The most commonly reported side effects are mild and transient: injection site redness or minor bruising, transient fatigue in the first one to two weeks, and occasionally mild headache following the first few injections, a pattern sometimes attributed to the acute shift in cellular energy metabolism as AMPK pathways are upregulated [3]
Citrus fruits are rich in flavonoids for immunoregulation and potential targeting ACE2
