Today we’re going to talk about zinc and the coronavirus. Can zinc actually kill the coronavirus?

In one of my other videos, I talk about a drug called chloroquine. Chloroquine is a malaria drug. There have been derivatives of this drug used in other countries as a coronavirus treatment.

This specific drug acts as a zinc ionophore, which means it allows zinc to penetrate your cells. Once the zinc is inside of the cell, it can stop the replication of the virus.

There was a report done titled, “An effective treatment for coronavirus COVID-19.” The report summary explains that “chloroquine is showing favorable outcomes in humans infected with coronavirus including faster time to recovery and shorter hospital stays." It also “has strong potential as a prophylactic (preventative) measure in the lab, while we wait for a vaccine to be developed.”

There are some credible data that shows the relationship between chloroquine allowing zinc to kill the virus or at least inactivate the virus.
