There have been reports of Zinc being used in conjunction with other medications to address C19.
- bitwize 6y agoI've been using zinc suckies as a form of prophylaxis against respiratory viruses for a while now. There's actually some research that suggests it's effective at preventing cold virus particles from attaching to and invading the throat, so it doesn't surprise me that it would also be effective against COVID-19 (which is kind of a super-Saiyan cold virus).
- spookybones 6y agoHow often do you take them? I have some that advise to stop using after seven days, which leaves me wondering whether I should take them as a precaution or take them if I feel any early indicators of a virus. Also, I notice that they dry out my tongue.
- georgeam 6y agoDo you mind sharing how many mg (milligrams) of zinc are in the one you have which advises to limit use to 7 days? I noticed that the Mayo clinic site says the maximum dose per day for an adult is 40 mg. I'm curious whether this 40 mg is safe for indefinite use, or such a 40 mg limit would also be for a maximum of 7 days.
