Hi, How are you?
In this week’s issue, we would like to provide information that Zinc, an element of Zinc Oxide provided as UV filter by Sunjin, can have a positive effect on the treatment of COVID-19.
Zinc is an essential micronutrient for human metabolism and is known to modulate antiviral and antibacterial immunity and regulate inflammatory response.
According to recent papers, Zinc is considered to have a protective effect as adjuvant therapy of COVID-19 through reducing lung inflammation, modulation of antibacterial and antiviral immunity especially in the elderly. Further studies are still needed.
Zinc Oxide, which has Zinc as an element, is manufactured as a physical UV filter at Sunjin, so we ask for your continued interest and support.
