COVID 19 is an infection which is causing not only severe acute immune response, it is leading to long term effect which is lasting more than 6 months in people who have suffered from it.

Let me re-emphasize, our doctors still do not have a set protocol to deal with this infection, and the need of the hour is to stay flexible with newer approaches which are evolving dynamically.

COVID 19 is an infection which is causing not only severe acute immune response, it is leading to long term effect which is lasting more than 6 months in people who have suffered from it.

Let me re-emphasize, our doctors still do not have a set protocol to deal with this infection, and the need of the hour is to stay flexible with newer approaches which are evolving dynamically.

Talking about long haulers, many people are suffering from:

• Memory lapses
• Chronic fatigue
• Digestive issues
• Abnormal heart rate
• Brain fog
• Frequent Dizzy spells
• Insomnia
• Incredibly useful nutrients to help recover post covid 19, which have been researched extensively as below:

These therapeutic agents have multiple benefits as below:

Improve cellular defense and cell repair.

Alter viral-induced detrimental cellular processes.

Help increase viral eradication and inactivation.

Help protect against collateral damage from other therapeutic agents.

Supports resolution of collateral damage and restoration of function.

Quercetin:

• Promotes viral eradication or inactivation
• Inhibits viral replication
• Favorably modulates viral-induced pathological cellular processes
• Promotes resolution of collateral damage and restoration of function
• Helps modulation of mast cell stabilization (anti-fibrotic)

Curcumin:

Favorably modulate viral-induced pathological cellular processes

Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG):

Favorably changes viral-induced pathological cellular processes

N-Acetylcysteine (NAC):

Mucolytic , binds to toxic end products and flushes them out helps in  cellular defense and repair mechanisms.

Resveratrol:

Helps modulate viral-induced pathological cellular processes favorably.

Vitamin D:

Helps modulate cellular defense and repair mechanisms

• Activation of macrophages

• Stimulation of anti-microbial peptides

• Modulation of defensins

• Modulation of TH17 cells

Melatonin:

Anti oxidant and helps modulate viral-induced pathological cellular processes

Vitamin A:

Boosts cellular defense and repair mechanisms

• Modulation of helper T cells

• Modulation of sIgA

• Modulation of cytokine production

Elderberry:

Improves cellular defense and repair mechanisms.

Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA):

Boosts cellular defense and repair mechanisms
Helps reduce viral-induced pathological cellular processes

Vitamin C:

Immune support nutrient helps improve  cellular defense and repair mechanisms

Zinc:

Optimises  innate and adaptive immune system
Reduces viral-induced pathological cellular processes, attachment, and replication
