Will Zinc Boost Your Immune System and Protect From Covid or A Cold?

This season it may feel like everyone around you is sick. There are so many different viruses out there to avoid and it feels like every time you turn around someone is coming down with something - from the flu, COVID, Rhinovirus, Enterovirus and RSV (which you may just be learning about). It’s more than a tripledmeic.

A question I get asked a lot by my patients is if taking Zinc will help prevent them from getting sick or if it will make the duration of their sickness shorter. You may have noticed in the grocery store a growing number of products focused on zinc. From the wellness juice boosters that you see in the produce section, to zinc nose sprays, tinctures, lozenges, and supplements. But do they work to prevent sickness or boost your immune system? Watch now and find out.
