This is all very, very speculative (and it is not even clear that zinc makes one iota of a difference) but based upon the fact that the research was done based on intracellular zinc concentrations, as zinc was shown to inhibit the replication enzymes for the virus (which happens within cells). On that basis, I think systemic zinc as part of a multivitamin, is probably not going to be less effective than a zinc lozenge.

But again, all of this is very speculative.
