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. If the situation does change, and we are forced to alter our operations in a manner that might affect customers, or the timely fulfillment of orders, we will notify you via ema…

Hey, read a few posts from you and they are really informative. It's appreciated.
If I felt it was progressing, I would start taking chloroquine phosphate... This is the drug they just mentioned in the White House press conference
I'm guessing it will now be impossible for ordinary Joes to get their hands on this stuff now
On a related note I take a quercetin complex which has Ester-C. The recommended serving of two capsules contain:
Quercetin (500mg)
Vitamin C as Ester-C (500mg)
Rose Hips powder (50mg)
Acerola extract 11:1 (50mg)
Rutin Powder (10mg)
Bromelain (50mg)
Does this seem like a good mix? If so, would you recommend continuing to take this in order to keep the immune system healthy in case I did get COVID-19 or do you think it is best to save these capsules in the event I did get it then take them?
I'm not expecting miracles from these capsules, I only ask because I see you mentioned quercetin in another thread and it seems unlikely that I'll be able to get chloroquine. And is there anything else you think is worthwhile stacking with quercetin?
Thanks for your time!

Correct, it is now restricted worldwide. However, you could not get it before now, anyway. We got it through our lab supply company as a reference standard. We just bought enough of it to make doses for our employees/family if needed. It's not approved in the US yet. So this is only a last resort for us, just in case.

Yes, that is a good mix. The bromelain, rutin, acerola, and rose hips are too low of a dose to matter, but they won't hurt anything.

Quercetin is good. I am taking it myself. EGCG might be good, too. They both act as zinc ionophores. Then you can combine them with our Microzinc to help shuttle it where it needs to go.
