zinc lozenges
Cold-fighting tablets
Zinc lozenges are medicated tablets designed to dissolve slowly in the mouth, delivering zinc to treat or shorten the duration of cold symptoms.
Unlike swallowed supplements, the lozenge form allows zinc to coat the throat and nasal passages: I started taking zinc lozenges at the first sign of a sore throat.
Their effectiveness remains debated among researchers.
