**Zinc - Stop Virus Replication, Inhibit Growth**
"COVID-19 pandemic. It is vital for healthy immune function2 and a combination of zinc with a zinc ionophore (zinc transport molecule) was in 2010 shown to inhibit SARS coronavirus in vitro. In cell culture, it also blocked viral replication within minutes."

"Studies show that zinc can block the replication and growth of viruses in the body and in lab tests."

**Zinc Ionophores - Pushes Zinc Into Cells**
"Increasing the intracellular Zn2+ concentration with zinc-ionophores like pyrithione (PT) can efficiently impair the replication of a variety of RNA viruses"

"Facilitating Zinc Entry Into Cells Is a Crucial Component
Importantly, zinc alone is not capable of fully stopping viral replication, Sardi notes. The reason for this is because zinc is largely insoluble and cannot easily enter through the fatty wall of your cells. Getting all the way into the cell is crucial, as this is where the viral replication occurs."

**Copper - Spike, Envelope, RNA**
"Schmidt explained that the copper dents the crown-shaped virus and then slowly releases ions that interact with oxygen and generate free radicals, or uncharged molecules that typically are highly reactive."

"deliver toxic copper to the virus’s spike proteins, it could be rendered inoperable."
https://research.arizona.edu/stories/could-copper-disable-virus-behind-covid-19
“Exposure to copper destroyed the viral genomes and irreversibly affected virus morphology, including disintegration of envelope and dispersal of surface spikes.”

"copper ions. Those ions penetrate cells and viruses like bullets. The copper doesn’t just kill these pathogens; it destroys them, right down to the nucleic acids, or reproductive blueprints, inside."

**Silver - Kills Bacteria & Virus Similar To Copper**
"Silver ions perform their deadly work by punching holes in bacterial membranes and wreaking havoc once inside. They bind to essential cell components like DNA, preventing the bacteria from performing even their most basic functions."
https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2015/05/silver-turns-bacteria-deadly-zombies
"Doctor Larry C. Ford documented over 650 different disease-causing pathogens that were destroyed in minutes when exposed to small amounts of silver"

**Monolaurin - Stops Virus From Attaching To Cells & Removes Lipid Shell**
"Monolaurin is known to inactivate lipid-coated viruses by binding to the lipid-protein envelope of the virus, thereby preventing it from attaching and entering host cells, making infection and replication impossible."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monolaurin
"The antiviral action, attributed to monolaurin (the monoglyceride of lauric acid), is that of solubilizing the lipids and phospholipids in the envelope of the pathogenic organisms causing the disintegration of their outer membrane."

**Vitamin A - Antioxidant**
"Vitamin A also has antioxidant properties. Antioxidants are substances that might protect your cells against the effects of free radicals"
https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements-vitamin-a/art-20365945
"The main antioxidants that help regulate free radicals in your body are the vitamins A, C, and E and the mineral selenium."

**Vitamin C - Antioxidant**
"In addition to its role as an antioxidant, vitamin C may help to revive other antioxidants, such as vitamin E. A study published in the February 2006 issue of "Free Radical Biology and Medicine" examined cigarette smokers, who have high levels of oxidative stress, which causes vitamin E to be quickly depleted in their bodies. However, the study found that vitamin C helped to elongate the amount of time vitamin E stayed in the body and therefore increased antioxidant activity of vitamin E."
https://healthyeating.sfgate.com/can-vitamin-c-reduce-radicals-8693.html
"As much as 1000 milligrams of vitamin C can be used in an hour when the body is fighting illness."

**Vitiman E - Antioxidant**
"Vitamin E is an antioxidant. It may help protect your cells from damage."
