Description: Cough, cough. Sniffle, sniffle. Ahhhhh-choooooo! Anybody have a tissue? The common cold is one of the most frequent human illnesses and is responsible for high economic loss to both employee and employer due to considerable time-off. While there is no ?cure? for the common cold, there is evidence that suggests zinc may help shorten the duration of your cold. Zinc Lozenges, with a honey peppermint flavor, from Olympian Labs contain soothing slippery elm bark and natural flavors to help you through cold and allergy seasons.Zinc Facts:Zinc is a trace mineral that is essential for our body. It is found in muscle, our bones, skin, liver, pancreas, and other organs. Next to iron, it the most available trace mineral in the human body. Zinc helps boost immunity, repair wounds, maintain fertility, synthesize protein, helps cells reproduce, and preserves vision. More than 300 enzymes in the body need zinc in order to function properly. A deficiency of zinc may impair the body's immunity and immune function.Life Without ZincSo, what happens to the body when it has a zinc deficiency? Some people do, in fact, have a hereditary zinc deficiency. These people tend to have reduced T cell production (all white blood cell function deteriorates). An increase in the number and frequency of infections results. These symptoms are reversible when adequate zinc is taken. Other problems resulting from zinc deficiency include impaired protein synthesis and energy production, poor collagen formation, poor alcohol tolerance, loss of taste and smell, and many pregnancy related problems. Zinc is not only necessary for healthy functioning of your body, but by bolstering the immune response, supplementation of zinc definitely reduces cold and flu symptom severity and duration. Take your zinc!How does it work?No one knows for sure but there are a number of theories. The zinc molecule itself is the same size and shape of binding sites on our cells where rhinoviruses (the virus responsible for colds) can attach and cause infections. Other studies suggest zinc prevents replication of cold viruses, preventing them from growing.Zinc Lozenges from Olympian Labs can help you through tough cold seasons as well as relieve symptoms from allergies. Zinc lozenges are most effective if taken immediately after the outbreak of symptoms, ideally within 24 hours. Then it is recommended that a lozenge be taken every two hours while awake for maximal efficacy. Zinc has been shown to reduce the average duration of colds by 7 days and to reduce the severity of all cold symptoms to the point that very few people have cold symptoms of any type after the third day. As with all medicines, you should let your doctor know that you are taking zinc supplements. While nothing can cure the common cold, Zinc Lozenges from Olympian labs can ease your sniffles and coughs.
