Preventive Vitamins and Supplements
An important way to resist virus related illness is to boost your immune system through vitamin intake and nutrient-based supplements. Prophylaxis (prevention) supplement recommendations by Dr. Mercola, the Cleveland Clinic, and the Eastern Virginia Medical School (Critical Care COVID-19 Management Protocol) include the following:
- Vitamin C – 500 mg 2x per day
- Vitamin B-Complex
- Quercetin – 250 mg per day
- Zinc – 30-50 mg per day
- Melatonin (slow release). Begin with 0.3 mg and increase as tolerated to 2 mg at night
- Vitamin D3 – 1000 – 3000 IUs per day
Note: You can purchase many of these supplements online, at your health food store, or on our Nutridyn online shop.
Hydrogen Peroxide Gargling
The use of food grade Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) for mouth wash and gargling has shown to be effective in deactivating viruses (including the coronavirus) within seconds. In a study published in June 2020 by the NIH, they proposed using two puffs (about 0.28 ml) of 1.5% H2O2 nasal spray into each nostril two times daily, combined with a mouth wash and gargling for 1 min with a 3% H2O2 solution two times daily.
