Zinc activates thymus hormones, which is what you want for COVIDy infections
- Spod_Gaju 2y agoFrom the Fred Hutch Cancer Center https://www.fredhutch.org/en/news/center-news/2022/03/dudakov-zinc-thymus-regeneration.html https://www.fredhutch.org/en/news/center-news/2022/03/dudako... "There’s a long history linking zinc with optimal immune function. For example, it’s known that people whose zinc levels are too low have little to no infection-fighting T cells and the thymus, the organ in which T cells develop, is nearly non-existent, Iovino said. When zinc-deficient people are given extra zinc, their thymuses grow and start pumping out these immune cells."
