I have been a long time user of Cold-eeze. I take it when I first feel a cold coming on. My best guess is that it has been effective at either preventing or shortening some colds. I will definitely continue to use it. Most recently I bought it when I came down with COVID-19 as a way to increase my zinc intake, particularly in the tissues of the mouth and throat. While there is no proof this helps, there are also no effective at home treatments. It was worth trying to potentially reduce the severity of the infection. One caution is to monitor total zinc intake while you are taking these. Also some people dislike the after taste. Overall, I would judge it to be possibly helpful, inexpensive, and no serious side effects.

We are not doctors or any type of medical people. But we like to use Cold-eeze when we start to feel like a cold is coming on. Seems to help to help keep a cold at bay. We use the cherry-flavored ones. We don't chew them let them melt in mouth and we usually take them after a meal.

I bought these knowing I would probably need them sometime this fall/winter. Sure enough about a week before a trip to Florida in September, I came down with a cold. I was afraid I would get booted off the flight for coughing and being sick so I immediately started taking these. I had success in previous years with knocking out a cold when I took these at the first sign of cold symptoms so as soon as I felt my throat getting scratchy I started taking them. I had a very mild cold for about 3 days and then I was fine. Highly recommend these as soon as you feel like you might be getting sick. They work!

These lozenges stop a runny nose in its tracks. I’ve noticed through the years how short in duration my colds are whenever I take a couple of these as soon as I feel a cold coming on. I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night with a stuffy nose—allergy season—and these lozenges have my airway opened up within a few minutes. I credit the zinc content. The only down side is that I seem to lose my sense of taste for a few hours upon waking. This is short-lived, and not a reason to not try these. I keep them on hand.

After taking this for a day as directed the next day was 200% better, better than anything I took before with cold.

Actual lozenges box was delivered in an envelope and not a box which should always be the case when shipping these. to protect against damage and to keep lozenges in cupboard. Because of this handling the actual box was creased open and flattened on one end. This was the only disappointment. Fortunately, the lozenges we’re not damaged.<br />The product works, when used according to directions I would buy Cold-Eeze again.
