ZINC BLOCKS VIRAL REPLICATION

Zinc has a history of therapeutic use against viruses and bacteria, strengthening the human immune response.

Dr. Ian Tullberg the medical director of UCHealth Medical Group Urgent Care has said that, according to scientific studies,“there’s good evidence that oral zinc works well,” in helping people get over common colds. Many common colds are caused by coronaviruses. With respect to the specific coronavirus that is causing the current pandemic, “the problem is that this is still so early that we don’t have the knowledge if it works or not,” Tullberg said. “However, zinc is something that will not hurt you, and there may be some benefit.”

RNA viruses, including poliovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, picornaviruses, influenza virus, and coronavirus can apparently all be stopped at the cellular level by increasing the intracellular concentration of zinc. Medical researchers from the Molecular Virology Laboratory, Department of Medical Microbiology, Center of Infectious Diseases, Leiden University Medical Center, in the Netherlands explain that the replication of all these viruses can be stopped when zinc concentrations force a correction of proteolytic processing of viral polyproteins.

The researchers proved that increased intracellular zinc impairs the replication of RNA viruses, severely inhibiting the replication of equine arteritis virus (EAV) and SARS-coronavirus (SARS-CoV) in cells. The two viruses share a core enzyme needed for multi-protein replication that is easy to block using zinc.
