The supplement recommendations are folly. Medicine has not shown they work.

The “zinc levels” thing is BS and dangerous.
Zinc most likely has no effect on a cold. There are no good studies of it, because zinc tablets have a distinctive taste, so effective placebos cannot be made. Therefore there is no double blind high quality evidence for zinc. And in fact, when high quality studies have been done, they tend to show much much smaller effects.

Please. Stick to actual medical advice. Separate the home remedy speculation into another thread.

What about Vitamin D?

You can take too much and the negative after effects are not even obvious until weeks and weeks later. Be careful!

Looks very much like a scam product. And that OP is benefiting from posting that link.

There is a woman in my town (not the DMV) who is doing Facebook Live sessions to talk about her DH home recovery from COVID-19. Basically, she says that the only real thing to do besides keeping his temp under control is hydration. Hardcore on the hydration. And since he's quarantined in a separate part of the house and she's not allowed to touch him or even really go near him, he has do to that himself.

Drink up, folks.
