Zinc ionophores such as Chloroquin and quercetin transport zinc across cell membranes, increasing zinc density within cells by 100 fold. Zinc interrupts RNA replication within the cell.
By contrast, I take a 50mg zinc pill whenever I wake up with the dry/aching sinus/back of throat I’ve come to associate with getting a cold half a day later.
Lately, I’ve done this so early in the infection cycle that I’m often left uncertain as to whether I’ve even had a cold, at least until the snot starts a couple of days later. I’ve even combined this with DayQuil/NyQuil for two days as soon as the snot starts, resulting in effectively no downtime.

Daily intake of zinc tablets along with quercetin rich foodstuffs washed down with nice glass of red wine is the prophylactic for me.

Why would you take zinc tablet over lozenges? How much additional copper are you taking to make up for the additional zinc?
