Can trace minerals inactivate viruses?

Trace minerals are minerals that are not needed in large amounts. Minerals like calcium, potassium, and manganese are minerals you need in large amounts. You only need trace minerals like selenium, zinc, and copper are only needed in very small amounts.

Trace minerals have many different uses in the body. They primarily contribute to the formation of proteins and enzymes in the body.

The thyroid also needs selenium to convert T4 to T3.

Trace minerals can deactivate viruses and put them back into remission. They stop the reproduction of viruses. Viruses that cause congestion and a sore throat—such as rhinoviruses—can often be fought off with zinc.
