Just eating a somewhat healthy diet provides all the zinc a person needs...it doesn't even have to be that healthy to get enough of this mineral. Minerals aren't like vitamins...they actually can easily become toxic in small doses. And most people have liver issues already from things like diabetes and steroids but not actually feeling ill effects. (Except for the diabetics)
Alcoholism is another problem...
Eat the fruits and vegetables and meats and avoid the supliments. You will come out much better financially and health wise.
Actually, the form of zinc that was clinically tested was zinc gluconate (used in ColdEeze). If applied to the mucous membranes (in the throat and sinuses) where the virus enters the body, the virus can be nipped in the bud--prevented from multiplying throughout the body. Like I said before, this was specifically tested against a coronavirus....
I've been using a throat spray containing zinc gluconate for many years, and I rarely even get a cold, muchness the flu. You may want to look into using it and see if it's right for you.
Edit: Zinc gluconate was tested on the common cold (a coronavirus). You can read about the clinical trials of zinc gluconate here: https://www.coldeeze.com/-/media/co...-clinic-annals-of-internal-medicine.pdf?la=en
