Zinc Ionophores: Boosting Zinc’s Antiviral Power

Zinc Ionophores: Boosting Zinc’s Antiviral Power Zinc is a vital mineral that supports your immune system and may help fight viruses by stopping them from multiplying in your cells. However, zinc needs help getting inside cells to work its magic. That’s where zinc ionophores come in—they act like taxis that shuttle zinc across cell membranes, increasing its antiviral effects. This post explores what zinc ionophores are, how they work with zinc to combat viruses, and where you can find them. Let’s dive into the basics! What Are Zinc Ionophores and How Do They Work?
