Effective zinc lozenges with elderberry and vitamin C for targeted acute immune support and cold symptom relief.
Quantity: 30, Dose: 100mgFlavour: Honey LemonFlavour: Peppermint
These lozenges are well-regarded for their ability to support the immune system, particularly during the early stages of a cold or for soothing a sore throat. The combination of 5mg Zinc (as Zinc Gluconate), 60mg Vitamin C, and 12.5mg organic Black Elder extract provides a synergistic effect, as zinc lozenges are specifically recommended by nutritionists for their cold-shortening properties. While the elderberry dose is modest, its inclusion adds antioxidant and additional immune-modulating benefits. The product's main strength is acute immune response and general well-being during illness, rather than cardiovascular or broad anti-inflammatory support.
- Effective combination of Zinc, Vitamin C, and Elderberry for immune support.
- Lozenges provide direct contact for throat soothing and optimal zinc absorption.
- Good price per serving, offering great value for acute use.
- Widely reviewed positively for effectiveness in shortening colds.
- Lower elderberry dose compared to dedicated elderberry supplements.
- Not designed for significant long-term cardiovascular or broad anti-inflammatory benefits.
- Taking zinc lozenges on an empty stomach may cause nausea in some individuals.
- The listed form 'Liquid(s)' might be a data error, as these are typically solid lozenges for dissolving in the mouth.
