Two days ago both DH and I had symptoms that we were getting colds--stuffy nose, sneezing, some coughing, etc. Normally it takes us a week or two to get over colds and usually mine goes into a sinus infection. I had recently read an article that reviewed cold remedies and it said that one of the few things that seems to work was zinc lozenges IF taken in the first 24 hours. I rushed out and bought some. For the next 24 hours DH and I took the maximum dose (6 zinc lozenges each). Today we both woke up feeling fine, no cold symptoms. It guess our symptoms could have been something else (like an allergy) but what ever it was the zinc sure knocked it out. YMMV
