The study, authored by Harri Hemilä, James T. Fitzgerald, Edward J. Petrus and Ananda Prasad, pursued a meta-analysis tracking of the recovery progress in human patients given either zinc acetate lozenges or placebo. They found a 300% faster recovery time among those who took zinc lozenges containing 80 - 92 mg/day.
Notably, this zinc dosage is almost 10 times higher than the U.S. government's recommended daily intake of just 11 mg/day for men or 8 mg/day for women; a dosing level intentionally set to ensure that zinc deficiencies persist across the population.
Achieving the accelerated recovery documented in this study requires three things:
- Using the high dose of zinc (80 - 92 mg/day) but no more than 100 mg/day.
- Using the right form of zinc. For this study, zinc acetate was used.
- Avoiding other ingredients that may bind with zinc ions, such as citric acid.
As Science Daily warns, "the findings of this meta-analysis should not be directly extrapolated to the wide variety of zinc lozenges on the current market."
To help explain this finding while sharing some inspiration about healing nutrients that can prevent, treat and cure disease, I've recorded the following Health Ranger Science video from a state park in Texas:

Mike Adams (aka the "Health Ranger") is the founding editor of NaturalNews.com, a best selling author (#1 best selling science book on Amazon.com called "Food Forensics"), an environmental scientist, a patent holder for a cesium radioactive isotope elimination invention, a multiple award winner for outstanding journalism, a science news publisher and influential commentator on topics ranging from science and medicine to culture and politics.
Mike Adams also serves as the lab science director of an internationally accredited (ISO 17025) analytical laboratory known as CWC Labs. There, he was awarded a Certificate of Excellence for achieving extremely high accuracy in the analysis of toxic elements in unknown water samples using ICP-MS instrumentation.
In his laboratory research, Adams has made numerous food safety breakthroughs such as revealing rice protein products imported from Asia to be contaminated with toxic heavy metals like lead, cadmium and tungsten. Adams was the first food science researcher to document high levels of tungsten in superfoods. He also discovered over 11 ppm lead in imported mangosteen powder, and led an industry-wide voluntary agreement to limit heavy metals in rice protein products.
Adams has also helped defend the rights of home gardeners and protect the medical freedom rights of parents. Adams is widely recognized to have made a remarkable global impact on issues like GMOs, vaccines, nutrition therapies, human consciousness.
