"The reason it is being used to fight Covid19 is because it is a zinc ionophore, that means it increases the amount of zinc that gets into each cell.

As someone else commented in that same thread: "The only way we can endorse medical advice is from a qualified medical professional. Please do not take advice from posters on this sub as reliable.
Please discuss this with your doctor. They will be able to check the latest medical research on this and advise it if is suitable."
