Berberine does a lot more than most people think, and is really cool, too. [Berberine up-regulates the BDNF expression in hippocampus and attenuates corticosterone-induced depressive-like behavior in mice](https://www.

We don't have a single document. That would be a big document! It also would not be especially useful to dump thousands of studies on people. However, we can give some links for specific ones, if we know what you are loo

It's a good form that is more reasonably priced than some others, like liposomal or ascorbyl palmitate. I've found that both Ester-C and Reacta-C work well for me.

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

Always have a scale when dosing powders. It's the only way to accurately dose things. We are going to do a big blog on that, and show people real world examples where scoops give them wildly different doses in different

I am just using 5,000 iu of D3 with menaquinone-7 in the morning.

Yes, it has acute effects. It's like a nice calming effect, while keeping you alert. Most people really like the effects.

No, that's weird! I just sent a message to my team. I will have them look into it and make sure it gets solved tomorrow.

I spoke to my team. Apparently FedEx had an issue with something t do with the label. My team is getting it fixed so they can send it out to you ASAP. I will have them credit your ND account for the shipping, due to the

Yes, that one is on our list. We have a lot on our list that we are trying to prioritize.

You're good. You package was sent out yesterday, and your ND account was credited for the shipping you paid for the delay.

I just spoke to my team about it, and we are going to reship your order out to you. USPS may have lost this one. Luckily we have switched to FedEx since you ordered. So all future orders will go out FedEx, as will this r

You are definitely on the right track! If I came down with COVID-19, you bet your ass I would be supplementing many things. I already am. There is good data out there right now. I think we can certainly use it to tailor

That would depend on my symptoms, and how serious of effects I get. I am young and healthy. So my primary goal would be to isolate myself and prevent others from getting it. I already am working from home and doing that.

Bromelain is often combined with quercetin because they work better together as an antihistamine and for the itching of eczema. Bromelain is not a zinc ionophore as far as I am aware, though. So it will not help in the c

I can't really comment on that, as I am not directly working with the evidence. It does seem scary. Also, the reports about people losing taste and smell from it are scary, too. The top comment on that thread puts it int

Stay safe! If you are really worried, I would look into hesperidin, berberine, and andrographis paniculata. That's what I am taking to block the receptor binding domain of SARS-CoV-2 from binding to the ACE2 receptors.

We are transitioning them to a new berberine formula as a tablet. So they will be even more effective. I will check where we are at with them.

I had not! I have now. That top one was published 2 days ago. So it does look like there is evidence it is affecting humans in that manner. Well shit, the mechanisms make sense, and the evidence in humans seems to line u

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, RdR

I thought about that, too. [Efficacy of Berberine in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2410097/) However, it is hard to say if acute berberine would positively affect COVID-19

I think once we are past all this, we are going to see a lot of effects and damage we did not expect. This is why when I see people on social media saying we are all going to get it anyway, and we should not ruin the eco

Well that's good! At least there is no viral RNA in semen. Not conclusive for it not affecting the testicles, though. That study was more looking into whether or not it could be transmitted sexually.

Comment · Mon, April 6, 2020 · 2 pts

Yes, but the ACE2 binding is the primary way it enters and infects the body. ACE2 binding itself is not the cause of the damage. It's the attack vector. There is also likely not a single mechanism for the damage from the

Depends on where you are and when you ordered. Most people are getting things in 2 days. Some even in 1 day that are close to us. COVID-19 is not slowing us down internally. Packages are still going out the door as fast

Ohh, international. That's totally different. The speed depends on what shipping method you select, and how fast your customs currently is processing shipments. What's your order number?
