Post-infectious role of zinc and vitamin C in SARS-CoV-2

In a Letter to the Editor published in Clinical and Translational Medicine, earlier research conducted in the DORM study which sought to evaluate the efficacy of different therapeutics to prevent infection of SARS-CoV-2 in a sample of 4257 men was progressed.^1,2 The researchers offered an alternate hypothesis using a different subset of the population - when compared with the varying interventions of the DORM study, zinc + vitamin C would support the immune regulatory function and the production of anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike and neutralising antibodies, B- and T-cells in participants seropositive to SARS-CoV-2 infection.¹
