I wanted to give our customers an update, since we have been getting a lot of questions surrounding the Coronavirus situation. We here at Nootropics Depot are currently operating like normal. However, we are taking the situation seriously. Currently, orders are being processed and shipped out like you would normally expect. However, things can change rapidly. We have been using enhanced biological protections at our facility, along with having multiple non-essential employees work from home, in an effort to social distance in a responsible manner. We have implemented a pandemic response plan, and have educated all our employees about the facts surrounding the current situation. We are ensuring that we as a company, along with all our employees individually, respond in a level-headed and intelligent manner to this ongoing issue. We will work to maintain normal operations for our customers for as long as we can, while ensuring that we are being responsible regarding the overall public health of our community.

I wish we could talk about Immune Defense in the context of this situation, but I know there are strict laws around what the company can and cannot say, even on forums like this.
Maybe we could speak about a hypothetical novel virus and Immune Defense's potential effects.

I am taking Immune Defense every day, and I am having all my family and friends do the same... if that means anything. Again, I am not an infectious disease expert. So people should not take what I say as gospel. Do your own research and take all the data you have available into account.
The best way for you to get some good info is to use Google Scholar and Scihub to search for specific ingredients in Immune Defense and the thing you are looking to see how it affects. So you can use "Nigella sativa + disease" in Google Scholar to find interesting studies that discuss it. Then you can take the DOI from that study over to Scihub to get the full paper. I also look at mechanisms. So if you are specifically looking at COVID-19, a lot of that research is free right now. Then you can look at the mechanism by which SARS-CoV-2 enters and infects the body, and how the COVID-19 disease works.
I can link you a few interesting ones here.
