A member asked:
What should you take when you feel a cold or upper respiratory virus coming on?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Zinc!: There are many home and tradtional remedies for the common cold, yet little clinical data convincingly supporting one supplement over another. However, clinical studies with human subjects do support zinc lozenges used early in the course of an upper respiratory infection to decrease the length of the illness. Remember to start them early for the best results!
