Immune Defence and Viral Treatments: Zinc

January 20, 2022 Leave a Comment

Zinc is a critical factor for antiviral immunity.

Zinc deficiency is incredibly common because our diets are often low in the foods that contain this mineral. Low stomach acid, which is also incredibly common, can make it difficult for us to replete zinc, so our poor diet paired with our digestive insufficiency means many of us will have low levels of zinc.


There is much robust research showing zincs role in immune function, the health of our respiratory epithelium (the mucous membranes of your airways) and its direct ANTIVIRAL properties.


Zinc is available in many different forms. These vary in quality, bioavailability and their ability to actually increase your zinc levels can be quite different, for my advise on the best type of zinc to suit your needs and the optimal dosage to prevent and treat viruses please book in for an appointment.


Foods naturally high in zinc include
Meat, of all kinds
Shellfish
Legumes – chickpeas, lentils
Seeds – pumpkin, hemp, flax, chia
Nuts – cashews, almonds
Eggs
Wholegrains – quinoa, buckwheat, oats
Dark Chocolate
