Feels just like the flu fwiw.

Quercetin, + zinc + Bromelain all can be bought at your local vitamin Shoppe (not a fan of the stuff at wallyworld)
Quercetin acts as an Ionophore, which draws the zinc into your blood cells, which inhibts viral duplication. the Bromelain doesn't do anything except help absorb the Quercetin

I am not a doctor, and this is not medical advice.
‘Preciate it
Even Fauci couldn't have put it any better.
Yup, spring valley is made in china crap.
Spring Valley vitamins are not made in China. They are manufactured by a company in New York. The reason a lot of their supplements say 'product of China' or something similar is because many of the herbs that are popular as supplements (Ginko biloba for example) are grown only (or primarily) in China. So a huge percentage of the ingredients for ALL supplement manufacturers come from China.
I can't vouch for the purity of their products, but as someone who is poor and struggling with several long term chronic health issues, I can afford their products whereas I cannot afford all of the fancy name brand stuff that often costs 5 or 10 times as much. But I take more than a dozen supplements daily and they do what they are supposed to do. If I stop taking any of them I can tell very quickly as my symptoms get worse. Are there better brands out there? Of course, but usually at a much higher price. Lower purity products can still provide some benefit for those who can't afford anything else.
tldr: Spring Valley supplements are manufactured in New York, not China. It is many of the plants that are grown in China.
I'm just going by what I've seen in the past where it stated made in china right on the bottle. I used to buy Spring Valley vitamins too until I found out they got busted for selling fake supplements.

If cost is an issue might I suggest buying in bulk from online vendors. For example, I buy 400mg CoQ10 in 300 capsule bottles from favmedsusa.com for $55 and they're "sourced, freshly bottled and sealed, exclusively from USA based GMP Approved Laboratories."
Wish I would have known about Bromelain. I can confirm the other two kicked the flu (maybe rona) out of my Type 1 diabetic body within 12-18 hours. Granted I also chose to sleep lots & that may have helped.
edit: Meant to say 18-24 hrs. Not sure why I posted 12-18.
