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.

Lower risk for mortality, ventilation, hospitalization, progression, recovery, and viral clearance.

No treatment is 100% effective. Protocols combine treatments.

5,300+ studies for 116 treatments. c19early.org

In Silico and In Vitro study showing that ionic zinc inhibits SARS-CoV-2 main protease (M^pro) and inhibits viral replication.

Zinc acetate inhibited viral replication in Vero E6 cells, while zinc glycinate and zinc gluconate did not at non-toxic concentrations. The combination of zinc acetate with zinc ionophore quercetin significantly improved inhibition at low concentrations.

10 preclinical studies support the efficacy of zinc for COVID-19:

5 In Silico studies1-5

4 In Vitro studies3,6-8

1 In Vivo animal study3
