I, (personally) take Pico Zinc from RNAreset.com as their products are easily absorbed. I took other products for years with no effect. (When taking my zinc, I need to make sure I have eaten or I get nausea from the zinc. Always been that way with taking zinc for me but I have read that I am not the only one.)

Using Zinc for Loss of Taste and Smell

Zinc and Stem Cells in Nose and Mouth
Olfactory (nasal) cells communicate to brain and nervous system receptor cells about what we breathe. Taste bud receptors on the tongue perform similar duties, telling the brain if the “food” is possibly acceptable (not a blatant poison) and how it tastes.

These receptor cells are short-lived. Stem Cells hover nearby to replace them.
Here’s where Zinc comes in – it helps Stem Cells replicate used, aged or damaged receptor cells in the nose and mouth.

Covid Damage to Oral and Nasal Epithelial Cells
Why do we get swabbed in the nose? The virus tends to inhabit and damage nasal receptor cells.

I could not find good studies on this, but most likely the infection damage of nasal and oral cells is too high for Zinc and Stem Cells to keep up, causing the loss of taste and smell.

Can Zinc Help Recover Covid Loss Of Taste and Smell?
Again, I can’t find studies, but I recommend my Clients take Zinc for its role in improving immune function, and now additionally to help recover taste and smell loss from colds, flu or other viruses. BUT: READ DOSAGE INFO below before you start extra Zinc…

Taking Zinc Affects Iron and Copper too
Like all supplements, understand WHAT you are taking and why. DO NOT TAKE EXCESS ZINC long-term.

Say this again:

Do NOT take HIGH doses of Zinc long-term. Why? Zinc, Iron and Copper form a triangle. Change one and you change the others. If you are a woman with heavy monthly cycles, you may already be borderline Iron anemic. Zinc can bind Iron. It’s OK to take high Zinc if EXPOSED to Covid or at first sign you are ill. Don’t take Iron during this time. SEE AMOUNTS BELOW.

Zinc Dosage for WomenA bottle of Zinc ready to take for loss of taste and smell
Women can safely take 15 mg. Zinc daily long-term. If you are exposed or become ill, increase to 25 – 50 mg. daily with food. Take Zinc AWAY from Iron and Copper if possible. The TYPE of Zinc you choose is important. Zinc Oxide has poor bioavailability. I prefer this BisGlycinate (it’s in the Online Store now).

After 2 weeks on the higher dose, if recovering well, go back to 15 – 20 mg. daily for a few months. If not recovering well, stay at 40 – 50 for another month and re-evaluate. Remember that Zinc is essential for Immune Function too.

CHILDREN: half doses Young children, less.

Zinc Dosage for Males
Adult men can safely take 30 – 50 mg. Zinc regularly long-term. If ill or suspecting exposure, increase for 2 weeks to 75 – 100 before dropping back. Or, as for women, stay high a little longer.

Do NOT take 100 mg. Zinc long-term, especially if you are an athlete or heavy exerciser (They tend to be low on Iron. Check Ferritin levels annually. See my articles on Ferritin).

CHILDREN: half doses. Young children, less.

Zinc deficiency is a widespread concern for people around the world – nearly 1 in 3 individuals may be deficient. Because the signs of a zinc deficiency mimic those of other common disorders, it’s often overlooked.

Even if you’re getting enough zinc in your diet, certain conditions can keep you from absorbing and utilizing this vital mineral. Stress, pregnancy, eating a vegetarian diet or one that’s high in grains, legumes, seeds, and nuts, and simply being over 60 puts you at a higher risk of being deficient.
