Quercetin for COVID-19

24th treatment shown to reduce risk in July 2021, now with p = 0.0031 from 11 studies.

Lower risk for ICU admission, hospitalization, recovery, cases, and viral clearance.

No treatment is 100% effective. Protocols combine treatments.

5,100+ studies for 109 treatments. c19early.org

Discussion of the potential of quercetin for persistent COVID-19 symptoms resulting from oxidative stress. Authors explain how COVID-19 leads to oxidative stress through inflammation, cytokine storms, and coagulation abnormalities. Quercetin is a naturally occurring flavonoid antioxidant that can neutralize free radicals, inhibit viral enzymes, reduce platelet aggregation, and have immunoprotective effects. Studies show quercetin inhibits replication of various viruses. Authors suggest a mixture of quercetin and vitamin C could disrupt SARS-CoV-2 entry, replication, and assembly while strengthening the immune response. Authors note the challenges of quercetin's bioavailability indicating that formulations for improved bioavailability are important.
