Well DU! what do they think Zicam is?
I don’t mess around with cold products that contain zinc...I buy bottles of zinc pills. Very effective....but I think Airborne was pulled, because there is a down side.
You want the cold "out"...drain those sinus'
The cough drops have Vit C now...worked great, tastes great, keeps everything moist and cheaper than buying Vit C.
I have one cold every 20 years...and my friends seem to do the same...maybe because we’re older???
Gently swab my ears and nose with Hydrogen Peroxide every 2-4 hours...works every time and I haven’t had a cold last for more than a day or two for 2+ years.
My favorite cold/flu remedy is the new Sambucus with zinc, echinea and elderberry :-)
Vitamin d and c every day will keep you from catching any viruses, but if you get worn down enough, and still start to feel a tickle or pain in the throat, like you are coming down with something, take zinc lozenges and 500 mg vitamin c 3-4 x in the 24 and hit the bed. Extra sleep, lots of it, plus these supplements, and you might not break out in the virus. It often goes away before it starts.
The gluconate form is said to be most effective, as in Cold-Eeze tablets.
Knock on wood. I get about one cold every few years. Haven’t had the flu for more years than I can remember. No flu shots either.
If I drink enough hot toddies, I don’t even remember the cold.

My Dad actually swears by Zicam. We’re trying it out now...let you know if it works or not. ;)
