“Zinc is the bullet - it kills the virus. The only problem is the bullet doesn’t get to the place where it needs to be.
The virus is inside the cell. The enzyme is inside the cell. And the zinc on its own cannot get into the cell. You have a bullet without a gun – useless.
Now, it turns out that a class of substances called ‘zinc ionophores’ — what they do — is they open up a channel, a door, which allows zinc to go from outside the cell to inside the cell.
There are four of them that are readily available – two of them are prescription and two of them are over-the-counter. The two prescription ones everyone has heard of: Hydroxycholorquine and Ivermection.
Quercetin and Vitamin C together form a functioning zinc ionophore — a zinc delivery system. Zinc is what it delivers, so you actually need zinc as well. You need the gun and the bullet.
Does this supplement Hero contain a ZINC IONOPHORE?
(Dr. Zelenko's Z stack has: Quercitin, Zinc, Vit D3 and Vit C. Not pushing his med, but it's pretty complete.)
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.

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.
Good thing I like all those foods! But I won’t get proper amounts just from eating those will I?
