Quercetin: Why it went viral during COVID

Quercetin opens zinc channels in cell membranes, allowing zinc to enter cells and inhibit viral RNA replication. The "quercetin + zinc" protocol wasn't arbitrary, there's a specific ionophore mechanism that explains the synergy. That same mechanism opens the door for quercetin as a bioavailability platform for other metal ions.Publications of interest:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25050823/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8950086/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34514483/
