Careful with zinc. You should take in conjunction with copper.

****************************

Safety and side effects

Oral zinc can cause:

Indigestion
Diarrhea
Headache
Nausea
Vomiting

When oral zinc is taken long term and in high doses it can cause copper deficiency. People with low copper levels might experience neurological issues, such as numbness and weakness in the arms and legs.

The National Institutes of Health considers 40 mg of zinc a day to be the upper limit dose for adults and 4 mg of zinc a day for infants under age 6 months.

Don’t use intranasal zinc. This form of zinc has been linked with the loss of the sense of smell.

The point of the Chloroquine is that it increases the effect of zinc so you don’t need high doses.

Chloroquine Is a Zinc Ionophore (Allows zinc to cross the cell barrier)
