Loss of smell with Covid. You think certain people’s bodies process zinc differently that it causes people with Covid to lose their sense of smell and taste? ZICAM was taken off the market and there was a big lawsuit. ZICAM obviously worked and everything I’m reading shows how it came under attack. What does the body do with zinc that causes people with Covid to lose their smell? Are they fighting it better utilizing zinc or in need of more?
“The mechanism responsible for these alterations in smell function is the active ingredient in Zicam, which is zinc.gluconate. While zinc is critical for maintenance of normal smell function through its action as a cofactor in carbonic anhydrase VI, when administered directly into the nostrils at high concentrations, it can initiate direct toxic destruction of the olfactory epithelium with which it comes into contact in its spray form.”
