Are there studies which back this? Are we sure that reducing virus in solution will improve immune response? Has any study been conducted on the efficacy of zinc supplements when sick with covid?

Studies? Why? Why would a pharmaceutical company study zinc lozenges?

And it’s not to take it when you were sick, if you take it when you were sick it’s already too late. You have to take it at the very beginning of infection. It stops replication in the nasal pharyngeal passages.

Is the evidence? Yes.
