THE PROTOCOL: Niacin B3, Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Quercetin, Zinc, and Selenium
Boosting NAD+ is of particular importance when it comes to COVID-19. NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is in every cell of your body. NAD+ is involved in cell creation, maintenance, metabolism, and regulating cell processes. COVID both increases the breakdown of NAD+ and decreases the production of NAD+. If you have suboptimal NAD+ prior to contracting COVID, the coronavirus is likely to make the symptoms more severe and persist longer in duration (resulting in death.)
By maintaining lifestyle and diet, COVID-19 can be prevented and/or shortened in severity and duration. COVID-long Haulers Syndrome can be cured. Long haulers syndrome is COVID-19 Induced Secondary Pellagra (CISP).
THE DIET TO BOOST THE IMMUNE SYSTEM WITH NAD+
Quercetin
Coffee and red wine are rich in Quercetin. Dieting can be fun. Quercetin is a bioflavonoid found in fruits and vegetables. There isn't a Recommended Daily Allowance and the dosage depends on your weight; however, at least a 100mg per day is a good rule of thumb. 500-1000mg per day may be needed to boost NAD+. The highest levels are found in:
Zinc
The Recommended Daily Allowance of Zinc is 10-15mg per day.
Vitamin C
The Recommended Daily Allowance of Vitamin C is 60mg per day. For NAD+ boosting, 500-1000mg may be required. Whole foods are recommended. Juicing may provide higher concentrations of Vitamin C; however, other nutritional benefits are lost in the process. You may need to supplement your diet with 500mg of Vitamin C per day.
Vitamin D
The Recommended Daily Allowance of Vitamin D is 600-1,000iu per day. For NAD+ boosting, you may need to supplement your diet with 1,000-2,000iu of D3 per day. Few foods naturally contain vitamin D.
Selenium
The Recommended Daily Allowance of Selenium is 55mcg per day. Care should be taken not to overdose on Selenium. Consuming 50 Brazil nuts in one day can lead to selenosis resulting in breathing problems, heart attack, kidney failure, and death. Selenium supplements are not recommended.
Niacin B3 The Recommended Daily Allowance of Niacin is 16mg per day. Niacin is your main precursor to creating NAD+. You will likely need to supplement your diet with 50-100mg of Niacin per meal in order to boost your NAD+ and immune system. Nicotinic acid is essential, NOT nicotinamide. Most Americans get their Niacin from fortified breakfast cereal. Niacin is sprayed on the outside along with several other vitamins. It would take 100 bowls of Wheaties/day to correct a niacin deficiency. To obtain the amount of Niacin needed from a natural diet would require 4 pounds of liver a day or 62 pounds of cabbage (not recommended).
