Quercetin should be taken with zinc. QUERCETIN itself has strong anti-viral properties. The major benefit of taking quercetin with zinc is that the quercetin will push the zinc into the center of the cell where the zinc can stop the virus from reproducing.

Zinc gluconate is one of the most common over-the-counter forms of zinc. Zinc gluconate, 14.3% elemental zinc, so 100 mg = 14 mg elemental zinc.

Magnesium/Mg is essential in the metabolism of vitamin D3, and taking high doses of vitamin D can induce depletion of Mg.

Adequate magnesium supplementation should be considered as an important aspect of vitamin D3 therapy.

Magnesium is one of essential macrominerals, minerals which humans need to consume in relatively large amounts—100 mg or more—to maintain optimal health.
