DISCLAIMER: Always consult YOUR physician before adding any new vitamins or supplements to your diet. DO NOT take any of the maximum doses for an extended period of time (no more than 5-7 days). Be sure to read each pill label for minimum and maximum dosage information.
Here's what a Covid-19 doctor recommends. Dr Roger Seheult is a QUADRUPLE BOARD CERTIFIED in internal medicine, pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine and is an associate professor of medicine who used to teach and write questions for MCAT. He has been recommending the following vitamin regimen to boost the immune system since the beginning of the pandemic (April of 2020). The good news is anyone can add this regimen to their daily routine whether they get the vaccine or not. Remember, just because a person gets the vaccine DOES NOT make them immune from Covid-19. Listed below are the video times where you can find him discussing each vitamin and supplement in the video.

1) Liposomal Vitamin C (2:14)
2) Vitamin D (4:21)
3) Quercetin (7:02)
4) NAC (8:17)
5) Zinc Picolinate (9:47)
WARNING: I AM NOT A DOCTOR SO CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE TAKING ANY SUPPLEMENTS AND TO CONFIRM THE CORRECT DOSAGE FOR YOU.
Personally, I take this vitamin regimen each day to help boost my immune system. However, I stopped taking NAC every day for two reasons. I already have high blood pressure (which is also a possible side effect) and it has only been shown to help IF you get Covid-19 (not as a prophylactic). Below is what I take daily, versus what I take when exposed to Covid-19, versus what others have taken when they've been diagnosed with Covid-19.
DAILY DOSAGE (TAKEN IN THE MORNING WITH A MEAL)
1) Liposomal Vitamin C (1x day) = 600-800mg
2) Vitamin D (1x day) = 25-50mcg (1000 IU to 5000 IU but depends on age for example 20's & 30's= 2000 IU; 40's = 3000 IU; 50's = 4000 IU; +60's = 5000 IU)
3) Quercetin (1x day) = 500-800mg (only taken when possibly exposed to virus - like large groups indoors)
4) NAC (1x day) = 500-600mg (only taken when possibly exposed to virus - like large groups indoors)
5) Zinc Picolinate (1x day) = 25-50mg (only taken when possibly exposed to virus - like large groups indoors)
DOSAGE WHEN CONFIRMED EXPOSURE TO COVID-19 (TAKE IN MORNING & EVENING AFTER EXPOSURE 1-3 DAYS)
1) Liposomal Vitamin C (2x day) = 1200-1600mg total
2) Vitamin D (2x day) = 100mcg (4000 IU total for day, but depends on age)
3) Quercetin (2x day) = 1000-1600mg total
4) NAC (2x day) = 1000-1200mg total
5) Zinc Picolinate (2x day) = 100mg total
DOSAGE AFTER RECEIVING A POSITIVE COVID-19 TEST (TAKE WITH EACH MEAL FOR THE FIRST 5-7 DAYS)
1) Liposomal Vitamin C (3x day) = 2400mg total
2) Vitamin D (3x day) = 125-250mcg (5000 IU to 10,000 IU total and never go over 10,000 IU)
3) Quercetin (3x day) = 1500-1600mg total
4) NAC (3x day) = 1800mg total
5) Zinc Picolinate (3x day) = 150mg total
Additionally, I add alkaline water (above 9.5 alkalinity) to this vitamin regimen because I believe it makes the vitamins more effective (my personal opinion). I take the alkaline water on an empty stomach at least 1-2 hours before a meal because it decreases the acidity levels in the stomach (which isn't good when your body needs the acidity to digest your food). I have also stopped drinking any pop or coffee (which are highly acidic and saved for only special occasions). Typically, I drink about 16 oz in the morning immediately after waking up and another 16 oz before going to bed (which also helps with my acid reflux and inflammation due to both knees having ACL surgeries and back pain due to degenerative disc disease). I will only drink more than the two 16 oz glasses on days that I workout (but no more than an additional 20 oz on those workout days or I end up with a headache).
Here are the WARNINGS for each of the vitamins. Please read them.
1) WARNING, too much vitamin C can cause diarrhea.
2) WARNING, too much vitamin D can cause heart palpitations, headaches, nausea and vomiting, weakness, and frequent urination. Vitamin D toxicity might progress to bone pain, kidney problems, and the formation of calcium stones.
3) WARNING, if you are pregnant or have kidney problems consult your doctor who may tell you to avoid Quercetin.
4) WARNING, if you are pregnant, have asthma, have bleeding problems, or have high blood pressure, consult your doctor who may tell you to avoid NAC.
5) WARNING, too much zinc can cause a decrease in copper & iron levels in your body, cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, metallic taste, headaches, kidney and stomach cramps, fever, coughing, stomach pain, fatigue, and other side effects. NOTE: To add copper & iron in your diet the richest dietary sources are shellfish, organ meats, and pumpkin seeds.
