68 yo case study here FWIW. So far, no ro. Will not be jabbed. Have been taking NAC, niacin & VD3 regularly, added quercitin & zinc earlier this year. Fairly healthy, slightly overweight. Taking zero prescription drugs. Diet usually low carb, meat & veggies. Lived in CO last 15 yrs, now in SC. I don’t always drink beer, but when I do, it’s usually an IPA.
Sounds pretty much like me, except I consistently drink beer (IPA-style ale) -- made in our basement for about $4.00/gallon from liquid malt and hops -- and do like the occasional potato, cookeed dried bean, and piece of bread. Haven't reported it yet, but I've read that craft(?) beer drinkers on average have 30% higher level of B-vitamins in their tissues than non-beer drinkers -- including niacin. The source of the B-vitamins is reportedly
That would work -- if it is the yeast, that is. Brewer's yeast is pretty bitter tasting, however, if I remember correctly. Does have a lot of zinc in it (https://supplements.selfdecode.com/blog/brewers-yeast-benefits/), and that could be one of the reasons craft beer drinking was apparently beneficial during the pre-VAX days.
It would be interesting to see what the impact of COVID19 is on those working in and around Zn rich mining operations. We know for a fact that Miners and Geologists are also known to tip a pint every so often! Should theoretically be a pretty healthy bunch😉!
Seems like looking COVID19 mortality rates downwind of smelters processing zinc-rich sulfide ores could provide a good idea what the answer would be. I do wonder what the relative mortality rates are for miners and geologists, given their professionally-biased drinking preferences/
Sure, that's a given. However, if you look into the matter further you will find that miners as a group are much more highly paid than workers in most other industries -- it's a trade-off.
Except that organic zinc, bound to the substrate of the plants, may not be the same as inorganic zinc that is mined. Ditto for iron, copper, and other minerals.

Great research, thanks!

the yeast used to make the brewed beer or ale.
Thanks for your note, TenSC.
If it's the yeast, could one consume brewer's yeast directly to receive the benefit (perhaps to avoid alcoholic consumption)?

as a group, miners are not all that healthy, with a special emphasis on lung disease from particulates

There's quinine in tonic water... gin and tonic...
Prefer rhum and tonic myself 😉🥃!
Should do the trick. Would be an interesting thing to study though.... really, like I'd want to know.
