I've been reading a lot about Zinc and Vitamin C to help prevent or take while infected.I'm not BH, but would like to prepare and prevent hopefully.
I have Vit. C at home, but which Zinc is good to take and how much? Any vitamin savvy ladies here that could give me advice.
thank you

Is zinc an immune boosters? If so, shouldn't it be avoided?

Boosting your immune system is a good thing.
Cytokine storm, when your immune system goes haywire and ends up causing more damage, is so severe that presence or absence of immune system boosters is likely irrelevant.
Interestingly, Vitamin C, which is an antioxidant, seems to provide some benefit, but treating the cytokine storm directly is still necessary. There are tests for it, serum ferritin I believe is the gold standard. And cytokine storm is what makes many flu variants etc. so deadly.

Also make sure to take vitamin D supplements. We are all deficient in the northern hemisphere, and it help prevent and fight colds and viruses.

Any vitamin C is better than none. But be aware that 1000 mg is NOTHING when it comes to a virus. OK, not nothing, but you won't see results until you take A LOT more than that.

Till your body tells you it's enough (you start feeling gassy = you've reached your tolerance level and should start taking less each time).
Likely to be AT LEAST 10,000 mg and up to 50,000 or 100,000 mg per day.
I use sodium ascorbate powder (very cheap, CRC says it doesn't need a hechsher - it's a common food ingredient, and it is buffered so it's not so harsh on your stomach), and take it by the half teaspoon (that's about 2200 mg), and can take another dose every half hour to every hour for quite a while until I see results for a bad cold.
But if I take that much on a regular day, I'll be in the bathroom pretty quickly... your body really uses a lot more of it when you are sick.

You should take zinc lozenges and suck on them. Capsules aren’t good as The zinc needs to touch your throat directly.
