Wait, so quercetin and quinine are the same thing?!
No. Quercetin, a plant pigment is a potent antioxidant flavonoid and more specifically a flavonol, found mostly in onions, grapes, berries, cherries, broccoli, and citrus fruits. It is a versatile antioxidant known to possess protective abilities against tissue injury induced by various drug toxicities.
HCQ is a derivative of Quinine. Quinine was first isolated in 1820 from the bark of a cinchona tree, which is native to Peru.[4][7][8] Bark extracts had been used to treat malaria since at least 1632 and it was introduced to Spain as early as 1636 by Jesuit missionaries from the New World.[9] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[10]
More; Quinine was first recognized as a potent antimalarial agent hundreds of years ago. Since then, the beneficial effects of quinine and its more advanced synthetic forms, chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine, have been increasingly recognized in a myriad of other diseases in addition to malaria. In recent years, antimalarials were shown to have various immunomodulatory effects, and currently have an established role in the management of rheumatic diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis, skin diseases, and in the treatment of chronic Q fever. Lately, additional metabolic, cardiovascular, antithrombotic, and antineoplastic effects of antimalarials were shown.
Thanks! I put quinine extract drops in the cocktail I make.
I just bought some quercetin. Should I just take it daily prophylactically, or only if I start feeling sick?
Do you know about grape seed extract? From previous research I identified that as the most powerful immune boosting antioxidant. The powder form is dirt cheap from bulk supplements.
I have heard grape seed extract is excellent but tbh I haven't procured any yet. I just keep horse paste, quercetin, zinc, D3 and Vit-C on hand & ready. I already take the Vit-C & D3 daily. For instance, I have to travel in a couple weeks so I gotta pack a supplement "kit" to go. Nowadays it's essential. 👍🏼
Amino acids are also great. Agmatine (1g 2x a day) for PTSD/depression, it stops the negative emotions. ALCAR (750-1g) for morning energy/motivation/fat burning, lasts about 8 hours for me, gets through the work day better than coffee. DLPA (1g) for mood (see "Mood Cure" book), I take this in the late afternoon after the ALCAR is wearing off, some take it twice a day though, amazing for mood and making all 5 senses feel better in general, then NAC (1g for OCD/irritability/addiction impulses, or 600mg for allergies/cold/flu). Glycine (3g before bed) for deep REM sleep.
Nah, quercetin is a compound found in onions and pineapples and stuff.
