Rooted in science. Guided by intuition. Held in care.
At Heather Crider, ND, we know that healing from COVID and Long COVID is never one-size-fits-all. It’s layered. It’s deeply personal. And it often requires care that meets both body and soul — science and spirit.
Using the supplements you’ve provided, I’ve created three distinct support protocols, each designed to address a different phase or focus of the recovery journey. These are not treatments — they’re nutraceutical support strategies, meant to be used in partnership with a licensed healthcare provider, especially when navigating the complexities of COVID-19.
🌿 Protocol A: Immune Modulation & Viral Inhibition
Focus: Enhancing immune vigilance, reducing viral load, and calming the cytokine response.
- Quercetin SAP – 500 mg, 2x daily
Acts as a zinc ionophore: helps shuttle zinc into cells, where zinc can inhibit RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, a critical enzyme used by many RNA viruses to replicate.
- Zinc Glycinate – 30 mg daily with food
Essential for antiviral immunity and cellular repair.
- K2 D3 5000 – 1 capsule daily with a fat-containing meal
Vitamin D3 supports innate immune strength; K2 supports vascular integrity and balances calcium flow.
- Vitanica Immune Tonic – 1 tsp (5 mL), 2x daily
A botanical blend of elderberry and echinacea, sweetened with stevia to awaken and modulate the immune system naturally.
- Resveratin Plus – 1 capsule, 2x daily
Resveratrol + pterostilbene support antiviral pathways and the Nrf2 detox response.
🔥 Protocol B: Inflammation & Vascular Support
Focus: Soothing systemic inflammation, protecting vascular health, and supporting the body’s natural clot-clearing mechanisms.
- InflamCalm SAP – 2 capsules, 2x daily
A potent blend of curcumin, Boswellia, and bromelain to cool inflammation and ease tissue stress.
- Omega MonoPure Curcumin EC – 1 softgel, 2x daily
Bioavailable omega-3s + curcumin to reduce IL-6 and TNF-α — key inflammatory mediators in COVID.
- Bromelain (Enzymedica) – 500 mg, 2x daily (away from meals)
Supports respiratory function and helps break down excess mucus and inflammatory debris.
- Lumbrokinase – 20 mg, 2x daily on an empty stomach
Supports healthy blood flow and may reduce microclot risks — vital for post-viral vascular repair.
- K2 D3 5000 – 1 capsule daily
K2 enhances vascular protection and works beautifully alongside lumbrokinase for heart-lung synergy.
💪 Protocol C: Recovery & Mitochondrial Repair
Focus: Rebuilding energy, clarity, and cellular integrity after viral illness.
- Resveratin Plus – 1 capsule, 2x daily
Supports mitochondrial biogenesis through SIRT1 and AMPK pathways — think: energy from the inside out.
- MinRex (Multi-Mineral Complex) – 2 capsules daily with food
Replenishes key minerals like magnesium, zinc, and selenium — foundational for enzymatic healing.
- Omega MonoPure DHA EC – 1 capsule, 2x daily
High-potency DHA for neurological recovery, mood balance, and reducing post-viral neuroinflammation.
- BioInflammax – 1 scoop (approx. 10 g), 1–2x daily in water
A powerful blend of glutathione precursors, turmeric, and cellular antioxidants to assist in detox, repair, and gentle cleansing.
- Quercetin SAP – 500 mg, 1x daily
Continues to offer mitochondrial support, mild inflammation regulation, and histamine balancing.
💧 Additional Notes for Sacred Recovery
- Hydration and rest are medicine. Listen to your body’s pacing.
- These protocols can be layered or phased:
→ Protocol A or B during acute or early recovery stages
→ Protocol C for long-haul or post-viral fatigue
- Avoid combining Lumbrokinase with anticoagulants or during menstruation without professional guidance.
