Zinc Defence Lozenges | 45 Lozenges

I often find zinc lozenges make me feel nauseous. Even though this one may taste a tad chalky - which I do not mind at all - it has a pleasant mint taste, always helps my throat feel better and contains a high amount of zinc. I never get nauseous after-effects from letting one dissolve in my mouth. i believe it is value for money. A+

Not a pleasant taste but they seem to work when used at the first sign of a cold or sore throat. So far so good.

There's good evidence that zinc significantly reduces symptoms and duration of the common cold, but only if certain criteria are met:1) Must be lozenges, so the virusses in the throat area can be targeted effectively3) Must contain a high dose, so that 75mg+ of zinc per day are taken2) The zinc must be in a certain form, either gluconate, or better, zinc acetate. Other compounds dont work!4) Compounds that bind zinc ions must not be present.This supplement is the *only* one I found on amazon that fulfills these criteria (except criterion 4, which I can't judge due to lack of chemistry knowledge). It even has zinc acetate, which is better than gluconate.I also like that the manufacturer seems to be aware of the research, judging by the text and instructions on the package. This might seem like something to be expected, but looking at other supplements (even lozenges), it is not common.TASTE: surprisingly good, I expected it to taste bad.This product seems a bit expensive for what it offers, but it's definitely worth it, and as long as there's no good alternative, I'm giving it 5 stars.

These do have a slightly minty taste but they are like eating chalk.Horrible.As you suck them, little pieces come away from the lozenge and tickle the throat which makes you cough.Not soothing at all.Really not nice.Stick to taking a zinc tablet at the first sign of a cold and buy a lozenges with a texture that actually soothes rather than irritates.

Palatable but do not no if it works

Very good

Well being

Have a really unpleasant after taste
