inhibits. Zinc induces intestinal metallothionein which traps copper; >40mg zinc daily causes copper deficiency
competes. Compete for DMT1 transporter in non-heme absorption; zinc inhibits iron uptake when taken together
competes. High-dose calcium may slightly reduce zinc absorption
synergistic. Zinc required for vitamin D receptor (VDR) function; D upregulates zinc transporters
synergistic. Quercetin acts as zinc ionophore, shuttling zinc into cells where it inhibits viral replication
