At the first sign of a cold I take them (only 3 a day). I haven't had a cold that lasted more than 2 days in years. You should have tried them. At the first sign of a cold I take them (only 3 a day).

While it may be rare and due to a pre-existing genetic factor, I don't want to risk my sense of smell for a common cold.

It's unclear whether they're claiming to have 13.3mg of zinc or 13.3mg of homeopathic dilution, i.e. 13.3mg of .01mol/L solution.

If so I will try to isolate zinc-resistant mutants and determine the responsible mutation. This analysis should provide clues about the mechanism of action of the metal salt.

I'll check the contents list when I'm home. I don't have the package with me but the cover reads 'zinc gluconate' which is one of the zinc salts used in the trials.

It's just sugar, dye, and a little flavoring.
