Over The Counter Therapeutics for Preventing and Treating COVID-19

This again comes from a friend who has been all over this information since the beginning. Thank you – you know who you are. Obligatory “this is not medical advice”.

Over The Counter Therapeutics for preventing and treating Covid-19

Therapeutic	Why	The Science	Notes
Ivermectin	Inhibits and disrupts binding of the SARS-CoV-2 S protein at the ACE-2 receptors, and multiple other mechanisms	The mechanisms of action of Ivermectin against SARS-CoV-2: An evidence-based clinical review article	FLCCC Ivermectin Page Note: OTC for the vet version (but Ivermectin is Ivermectin) Ann Barnhardt Vet Ivermectin Page Note: Used in FLCCC protocols here and Zelenko treatment protocol here.
Zinc	Intracellular antiviral immunity	The Role of Zinc in Antiviral Immunity Potential role of zinc supplementation in prophylaxis and treatment of COVID-19
Quercetin	Zinc ionophore, facilitates zinc entry into cells	Zinc Ionophore Activity of Quercetin and Epigallocatechin-gallate: From Hepa 1-6 Cells to a Liposome Model Repurposing Therapeutics for COVID-19: Supercomputer-Based Docking to the SARS-CoV-2 Viral Spike Protein and Viral Spike Protein-Human ACE2 Interface	Note: Use in lieu of hydroxychloroquine, which is a prescription drug in the U.S. Note: Used in Zelenko prophylaxis protocol here and Zelenko treatment protocol here.
Azithromycin	Broad-spectrum antibiotic for bacterial infections including those associated with pneumonia	COVID-19 outpatients: early risk-stratified treatment with zinc plus low-dose hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin: a retrospective case series study Early COVID-19 therapy with azithromycin plus nitazoxanide, ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine in outpatient settings significantly improved COVID-19 outcomes compared to known outcomes in untreated patients	Note: OTC for the vet version Note: Used in Zelenko treatment protocol here.
Vitamin D3	Impact on innate and adaptive immune responses and on the suppression of the inflammatory process	Vitamin D Deficiency and Outcome of COVID-19 Patients The Impact of Vitamin D Level on COVID-19 Infection: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Vitamin D3 as Potential Treatment Adjuncts for COVID-19 Does vitamin D deficiency increase the severity of COVID-19?
Vitamin C	Supports epithelial barrier function against pathogens and promotes oxidant scavenging activity	Vitamin C and COVID-19 Vitamin C and Immune Function
n-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC)	Inhibits NF-κB, as well as the replication of viruses in human lung epithelial cells, reduces the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines	N-Acetylcysteine to Combat COVID-19: An Evidence Review N-Acetylcysteine as Adjuvant Therapy for COVID-19 – A Perspective on the Current State of the Evidence	Precursor of the antioxidant glutathione. Note: The FDA is trying to reclassify NAC as a drug. Can still be obtained here.
Glutathione	Protective action against the exacerbated inflammation triggered by COVID-19 upon ACE/ACE2 imbalance	The Role of Glutathione in Protecting against the Severe Inflammatory Response Triggered by COVID-19 Nebulization of Glutathione and N-Acetylcysteine as an Adjuvant Therapy for COVID-19 Onset Endogenous Deficiency of Glutathione as the Most Likely Cause of Serious Manifestations and Death in COVID-19 Patients	Note: Discussion of the best form of oral glutathione here.
Selenium	Inhibits entrance of viruses into the healthy cells	Selenium supplementation in the prevention of coronavirus infections (COVID-19) Selenium and viral infection: are there lessons for COVID-19?
Beta Hydroxybutyrate	Blocks NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated inflammatory disease	The ketone metabolite β-hydroxybutyrate blocks NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated inflammatory disease Severe COVID-19: NLRP3 Inflammasome Dysregulated	Note: Metabolized in the liver from C8 MCT (caprylic acid)
