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.

Interesting, thanks for the link. I didn't see berberine mentioned though, what's your thinking on its possible interaction with the virus infection?
I actually just started berberine for the first time 2 days ago, and I'm really liking the effects it has on my mood and cognition. I don't know why I never tried it before, guess I assumed it was only for blood sugar control. I also do intermittent fasting, and I think you've said you do as well. Do you just take berberine right before you eat then? So far that's what I've been doing.

Sorry, the berberine was just for general AMPK boosting, which is what hesperidin is doing. I don't think it has a direct effects on COVID-19. It was milk thistle, specifically silybin, which seems to inhibit PL-pro, RdRP, and may bind to ACE2 with low binding energy.
I take berberine 3X per day. I fast all day; usually 22-23 hours. So two of my doses are just in a fasted state, and the 3rd is right before I eat.
