We explored the connection between zinc levels and chronic rhinosinusitis, particularly focusing on patients with nasal polyps. The study involved 105 participants divided into three groups: those with eosinophilic polyps, those with neutrophilic polyps, and a control group of individuals who underwent surgery for reasons other than polyposis.
We measured the serum zinc concentrations in these groups to see if there were any significant differences. Our findings revealed that patients suffering from chronic rhinosinusitis and having neutrophilic polyps had notably lower zinc levels compared to the general population. However, the zinc levels in patients with eosinophilic polyps did not show a significant difference when compared to healthy controls.
While we saw a clear distinction in zinc levels between the neutrophilic group and the control group, the overall data suggests that zinc's role in sinusitis, especially for those with eosinophilic polyps, may not be as pronounced. As such, while zinc might contribute to inflammation in specific cases, its effectiveness as a standalone treatment for sinusitis remains uncertain.

It helped with my long-standing sinusitis. I've been taking one zinc pill daily and haven't caught a cold in four years. I initially misunderstood the zinc requirement, assuming one pill wasn't sufficient, so I took two. To my surprise, my morning stuffy nose from sinusitis disappeared. Being able to breathe through my nose improved my sleep significantly. Although my allergies and hay fever have improved after two years of molecular nutrition, my sinusitis lingered. Thankfully, my inflammatory constitution has improved considerably. I will continue taking zinc while monitoring my symptoms and being cautious about dosage. Zinc is fantastic!

Sense of smell recovered
It was a great help and is a convenient product. My sense of smell ceased functioning due to sinusitis, and after a hospital visit, where I was treated with antibiotics, I had to purchase zinc myself as they didn't prescribe it. I take it regularly each day and feel I've recovered somewhat. I realise too much zinc may not be good, so I plan to reduce my intake to one tablet every two days once my sense of smell returns.

Improved sense of smell
My husband suffers from severe sinusitis and has a poor sense of smell. I learned that propolis and zinc together are effective, so I ordered it. After just one day of use, he began to sense smells more. Consistency in taking it is essential.

Reduced sinusitis frequency
I began taking zinc for hair loss and brittle nails. Initially, I tried zinc picolinate, then switched to this zinc. My nails and hair improved, and it has also bolstered my immunity. Consequently, I've experienced fewer acute respiratory infections and sinusitis episodes.
