Thank you but I’m not sure that you would require a zinc supplement to have enough in your system to effectively ward off the virus. I guess you would need to talk to a cellular biologist to determine what level of whole-body profusion and intercellular zinc is required to prevent a virus from replicating.

I also suppose that a rheumatologist could provide a questionnaire for his customers to evaluate the nature of their diet over a certain period of time to determine if they are ingesting a zinc-rich diet and then assign a probability rating of success based on that factor.

Examples of foods high in zinc include:

oysters, 3 ounces (oz): 74 mg.
beef patty, 3 oz: 5.3 mg.
Alaska king crab, 3 oz: 6.5 mg.
fortified breakfast cereal, 3/4 cup serving: 3.8 mg.
cooked lobster, 3 oz: 3.4 mg.
cooked pork chop loin, 3 oz: 2.9 mg.
baked beans, 1/2 cup serving: 2.9 mg.
dark meat chicken, 3 oz: 2.4 mg.

All I know is the 250mg of zinc sulfate listed in the protocol making the rounds on the internet. Keep in mind zinc sulfate absorption is limited to some degree when taken in supplement form. Supposedly, zinc picolinate is more readily absorbed but much more expensive and not nearly as available.

Yes, and if they take a zinc supplement. I think someone needs to get on this asap. Let's see the data.
