“…Physiological states are an important factor influencing Zn absorption and bioavailability, along with dietary promoters such as animal protein and low-molecular-weight organic compounds and dietary inhibitors such as phytate, serosal factors, and possibly interaction with essential (Fe and Ca) or toxic (Cd) metals. The demands of the mother’s tissues, the developing fetus, and a nursing infant may require an increase in fractional Zn absorption in humans [ 29 , 30 , 31 ].…”

Zinc is a powerful immunomodulatory trace element, and its deficiency in the body is closely associated with changes in immune functions and viral infections, including SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19. The creation of new forms of zinc delivery to target cells can make it possible to obtain smart chains of food ingredients. Recent evidence supports the idea that the optimal intake of zinc or bioactive compounds in appropriate supplements should be considered as part of a strategy to generate an immune response in the human body. Therefore, controlling the amount of this element in the diet is especially important for populations at risk of zinc deficiency, who are more susceptible to the severe progression of viral infection and disease, such as COVID-19. Convergent approaches such as micro- and nano-encapsulation develop new ways to treat zinc deficiency and make zinc more bioavailable.
