Industrial tonic water does not have much quinine in it. To deal with malaria, you’d have to drink at least five liters of that nasty stuff, and probably more, just to get to 500 mg. per day. That’s because the FDA limits quinine content in tonic water to 83 mg. per liter and a minimum of 500 mg a day is considered a low-ish standard dose for treating malaria.

Who knows what the curative dose for the virus might be.

I make a cold-infusion tea from cinchona bark. It is not particularly bitter. Drink it three times a day. Have no idea how much quinine I’m getting, but I’m certain it’s more than I’d get from drinking an equivalent amount of industrial tonic water.

The issue has a long and complex history as regards malaria.
