I need something like this because I’m sick for the THIRD time this winter season and I’m fed up with it! Haven’t been able to find anything with quercetin in a multivitamin form, and I’m not sure my multivitamins even have the right dosage of c, d3 and zinc for me.
A single 8 oz. burger patty contains more than the RDA for zinc.
As far as quercetin goes, it's great but it's only one of many substances that acts as a zinc ionophore.
Apples, tomatoes, and broccoli are also good sources of quercetin along with other flavonoids that help bind zinc to cells for absorption as needed. Important thing here is eating the skin, so eat the apple instead of drinking juice.
Berries contain multiple flavonoids as well. I mentioned blueberries because they're antioxidant powerhouse. I buy them frozen and eat a handful here and there.
So, yes, if you eat whole fruits and vegetables and make sure your plate is colorful, you probably get enough quercetin. Can always take a supplement as well.
I eat plenty of red onions and I haven't gotten sick my entire adult life for the most part.
When I do feel a respiratory infection coming on (sore throat, stuffy nose, etc,), I always use a home remedy I learned as a kid. I bring some salt water to a boil, wait for it to cool a bit and then stick a towel over my head and breathe in the vapors for 10-20 minutes. The other thing I do is take a spoonful of honey with a clove of raw garlic chopped very fine and sprinkled with some crushed red pepper. Seems to stop anything in its tracks, especially after a good night's sleep.
Well crap I’ve been eating the wrong onions this whole time! I LOVE onions but I eat more of the white and Spanish onions over red. My mom has acid reflux and can’t have too many onions without upsetting her stomach. I can certainly start making more foods for myself with the red ones though.
We do pretty well with the berries. I love blueberry flavored everything like granola bars, fig bars, Greek yogurt, etc but eating raw blueberries is more challenging to me. I recently discovered I love blackberries but my all time favorites are strawberries and raspberries.
I’m not that great when it comes to the red meat department. I love beef and chicken but I usually cook those in a pasta dish. Still working at getting better recipes and branching out from just pastas. We’re growing a larger garden this spring compared to last year so I’m hoping to cut back my spending at the grocery while eating much healthier
That’s my main symptom now: sore throat. It’s been the common symptoms back in October when I had a cold, then Thanksgiving when I had Covid (didn’t test, just knew because of persistent annoying headache day after day). I’m tired of getting sore throats and congestion. Most irritating symptoms of illness ever in my opinion!
Have I missed a shared link where I can get the Z stack?
I personally haven’t tried this one yet. I usually do a honey lemon w hot water whenever I feel a sore throat coming on and it usually stops it in it’s track.

Blueberries have quercetin in them and they're delicious.
Red onions have even more quercetin.
Red meat is a good natural source of zinc. Pumpkin seeds are also high in zinc.
Word it's better to get the vitamins from natural sources too.
Good thing I like all those foods! But I won’t get proper amounts just from eating those will I?

Green Tea extract is another zinc ionophore.

I take Zelenko's Z stack. My husband talked to the company.
The usual dose is 2 capsules a day.
If you feel a cold coming on, you can take 6 capsules a day. Once I had a sore throat and upped my capsules and it was gone the next day.

Once I feel a sore throat I gargle with Crest Pro Health Intense. Don’t like the big corporate brands but it seems to work
