Really, so if quercetin is the vehicle for the zinc and it's to be taken in the am on empty stomach how does that work exactly or am I misunderstanding something?
I have no idea what you just said to be honest, I only know from experience of taking zinc on an empty stomach it makes you want to puke. Last time I did that I was able to eat some grapes and the nausea went away.
Since I suck at explaining things:) I found where it discusses this in Dr. Zelenko's protocol:
"Quercetin helps zinc by acting as a zinc ionophore (PubMed 2014), the same mechanism of action that hydroxychloroquine has via helping zinc pass the cell wall where it might halt viral replication.
This zinc ionophore activity of quercetin facilitates the transport of zinc across the cell membrane. It is known that zinc will slow down the replication of coronavirus through inhibition of enzyme RNA polymerase (PubMed 2010)."
So this is why I was wondering the above. I take them together on an empty stomach in the morning and have not had any issues so far. I guess a protein drink or something, even a couple of saltines might help someone if it bothers their stomach.
I think it might be because the Quercetin is another pill so that is why you haven't ever had an upset stomach it gives it something to bind to or whatever. I don't know I am not a doctor lol! I just know if you take zinc by its self on an empty stomach it makes you want to puke.
Well that is definitely good to know. I will always make sure I take it w/ something:)
