The importance these elements, such as Zinc (Zn), Magnesium (Mg), and Copper (Cu), have structural, protective, and immune roles. Most of them participate in many enzymatic reactions, so they are of crucial importance. During the COVID-19 pandemic. Coronavirus invades the body by binding to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors which are expressed in many tissues and organs, such as the FRT.
