I have bought my son VIT C, D and olive leaf extract added nitric oxide boosters, beet root powder and L arginine, the latter only if he became ill. He works at Whole Foods as a grocery clerk. I found this very interesting as they are using Nitric Oxide to treat Covid cases. It blocks replication and it helps with oxygen absorption. A quote from MedPage Today.... "However, perhaps the most convincing role of nitric oxide in this disease is its antiviral properties. SARS-CoV-2 infects cells by attaching to a receptor on the lining of the airways called angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2). This is the same mechanism by which SAR-1 infects cells. NO specifically alters a surface protein on SARS-1, known as the spike protein, such that it cannot attach to the ACE2 receptor. This results in blocking viral entry into the cell as well as the subsequent replication of the virus. Since SARS-CoV-2 shares the same mechanism of cell entry, we can relatively confidently assume that NO would have a similar effect regarding this novel virus."

What are and where do you get these Nitric Oxide boosters ?

Regarding Arginine vs. Lysine see these 2 videos the user "Bo K." published on YT claiming how LYSINE helped him.
From what I understand, when you SUFFER FROM COVID-19 SYMPTOMs, you want to consume LYSINE in excess of Arginine. AND NOT DRINK COFFEE, as it prevents nitric oxide from being exhaled, prevents Arginine from normal consumption, both feeding the virus and cytokine storm.

There is one study I have heard of, stating NO is beneficial. I don't know how they are administering it. Possible that flooding the body with nitric oxide is beneficial.

DO NOT USE ARGININE TO PRODUCE NITRIC OXIDE. ARGININE will invite the virus in.

Other than flooding the body (throwing it out of balance maybe, I don't know for sure), either arginase/arginine conversion to nitric oxide may be the process that makes the cytokines inflammed. I will try to adress it in part 3.

If arginine, nitric oxide is healthy while with covid infection, none of my long haulers would get better when they quit coffee and excercise. While yes both are inflammatory, they both create excess arginine nitric oxide in the system.

FOR THE RECORD..... DON'T DRINK COFFEE OR EXERCISE for at least 3 weeks after returning back to normal with no symptoms or pills. You severely increase your chances of being a long hauler.
