CDQZ Immune Support is a dietary supplement inspired by the Zelenko Protocol, containing a combination of Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, Quercetin, and Zinc to support the optimal function of the innate and adaptive immune system.

Dr. Zelenko’s approach and its impact on immune support

Dr. Vladimir Zelenko became widely known early in the COVID-19 pandemic for advocating a multi-nutrient and early-intervention protocol. His treatment strategy emphasized using readily available compounds - including zinc, quercetin (or other zinc ionophores), vitamin C, and vitamin D3 - often in combination with prescription drugs. The core idea was that early support for the immune system could reduce disease severity and improve outcomes, especially in at-risk patients.

Zelenko’s emphasis on micronutrient synergy made a lasting impression. His reasoning - that quercetin can help shuttle zinc into cells (enhancing its antiviral potential), and that adequate vitamin D status is crucial for immune resilience - highlighted the importance of looking at the immune system holistically rather than focusing only on single compounds.

This approach helped spark renewed scientific and consumer interest in how foundational nutrients (C, D3, zinc, plant flavonoids) could be strategically combined to support both innate and adaptive immunity. As a result, researchers began to study multi-nutrient formulas, like the CDQZ combinations, not just for general wellness but as targeted immune support tools.

In this way, Zelenko’s work contributed to a shift in perspective: from treating deficiencies reactively to proactively optimising immune readiness through synergistic supplementation - an idea that has since become mainstream in the supplement industry.

Here are key points about this supplement:

Ingredients:

1. Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid): Essential for various cellular functions of natural immunity, including protecting cells from oxidative stress and reducing tiredness and fatigue.
2. Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol): Stimulates the initiation of white blood T cells, playing a central role in the adaptive immune system’s response to antigens.
3. Quercetin: A plant bioflavonoid that helps combat free radical damage, linked to chronic diseases. Quercetin also acts as a natural zinc ionophore, facilitating zinc’s entry into cells.
4. Zinc (Zinc Sulfate): Controls immune system messaging within cells and exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Mechanism of Action:

1. Vitamin C supports cellular functions, while Vitamin D3 initiates white blood cell responses.
2. Quercetin helps zinc pass through cell walls, enabling it to affect cellular responses to infections and inflammation.
3. Zinc, in turn, modulates immune system messaging and exhibits antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

Benefits:

1. Supports overall immune health
2. May help combat oxidative stress and chronic diseases
3. May aid in reducing tiredness and fatigue
4. Suitable for vegetarians

Dosage: Take one capsule daily with food.

Important Notes:

1. Food supplements should not replace a varied diet.
2. Consult a healthcare professional before using if you have food allergies, are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking prescribed medication, or have medical conditions.
3. Do not exceed the recommended dose.
4. Store in a dry place, below 25°C, and keep out of reach of children and pets.

CDQZ Immune Support is a synergistic blend of vitamins and flavonoids, designed to support the body’s innate and adaptive immune systems. By providing essential nutrients and modulating immune responses, this supplement may help promote overall immune health and well-being.
