Zinc is an essential mineral for your health, so be sure you have enough zinc to keep you safe and enjoy a long life

Your body needs a variety of micronutrients and zinc is one of them. Zinc is anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, antioxidant, neuroprotective, cardio-protective and an infection fighter.

(NaturalHealth365) As the novel coronavirus pandemic wears on, scientists and doctors around the world are racing around for an effective COVID-19 treatment, including big pharma sponsored ideas that have many people quite concerned. But, one potential treatment that’s garnered a lot of press recently is hydroxychloroquine.

Now, a new review in Advances in Nutrition highlights the ability of zinc to improve immune function, while acting against a wide variety of dangerous viruses including hepatitis C, HIV and more.
