This is not going to change anytime soon. No one really cares about staying alive; climate change, diet, COVID. And COVID is now endemic and a pandemic.
So either quit your job or learn about staying healthy when exposed to viruses that deplete zinc and other nutrients.
Zinc deficiency lowers Tertrahydrobiopterin, which lowers coupled NOS, which lowers your immune system (NOS2) and gives you hypertension (NOS3) and makes you mental (NOS1). The Lower zinc also gives you diabetes. PubMed links for anyone who cares, but you probably don't.
- stuaxo 4y agoPlease post the links, I feel like I live i a weird opposites world, where in the sane world we would have dealt with Covid by now, and have sorted out clean air in our public spaces (and to some extent homes too).
- FollowingTheDao 4y agoEDITIED TO ADD: Before taking Zinc get your Serum Zinc and RBC Zinc levels tested. Easy to do in the US if you have some money. Also get your Serum Copper and Ceruloplasmin tested since taking zinc at high dose for a while will lower copper since zinc creates Metallothioneins that capture the copper in the intestine before it can be absorbed. -- Hey, thanks for being curious!
