Zinc is important. Increased intake of zinc has the side effect of stripping copper, so plan on supplementing copper in a dose that is taken at a different time (hours apart).
My favorite source of zinc is a liquid supplement that includes quercetin. That pairing helps drive zinc into cells making them a hostile environment for replication of SARS-CoV-2.

As usual the recommendation to overdose. Hubby didn't do any research either and overdosed (50mg day for a couple years) and is now copper deficient along with other symptoms. He's off the zinc supplement.
I suspect if he'd taken a lower dose (half or less) supplement he might have been fine.

Most common bottled dose is 50mg, but 30mg is available by some mfgrs. I’ve not seen a 40mg so far. I take the 50mg caps.

Yes, my supplement is 25 mg zinc picolinate + 1 mg copper.

Zinc has the ability to inhibit viral replication. Think covid-19, influenza.

“My favorite source of zinc is a liquid supplement that includes quercetin. That pairing helps drive zinc into cells making them a hostile environment for replication of SARS-CoV-2.”
I haven’t been totally convinced that the posited ionophore activity is meaningfully real and not merely theoretical. Despite taking all those I had covid four times and possibly five. But it’s true I stayed out of hospital so who knows..

My wife has to avoid any multivitamins and other supplements that contain extra zinc. Gives her nasty headaches.

Zinc has the ability to inhibit viral replication. Think covid-19, influenza. Yes, but only when zinc passes through the cell membrane and enters the cell.
Fortunately, zinc require a zinc ionophore to do this, so regular zinc supplemental use would not enter the cells unless one takes an ionophore like quercetin or hydroxychloroquine along with the zinc.

When I get the very first symptoms of a cold (usually a sore throat), I’ll take up to 2,000 mg of vitamin C and 100 mg of zinc daily for a few days. Seems to help lessen the severity. I haven’t had a cold (or Covid) since retiring in 2020, probably because I’m not around that many people now.
