I drink tonic water regularly for leg craps but the Quinine content in a 7.5oz container is far lower than “therapeutic level”.

The Quinine content of Tonic water is ~ 65mg/liter and the therapeutic level of Quinine to treat Covvid-19 is 200mg. So would would need to drink ~ 3 liters a day to receive a therapeutic level of Quinine.

Yes, that’s why it should be considered to consume as ‘prophylaxis’ meaning consume regularly and build up a defense over time.

And that’s a lot of gin to go with it too

I have ordered the Soda Stream concentrate
I have not tried it yet. I wonder if you can just take it without the soda?
