Answer to Question 1


Although a handful of studies have suggested that taking zinc lozenges might slightly decrease the duration of a cold, most controlled intervention trials do not support this health claim. In addition, consuming zinc supplements as directed often results in zinc intakes well above the Tolerable Upper Intake Levels (ULs). Thus, they are generally not recommended.
