Quercetin: A flavonoid that fights COVID like hydroxychloroquine
Quercetin is a flavonoid, a naturally occurring pigment found in many plants and foods like onions, green tea, apples, red leaf lettuce and berries. It has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects that help reduce swelling, regulate blood sugar and lower the risk of heart disease.
Modern Discontent, an independent publisher of scientific papers on the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19), posted a review of quercetin and its benefits in relation to the disease. It gave a summary on how quercetin helps shuttle zinc, which has antiviral activity, into the cell of a human body. It has also shown that it can inhibit ACE2 receptor docking, which aids in preventing viral attachment and eventually viral entry into the cell.
People can get quercetin through their diet.
Foods and drinks that contain quercetin include grapes, berries, cherries, apples, citrus fruits, onions, buckwheat, broccoli, kale, tomatoes, red wine and black tea. Onions have the highest level of quercetin when compared to other tested produce because it contains approximately 300 mg per kilogram.
