It also is needed for the immune system to down-regulate once the infection is gone. Forty percent of Americans are deficient and 82% of African Americans, making this nutrient deficiency an epidemic. Titrate the dose to get blood levels of vitamin D between 60-80 ng/mL. This is the most important nutrient in this protocol."

"TIER 3- after the other supplements have been used or as stand alone based on provider recommendations. Benagene is a metabolically active form of oxaloacetate, used to help improve the function of mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell). Some preliminary research has suggested it may be useful in patients with Long COVID or other similar metabolic issues. For those under physician supervision the dosing can be maximized up to 500mg twice daily for maximal effect (5 pills twice daily). If not noticing any improvement in 3-5 days stop the product.
