Description

Zinc is well know for its immune boosting properties.

Zinc deficiency is linked to higher incidence of bacterial infections such as Streptococcus, so supplementation can help prevent or reduce bacterial infection. 1

Zinc is found to stimulate production of IL-2 and induces a shift from Th2 to Th1 response. 2

A higher Th1 response is linked to better remission of HSV. 3 Topical zinc may be effective in preventing transmission of HSV. 2
