I know they’re a lot of you out there that have suffered from covid-19 and may still be having some lingering respiratory issues or you may just want to make sure you’re as healthy as possible to prevent or reduce symptoms if you do contract the virus, so I wanted to break down a few supplements that may help.
Quercetin
Quercetin has anti-inflammatory benefits which are effective in reducing lung inflammation which can also help reduce asthma symptoms, to learn more about asthma remedies see ink below.
Quercetin has been studied for a very long time for different viruses like SARS, Epstein-Barr and many more. What they have found is that taking quercetin interferes with the virus’s ability to infect healthy cells, reducing the progression of the virus. The recommended dose is 500-1000mg a day; anything over 1000mg would be hard on the kidneys so stay in this range.

Berberine
Berberine has been studied a lot after the SARS pandemic and already being researched for Covid-19. The China National Health Commission for COVID‐19 says that berberine is promising to both prevent and treat SARS & Covid-19. Berberine has anti viral properties which prevents the virus from replicating and damaging healthy cells, most importantly the lung cells. Berberine is also anti bacterial and anti inflammatory all the things you want to fight a virus or want to control those virus cells still lingering in your system. Berberine has also been studied to help support glucose levels and support heart health. This is a powerful supplement, if you want to try it I would recommend a dose of 1500mg per day taking 500mg 3 times a day.
