GIVOL Organic ZINC Boost Mist 100mg (Extra Strength) Liquid Spray for Kids & Adults - Immune Boost - High Flavonoid Levels - Vegan- Easy Absorption - Non-GMO - 2 oz

How I survive SARS-CoV-2 in the ER…. Most days, 4 months…So far, So good…

As an ER physician, on the front lines for the last four months, (NYC and Navajo Nation) more often than not,... I finally have something meaningful to share. None of this should be considered to be medical advice. It's just one Physicians tale of survival. In the pictures you will see how I have survived in a coronavirus atmosphere. I have done everything from intubations, respiratory therapy treatments, and all other sorts of horrible things in the emergency room during this coronavirus outbreak with the PPE tools you see in these pictures. The literature states, that RNA reverse transcriptase viruses are very susceptible to poisoning by zinc (believe in Zicam? ) in the ribosome. There's plenty of review articles on this from the Ebola and coronavirus literature from 2015 to 2018. Google for yourself. The problem has been getting zinc into the cell - - it's a big positively charged ion. Ionophores help with zinc passage across the cell membrane, and ionophores include quercetin, EGCG (green tea extracts) , and interestingly enough, hydroxychloroquine. GIVOL's ZINC BOOST is one of the most cost effective products I have found, being a 4 months supply at 100 mg per day. In addition, the product has plenty of vitamin C, and bioflavonoids--that also help push zinc into the cell. With such an approach, you can avoid the toxicity of high doses of zinc, by actually getting the zinc you ingest into the cells. I also use vitamin D, for immune support. Please note, the K2 in SBRs vitamin D would not be good for patients on Coumadin, as it would negate the effects of Coumadin, being a vitamin K. Again, I have been operating in a coronavirus atmosphere for four months in extreme exposure. You will see the simple surgical water resistant Gown, that we manually disinfect with disinfectant wipes, up to 15 times a day, roll up outside-in, and reuse the next day. Thank you 3M for P100 respiratory protection at 99.8 percent (these are the original 3M 2297 pads from February, 2020, that you can wipe down and use until you can't breathe through them) and RK goggles that have protected my eyes. I use baby wipes, boosted with 91 percent isopropyl alcohol to wipe my face, my goggles, and my respirator at least 5 times a day, besides the doffing cleanings. I use a Balaclava lycra head cover, not pictured here, but the thin ones I found on Amazon. I don't think my cleaning and equipment is optimized by any means, and I'm sure I breached PPE precautions, and accidentally exposed myself many times. That means I have probably been exposed numerous times to SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, my conclusion is that this oral regimen of Quercetin, Zinc, and Vitamin D has at least help afford some protection against infection in my exposure environment. That's what the literature predicts. I am motivated to share this information with Amazon users, in hopes it will help someone along the way. Remember that besides social distancing, wearing masks, and good handwashing, we don't have many treatments or tools to help, and those tools don't work in the ER, or are not practical. It's not proven information, except in my own experience. It's not a treatment for Coronavirus, but it may serve to help some who have to work in this environment, and it could be extrapolated to help treat those who contract the virus, you be the judge. At this instant in time, it's as good as any other information on protection and treatment that's out there, at least by my experience. I received no financial gain from any of the suppliers noted, and most of the products I ordered off of Amazon before the shutdown for Hospital Order/Use Only. I have no mouth piece, or any other way to share this information. This is not meant as a treatment protocol, only some observations for having lived through this virus.... So Far, So Good. I'm going to keep doing what I do with these tools, because they have worked for me. I don't know if Amazon will print this review, but God Bless you all and protect you all, and best wishes.

Importance of zinc

This product is best absorbed if sprayed underneath the tongue. Nobody in the media seems to be talking about ways to help boost our immune system to help protect our bodies from contracting Covid-19. Personally, I had many of the Covid-19 symptoms and started this regimen. Not all of these things came in at the same time from Amazon. The last thing to come in was Quercetin. Once I started taking it in combination with the other vitamins, I felt much better within 24 hours and completely back to normal within 48 hours. A friend of mine tested positive for Covid-19 and his father had the same symptoms but wasn't tested. I brought him this regimen the same day of the positive test result. Within 24 hours both were feeling much better and within 48 hours they were completely symptom free. I found this regimen shortly after developing some of the symptoms. This video can be found on YouTube and it is called "Coronavirus Pandemic Update 59: Dr. Seheult's Daily Regimen (Vitamin D, C, Zinc, Quercetin, NAC)." In the video, Dr Seheult (who works directly with Covid-19 patients) recommends the following regimen using these over-the-counter vitamins and supplements. DISCLAIMER: always consult your physician before adding any new supplements to your diet. 1) Vitamin C (2:14) 2) Vitamin D (4:21) 3) Quercetin (7:02) 4) NAC (8:17) 5) Zinc (9:47) 1) Liposomal Vitamin C - is an anti-inflammatory and antiviral. Specifically liposomal vitamin C has a much higher absorption rate than regular vitamin C. The only thing better is intravenous vitamin C. 2) Vitamin D - even if you can get 15 minutes of sun every day, you should still consider adding a vitamin D supplement to your diet. Multiple studies have proven the effectiveness of vitamin D towards fighting Covid-19. If you do a Google search for "Vitamin D mortality rates Covid-19," you will find all kinds of scientific research. In one of the studies from Indonesia, patients with normal levels of vitamin D, the death rate was 4%. In patients with insufficient levels of vitamin D, the death rate was 88%. In patients with deficient levels of vitamin D, death rate was 99%. 3) Quercetin - has the ability to interfere with the enzyme in your cells that the coronavirus requires to get in your cells and begin replicating. Similar to Hydroxychloroquine, Quercetin is a zinc ionophore. A zinc ionophore activates the port to allow zinc to enter a cell. Once in the cell, zinc is then able to block the enzyme RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, which turns off viral replication. 4) NAC also called N-Acetyl Cysteine - people claim it helps shorten cold, flu, & sinus infections. It is used to increase levels of glutathione, which is one of the body's most important antioxidants. It also helps burn fat more effectively through its ability to improve insulin sensitivity, which means it helps the body use insulin more efficiently to help treat Type 2 diabetes. NAC's ability to replenish & regulate glutamate levels helps improve brain health for conditions like Alzheimer's, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorders (OCD), and other addictive behaviors. Warning, if you have asthma or bleeding problems, consult your doctor who may tell you to avoid NAC. 5) Zinc - it is well known that zinc (Zn) possesses a variety of direct and indirect antiviral properties, but over time it decreases copper levels in your body. Administration of a zinc supplement enhances antiviral immunity to restore depleted immune cell function. Zinc also protects or stabilizes the cell membrane which contributes to blocking of the virus entry into the cell and inhibits viral replication. Zinc does this by blocking RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), the core enzyme of their multiprotein replication and transcription complex that is critical for the copying of viral RNA. Fortunately, there are molecules that can act as facilitators and enhance the entry of zinc into the cell. These are known as zinc ionophores. In addition to Hydroxychloroquine, other things like Quercetin and to a lesser extent Green Tea are zinc ionophores (both of which can be bought over the counter). How zinc ionophores work. Zinc ions stay outside the cell. The cell's membrane and binding molecules limit the ability of zinc to penetrate into the cell. A zinc ionophore activates the port to allow zinc to enter a cell. Once in the cell, zinc is then able to block the enzyme RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, which turns off viral replication. 6) Alkaline Water - this was not mentioned in the above video, but has been mentioned in other videos. It is used to raise your alkaline levels and it is also an anti-inflammatory

Preventing coronavirus

I am a supervisor therapist, medical field since 1990. I am happy so far. I use this as protection along with quercetin , Vitamin D and vitamin C which I know vitamin C is in this. But so far I have not tested positive or been sick with coronavirus even though I am constantly around patients. Soooo I think I would recommend it in combination as With quercetin it would act as zinc with hydroxychloroquine without needing the prescription Which as stated by many physicians this is actually the preventative measures to tak

Wonderful for lazy teens! Potent protection!

Wanted to boost my 2 teen's immunity during these covid times. Had a hard time finding zinc tabs/liquid at local retail stores. Started with Elderberry spray last winter...amazing. Upgraded now to more potency with this zinc spray. Easy to use for them and flavorful. No upset tummies. Loving this product which has elderberry, and C mixed in! Keep on keeping on

Great for boosting immune system! Great for COVID-19

Easy to use, especially for kids! The taste is lightly sweet. Great for boosting the immune system! Our family all tested positive for Covid-19, our symptoms range from none to a MILD cold!! We've been taking this prior to contracting the virus. We're on our 2nd bottle. I believe this product works

Damaged, seal broken.

Really disappointed. My son has vitamins he's required to take because of the medication he is on disrupt various vitamin absorption, and because of covid all the vitamins he normally takes are completely sold out and have been. It can affect his bone density even. I thought I would try this since it's in spray form and reduces the amount of pills he has to take. I just received it. Upon opening it, I noticed the seal for the lid had been removed. I'm really really upset. Because of the restrictions I don't know how I will make it 45 mins away to the nearest UPS store to return this, if it's returnable. It looks as though the lid was removed and then just clamped back on over the seal. I can provide images but the current screen Im on does not have that option

From A to Zinc

I like the product just fine and help to think that this has kept the whole family healthy over the past year. The spray nozzle can be a little more directional. So that when I spray in my mouth, it doesn't get on my cheeks/face
