It’s been a hot supplement since Covid-19 started and that is because zinc help block virus replication when taken early. Most treatment plans for a Covid-19 include Zinc and while it’s not a cure it’s definitely worth taking! There are numerous studies that show that starting Zinc when you start to feeling the symptoms of a cold can help shorten the durations and severity.

So what exactly is Zinc and should everyone be taking it? Zinc is a trace element that is necessary for proper immune function, and our only source of zinc is from our diet (or thru supplementation). The best food sources of zinc is nuts, animal meat, beans, fish and seafood. Zinc’s “most known use” is for shortening the duration of a cold, but it also is important for learning & memory and wound healing.

While Zinc May be hard to find today In your pharmacy, I like these Zinc Capsules

And always remember food first then supplements, so do your best to incorporate foods high in zinc into your diet.
