Sambucus Zinc Lozenges
Zinc is an essential mineral, essential for both cell growth and metabolism as well as mounting an immune response. Studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of zinc lozenges or syrup in shortening cold and flu symptoms by blocking viruses from binding with our own cells – their secret is in their slow release into mouth and throat – tablets, capsules or liquid forms may all work, but lozenges are an especially convenient way of quickly getting zinc into our bloodstreams.
Beginning in 1940 with a 3-year-old girl suffering from sore throat symptoms, George Eby conducted the first double-blind placebo controlled trials using zinc lozenges with 207 mg of elemental zinc content to see if they would shorten cold symptoms significantly.
Five successive trials of lozenges for treating common cold symptoms showed similar results: each reduced its length by around 33%. All five studies were well designed and rigorously conducted; two used zinc acetate while others employed zinc gluconate; however there was no discernible difference in effect between them; however acetate trials provided higher dosages than their gluconate counterparts.

No doubt this news is positive, yet it’s essential that readers fully comprehend how this study works before diving in with both feet.

Zicam also offers nasal products and children’s syrups designed to ease sore throats.
Zinc can be found in many foods and is essential to good health. Studies suggest it can assist the immune system by blocking rhinoviruses that cause colds from getting inside cells; laboratory experiments have demonstrated this connection. While it remains uncertain whether zinc is beneficial when someone already has a cold, studies suggest it could reduce how long they feel sick by one or two days.
As part of your effort to avoid colds, it’s essential that you regularly wash your hands and avoid people who are sick. Being around someone with a cold can expose you to their germs which could subsequently touch your nose or mouth and infect you. Furthermore, try not to touch your face with dirty fingers as this could aggravate symptoms further and worsen them further.

However, oral Zicam products should not be consumed during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to insufficient studies proving its safety for these situations.

There is no definitive proof that zinc helps prevent or treat colds, but it can certainly boost immunity. To strengthen your defenses and boost immunity naturally, consume foods rich in zinc such as oysters, fish, nuts, beans and chocolate; or consider taking a zinc supplement.
Homeopathic Zicam products, like throat drops, work by adhering to the theory of “like cures like.” By using highly diluted amounts of ingredients that cause symptoms directly or indirectly related to an issue at hand, homeopathy provides an alternative approach for relieving symptoms without going under regulation by FDA and is subject to limited research.
Homeopathic products have received support in numerous studies; however, their efficacy is unproven by scientific evidence or FDA approval; nevertheless they may still be worth exploring as alternatives.
These honey and natural ingredient-flavored throat drops help soothe coughs and sore throats without artificial colors or flavors, gluten-, dairy- and nut-free products for adults as well as kids over age 12. They’re suitable for adults as well as kids over age 12.
No evidence supports nasal Zicam products can shorten the duration of colds or flus, though they do help relieve allergy and sinus symptoms. Up until recently, Zicam nasal sprays and swabs containing zinc were produced; however due to concerns that zinc caused people to lose their sense of smell they have since been discontinued from production and their ingredients switched out for plant-based alternatives due to serious side effects risk.
Zinc lozenges and sprays may offer temporary relief from cold symptoms, but they won’t prevent their development or make you less sick when already sick. To best safeguard against colds, practice immune-boosting habits such as getting plenty of sleep, engaging in physical activity regularly, and eating healthily every day.
