Zinc for mood: C → C

Source correction by Claude (b2 garbage-source correction): replaced an off-topic search-fallback source (published before the pump's topicality gate existed) with a real, on-topic paper (PMID 32829928, "Zinc in depression: From development to treatment: A comparative/ dose response meta-analysis of observational studies and randomized controlled trials."). Verdict/grade unchanged; only the provenance was wrong.
