Everything that Karen said in her post is the absolutely best answer for you. You should also know that in addition to taking it with food, there is a school of thought that it should be taken with a fatty meal for better absorption, and you should not take ivermectin at the same time as quercetin. So, if you are taking ivermectin and quercetin as part of your protocol, take one at lunch and the other closer to dinner or after dinner. I have also been told that quercetin is best taken on an empty stomach, but I have not found that in any of the FLCCC protocols.
