Magnesium (which increases vitamin D) may fight COVID-19 - Oct 2020

Hartford Hospital Study: Pepcid, a Heartburn Medication, Helped Some COVID-19 Patients Sept 2, 2020
Pepcid = calcium carbonate +famotidine+ magnesium hydroxide
Apparently famotidine blocks Magnesium, so Pepcid adds Magnesium
Magnesium is essential to process Vitamin D in 8 stages (see below)

Suspect that people would have a similar COVID-19 benefit by just taking Magnesium
   Oral, injection, topical,. . .
And an even more benefit by taking Vitamin D
  Oral, injection, topical, mucosal, inhaled, etc.

Antacids

• "Most antacids contain at least one of these key ingredients: calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide and/or sodium bicarbonate. "

Zinc (which increases vitamin D in tissues) may both prevent and treat COVID-19

• "Antacids that contain both magnesium and aluminum — like Maalox and Mylanta — are less likely to cause diarrhea or constipation than products containing just magnesium or aluminum, since the effects of these two ingredients tend to balance each other out."
