The Magic of Zinc (No, it's not a new Disney film!)
Hello, Julie from Natural Health here...
I wanted to let you know that there are lots of really interesting things in the news at the moment about Zinc Supplements – Zinc is fast becoming the number one replacement for Vitamin C as a choice to ‘cure’ the common cold.
Here’s why:
1) A review of 15 clinical trials has concluded that taking the supplement Zinc in a tablet or lozenge form, can help ward off the common cold.
2) Results from the trials showed that Zinc reduced the duration and severity of cold symptoms when used therapeutically.
3) The latest review found that people who took zinc tablet or lozenge while they have a cold are twice as likely to have shed it within a week as those who took a placebo
4) Also children who took zinc tablet once a day for at least five months were also a third less likely to get colds as those who took a placebo.Scientists who did the trials reported that: "Evidence shows that zinc is beneficial for the common cold and healthy children and adults."
Sounds good! - as colds seem to be hanging around for ages at the moment.
The Zinc I recommended can be found here: Natures Aid Zinc
In a similar vein, we are being asked at the moment for recommendations for a hoarse voice (..see I resisted any jokes about Dobbin /Red Rum..). Well we are having fantastic feedback on Nature’s Plus ImmuneActin Throat Spray which is brilliant for everything from sore throats to Laryngitis.
I also always take it with me when I am travelling by air to help stop that horrid dry throat feeling which so often occurs in planes. In combination with the throat spray, the ImmunActive Throat Syrup is fabulous for helping soothe sore throats too.
