Solaray Zinc Copper Amino Acid Chelates – Item of the Day
Special Note – For the dot gov, I am MAKING NO HEALTH CLAIMS on this SUPPLEMENT. I am just telling you the logic behind why I chose it and why I take it. Do your own research and always check with your health care provider about any supplement or drug for risks, counter indications, etc.
Product Update – Rather than rewrite what I say below, because it all still stands I wanted to update how I use this product along with quercetin and others supplements now in 2022.
`
First on zinc and quercetin I now take 1 capsule of my chosen brand of quercetin a day, not the higher doses I did during CoVid’s peak. Additionally I hugely cut back my over all supplementation. I now take what are considered large and “dangerous” doses of D3 and K2, you can learn more about that on this episode of TSPC. I take a single good quality multi vitamin daily, supplemental magnesium and I use Sacred 7 Mushroom Powder.
`
This is all part of my personal health upside from CoVid. While I consider it the most over blown and literally fake threat to mankind in modern history, it did make me do a ton of research. I find the above regiment to be affordable, easy to maintain and to be a great way to improve health, immunity and natural resistance.
`
All my decisions are based on hard science and my own research, they should not be considered and are not medical advice. I will talk about this in episode #3089.
`
Also if you want all the info I have on D3 and K2 along with the 3 best books on these subjects, see this Episode of Miyagi Mornings.
Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend.
Today’s TSP Amazon Item of the day is Solaray Zinc Copper Amino Acid Chelates. I have always known that zinc is a vital mineral for human health and hence always made sure my multi vitamins have included a highly absorbable form or zinc. Then in 2020 when CoVid hit I did a lot of research about exactly what the science says about how zinc helps us with immune functions.
It turned out the primary way was by getting zinc into our cells. That when zinc is inside the cell our scientific research indicates that it slows the replication of many viruses and even some other things such as some types of cancer cells. The issue was even very absorbable zinc does a poor job of getting inside our cell walls. This led me to find quercetin as a natural ionophore for zinc, with proven scientific that it does in fact work as an ionophore. Meaning it opens a path way and gets zinc into the cell.
Quercetin is a commonly available health supplement and there are many good sources of it, I settled on this one, but any should be fine if made by a quality manufacturer. So the next step was find zinc for daily use. The recommendations I kept finding for immune boosting were 50mg per day. There were a ton of options of quality zinc, so I didn’t really worry much about brand.
Along the way an MD from the TSPC audience reached out and told me something I didn’t know. This fact is EASY to confirm but you generally don’t find it unless you specifically know to research it. Tons of medical sites run by professionals recommend zinc and leave this part out, you need to supplement copper if you daily supplement zinc. The reason is copper and zinc compete for absorption in the gut and copper is a necessary mineral for many functions in your body. So experts recommend for every 50mg of zinc you include 2mg of copper.
Given this is common medical knowledge I figured there’d be tons of options, there may be but on Amazon I only found one that was also a long known manufacturer of supplements. That one was of course Solaray Zinc Copper Amino Acid Chelates. I have now been using it for about 8 months and I am grateful to the Doctor that made me aware of the need for copper with zinc supplementation.
Again I am not making any health claims that this product will treat, cure or prevent a disease. What I am saying is that it is known science that zinc inside your cells reduces the replication of many viruses, specifically those that are mRNA based such as CoVid-SARs-2 and variants there of. I am also stating that it is known science that an ionophore such as quercetin is needed even when supplementing zinc to get it inside the cell walls. Lastly that when supplementing zinc daily the science says you should also supplement copper. And further that research has shown that zinc inside the cell has even impeded the replication of certain types of cancer cells.
From that point I invite you to do your own research and make your own decisions. Then if you decide you want to supplement zinc, I do think you should put Solaray Zinc Copper Amino Acid Chelates at the top of your list for brands to consider.

Jack and the group,
That is a good product been using it since the 80’s. Actually Solaray makes my Quercetin too. I always had a health food store close by, well not now I’m in Missouri now, but I will drive for it, and yes sometimes order it from Amazon.

Oh Heck Yes, Jack. Sold. Thanks for sharing. I am getting my teens set up with daily vitamin boxes and this week we put in quercetin and zinc. Two pills. Next week I may add the Vitamin D. Don’t want to overwhelm them with supplements but we will all be a little stronger going into winter’s cold and flu season.
