It might make sense to cut the zinc back to between 25 and 35 mg. for regular use. Also, Zalenko uses 220mg. zinc for 5 days. Loss of taste and smell is now considered a symptom of Covid infection. Loss of taste and smell is also a sign of zinc deficiency.
The 10,000 IU of D might be unnecessarily high. My 6’1” son in Special Forces who suffers SAD in the winter was recently encouraged by his doctor to start taking 5000 IU of D per day. I have now increased my daily to that amount.
The 2000 mg. of C is good if you have a low stress life, but should be in divided doses since it is easily excreted. For over 45 years I have taken 3 to 6 grams a day depending on how my allergies are acting. Since I am allergic to house dust, cigarette smoke, cool weather molds, and ragweed, that is at least 6 months in the year. I take 1500 mg. in the morning and 1000 at bedtime. When my nose gets stuffed up during the day I take 500 mg. or more at 1/2 hour intervals until my nose is open again. On an allergy day this is usually 5 or 6 hours after I took my morning vitamins. Cheers, stay healthy!
Vit D blood level tests is readily available and cheap. Don’t self medicate it at either non productive levels or at overdose levels. Any Dr. you have a relationship with will order the test base upon a phone call, if you describe the right symptoms.

I agree. I take 25mg of zinc every day and 1,000 mg of vitamin C twice a day.
