Zinc<\/a> remains a staple over-the-counter supplement for those looking for natural immune support. <\/p>\n And today, some of the best-selling capsules<\/a> on Amazon are marked down to just $7 during Prime Big Deal Days<\/a> (that\u2019s cheaper than your pumpkin spice latte; just saying).<\/p>\n Even the president has made the humble trace mineral part of his cold-fighting routine<\/a>. <\/p>\n Back in 2020, during his bout with Coronavirus, President Trump tried some cutting-edge treatments, but he also relied on a few common supplements. Dr. Sean Conley released a memorandum<\/a> noting that \u201cthe President has been taking zinc, vitamin D, famotidine, melatonin and a daily aspirin.\u201d<\/p>\n Nature\u2019s Bounty Zinc<\/a> delivers a solid 50 mg dose of zinc, which is said to help boost your immune defenses<\/a>, support healthy skin, and even keep your sense of taste and smell sharp.<\/p>\n Users have reported that the tasteless, easy-to-swallow capsules are gentle on the stomach and a reliable boost for everyday immune support. One reviewer has described them as \u201ceffective, affordable, and convenient,\u201d and several others have noted a positive impact on their overall well-being.<\/p>\n The brand has claimed that its products are backed by over 50 years of scientific research, and the Zinc formula is gluten-free, sugar-free, and contains no artificial flavors or sweeteners. <\/p>\n While there is no established link between zinc and protection against COVID-19,\u00a0an analysis\u00a0<\/a>from 2020 suggested that zinc supplementation potentially shortened the duration of the common cold by approximately 2.25 days in healthy adults.<\/p>\n Trump isn\u2019t the only one backing this medicine-cabinet staple. RFK Jr., who currently serves as the Secretary of Health and Human Services, has also promoted zinc<\/a> as a key ingredient in his three-part COVID cure protocol, which he once claimed could have a curative effect of \u201cmaybe 80 or 90%.\u201d<\/p>\n But it\u2019s not just political figures reaching for their zinc bottles<\/a>; everyday shoppers are snagging some too, including a few sniffle-paranoid members of the Post Wanted team. In fact, over the past month alone, more than 50,000 units of Nature\u2019s Made Zinc capsules<\/a> have sold on Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n As with any supplement, users should always consult their physician before use. Excessive zinc intake, or zinc toxicity, can lead to serious side effects<\/a> such as nausea, vomiting, as well as flu-like symptoms, including fever, chills, or fatigue.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t get left in the cold \u2014 or with a cold \u2014 snag Zinc for just $7 during October Prime Day<\/a>, before these best-selling capsuls run out of stock.<\/p>\n Your Prime Big Deal Days FAQs, answered<\/p>\n What is Prime Big Deal Days?<\/p>\n This annual Amazon sale \u2014 which we like to call October Prime Day \u2014 is similar to the well-known July event: it\u2019s a two-day blow out shopping event with deep discounts on bestsellers and everyday essentials.
