220 mg? That’s very high for a regular daily dose.
I see this is sulfate not gluconate.

FYI, there’s better forms of zinc than zinc sulfate ... here’s a pretty decent article comparing the different forms ... any fully-reacted chelated form is better than any inorganic form ... naturally, the chelated forms are impossible to buy right now, but it’s food for thought when manufacturers catch up:
also, too much zinc is indeed toxic ... best not to take more than 40mg of elemental zinc:

Yes, that’s the form of zinc that they use in the Hydroxychloroquine “cocktail”. The 220 mg of zinc sulfate contains 50 mg of zinc.

If you want a form of zinc that is more readily uptaken by the mucous membranes, get some Cold-Eeze lozenges.

True dat. The 220 mg of zinc sulfate (contains 50 mg of zinc) is part of the Hydroxychloroquine “cocktail” regimen that is give for five days. This dose is not meant for continuous daily supplementation,
I already have Nature’s Bounty supplements of D3, Magnesium, Calcium and Zinc. The Zinc portion (zinc sulfate) is 25 mg. Double that and you have the 50 mg of these pills.
Offering this not as a substitute but for those who can’t get these pills or would rather buy locally.
For sure - but the cost difference for something like that, or Zicam is substantial...
10 bucks for shipping? WTF?
On Amazon now:
Alpha Chemicals Zinc Sulfate Monohydrate - 35.5% Zn - 99% Pure - 5 Pounds. $11.49 + shipping
That’s enough for about 10,000 220mg capsules.
My wife formerly took the Thorne 30mg however it was not then chelated.

It definitely is ridiculous. The funny thing is that if you doctor gave you a prescription for the zinc sulfate it would cost you next to nothing from the pharmacist.
Take 30-50 mg zinc with 500 mg quercetin and a chaser of 4 oz tonic water that contains real quinine ( double these doses if you are symptomatic)
Poor man’s hydroxy prophylactic
Then, you need hydrochloroquine. Here’s what I’ve read:
HCQ is a zinc ionophore, essentially opening the door to your cells for the zinc to go in. The zinc ruins the machinery for virus replication. HQC itself doesn’t do the work.

So what if you want to prep your medicine shelf with HQC or another zinc ionohore? If you have an accommodating Dr., get a prescripttion. If not, there are two otc supplements that are zinc ionophores:
Zinc Ionophore Activity of Quercetin and Epigallocatechin-gallate
https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/jf5014633
“Quercetin is a flavonoid antioxidant that’s found in plant foods such as leafy greens, tomatoes, berries and broccoli. It has been studied and proven to have anti-carcinogenic, anti-inflammatory and antiviral activity. It has been at the forefront for treatment of sinus problems.
Epigallocatechin-gallate (EGCG) is found in green tea. It is also an anti-oxidant.
This was a study to determine if quercetin and epigallocatechin-gallate can increase levels of intracellular zinc in mice with liver cancer.
The takeaways from the above paper:
Through fluorescence, quercetin and epigallocatechin-gallate were found to be ionophores and raised intracellular zinc levels.This is an animal study, not human.”
Yesterday, I ordered Quercetin from The Vitamin Shop (aka Super Supplements). I also drink green tea daily now, and take 3 zinc a week. I think I’m able to open the cell doors with Quercetin to let the Zincin to kill the bugger.
