## Description

When immune challenges arise, it’s important to have a stay-well strategy. Zinc is an important trace mineral that maintains optimal immune function. This formula contains a special ionic formula that delivers 18.75 mg of zinc acetate that is designed to dissolve slowly for maximum immune support. Keep these lozenges on hand for days when you need a little reinforcement but note: these lozenges are not designed for daily use. This enhanced zinc formula contains 30 vegetarian lozenges per bottle, suitable for one lozenge every two hours (with maximum intake of eight lozenges per day). This formula is also non-GMO, gluten-free, vegetarian and manufactured in the USA.

Review: So effective!!! - Zinc acetate is the most effective form of zinc! This stuff is a lifesaver during sickness season. As soon as we start feeling sick, we take it and allow it to dissolve in our mouths. It takes a little while for it to dissolve because they are quite large. But very effective! If needed, we take them every few hours and typically the sickness goes away very quickly. We have recommended this product to several friends!
Review: Indispensable for parents - If you're a parent, you probably have a steady stream of viruses into your home (ie: your beloved, germ-carrying children). My kids get sick about twice a month. And life is like that Nyquil commercial, where the parents can't just quit or take a break. You need to stay well enough to care for everyone. These zinc lozenges really help keep all the symptoms to a minimum and make it so I hardly even notice that I'm sick. I found this after seeing a study that showed that this specific form of zinc can ward off a cold after only 3 days. It stops the virus from reproducing, so as long as you have it in your mouth, it puts the cold on pause. Despite the risk of choking on it (I never have), I put one in my mouth at bedtime to let it slowly dissolve overnight. It usually lasts til I wake up, and I finish it off after another hour or so. They do take a long time to dissolve. There are several things that might discourage the faint of heart from taking these. First, they really are huge--it feels like a horse pill. Second, they take away your sense of taste for a few hours. Third, they leave a residue and don't taste great (though they don't have much of a taste at all--just a little sweet and minty). I accept all these negatives, because to me, it's better than the sore throat, runny nose, stuffiness, sleeplessness and fatigue. My symptoms are hardly more than a slight soreness in my throat and maybe some phlegm. Sometimes I get a cough. But the zinc keeps the head cold away for sure. Definitely consider trying this if you haven't already.

## Features

- Robust immune response – Take these specially formulated zinc lozenges at the first sign of an immune challenge. (Note: these lozenges are not intended for daily use!)
- Ionic zinc – These lozenges are made with zinc acetate, which releases 100% of its zinc as positively charged zinc ions. This makes it especially effective at supporting a strong immune response.
- Large lozenge – These zinc lozenges may look intimidating, but they’re big on purpose: the size allows them to dissolve slowly, allowing your body to make the most use of the zinc inside them.
- Ingredients matter – We use the finest raw ingredients with the quality and purity you deserve. The majority of our products are non-GMO, gluten-free and manufactured in the USA—and a Certificate of Analysis is available for every one.
- Live your healthiest life – We believe the answers to a healthier life are in reach, and that scientific research is the key to getting there. That’s why so many of our formulas feature specific ingredients and amounts based on scientific studies.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seems to work for Gum healing
*by R***O on October 10, 2025*

I bought this to help with healing my periodontal gum area. As I started taking them , the gum infection started draining pus. I stopped after three days of two a day. As I lost all taste for several hours. I started again after three weeks. These seem to work. But by the time the full lozenge has dissolved, the tongue feels weird.
