Zinc for COVID-19
2nd treatment shown to reduce risk in July 2020, now with p = 0.00000032 from 46 studies, recognized in 17 countries.
No treatment is 100% effective. Protocols combine treatments.
5,100+ studies for 110 treatments. c19early.org
Case control study with 199 COVID-19 cases and 447 controls in Switzerland, showing lower zinc levels associated with higher SARS-CoV-2 IgG and IgA seropositivity.
Equey et al., 18 Apr 2023, Switzerland, peer-reviewed, 14 authors, study period 27 February, 2020 - 1 April, 2020. Contact: mette.berger@unil.ch.

This is a PDF file of an article that has undergone enhancements after acceptance, such as the addition of a cover page and metadata, and formatting for readability, but it is not yet the definitive version of record. This version will undergo additional copyediting, typesetting and review before it is published in its final form, but we are providing this version to give early visibility of the article. Please note that, during the production process, errors may be discovered which could affect the content, and all legal disclaimers that apply to the journal pertain.
