The high doses of quercetin is probably the issue. Quercetin is definitely good for people's health and comes naturally in most fruits and vegetables. Something like 30-100 mg per day might be the most a person can get from food and is likely a better daily dose size instead of the 500 mg or 1,000 mg per day in most supplements.

The other question is does mouse fertility return if they stop taking the quercetin? Quercetin in a 500 mg daily dose might be fine when taken as medicine for short periods of time.

Interesting thoughts.

Here's another one - given that the majority of folk affected by the disease are past child bearing age is fertility really a problem if taking quercetin helps with said disease? You know, like young people not needing to be concerned about the potential effects of quercetin on fertility anyway as they don't get seriously ill with the virus in the first place and so wouldn't take it. ...

Just my mind a-wandering and wondering... not saying quercetin is a problem or benefit or not, just commenting on the concept in the bigger picture.
