Zinc is difficult to get an accurate number from, because it goes into cells quickly

I thought zinc was difficult for us to absorb. (?)

That's why HCQ was effective, it increased our ability to absorb it - and it was zinc that inhibited virus replication.

Thank you for that info.

Cells can turn off zinc absorption. Male prostate cells that are inflamed with BPH reduce their absorption about 20%. Prostate cancer cells reduce it approaching 80%.

Viruses in cells and cancer cells can play with the channels to protect themselves. When this happens, you benefit from a zinc ionophore.
