Zinc Lozenges with Vitamin C & Echinacea, Wild Berry, 60 ct | Zinc Supplements for Men and Women, Convenient Lozenge Supports Immune Health and Function*, Vegan, Wild Berry Flavored

Great taste and easy to take. Dissolves easily in the mouth.

Surprisingly palatable. I don't know how this product is able to conceal the taste of the zinc gluconate so well, but it does. It's quite tangy, reminiscent of Pez candy. It's not too gritty and actually dissolves in the mouth quite well. Pretty good value for the price. Will buy again.

Love this product. It is very effective in helping prevent and shorten colds.

These are the fairly big almost dime sized tablets which work best melting in your mouth, though you may be tempted to chew them. They taste just ok but who cares; they work well & helped keep a recent bug from getting out of hand. From now on I will be using these, as well as therazinc throat spray, whenever I feel a bug coming on. Both work great 👍🏼

repurchase. good quality and very effective. would highly recommend.

They’re not actually Lonzenges but chewables. The texture other reviewers are talking about is just that, smooth at the start but get textured as it melts in your mouth. That’s what chewables are like. As an older generation I am used to that. They don’t taste bad to me. I rather get better and get over the taste anyway. The price is good for the amount you get.

Tastes good and doesn't cause any adverse events! I like to think it shortened the duration of my cold, but I would not be able to tell realistically. Besides that, I enjoyed these and would purchase them again over any other zinc tablets for a cold

Zicam costs about $10 for 25 lozenges, breaking down to 40 cents apiece. I bought this for $6.40 for 60 lozenges, or 11 cents each. There's a lot of reading material out there debating the efficacy of zinc for shortening colds, but I recently became a convert. Still just because I'm a believer doesn't mean I'm loyal to one particular brand. It can be very easy to run through a bottle of Zicam if you and another paranoid member of your household take it as suggested (every three hours until symptoms subside). I did a fair amount of research comparing the active ingredients of the two. Zicam's two active ingredients are: -Zincum aceticum 2x -Zincum gluconicum 1x Zicam doesn't specify the quantity of its active ingredients but uses 1x or 2x to refer to dilution (I learned this after reading a 2010 LA Times article on homeopathic cold remedies). My understanding is that 1x means one part of the active ingredient (in this case, zincum gluconicum) in 10 parts water. Nature's Way lists 23mg of zinc "as citrate/gluonate." Though I tried my best to look it up, I can't tell what exactly the difference is between zinc aceticum and citrate. However, given what I learned about dilution, it does seem likely there's more zinc in here than Zicam. I can't say definitively that these two products are the same, but I can say that having taken both I've felt able to overcome colds faster (again, who knows how much of this is due to zinc vs placebo effect vs just a cold playing out its course). I had read reviews that complained about the taste of these lozenges, but I found it perfectly acceptable and certainly more palatable than the Zicam RapidMelts in orange cream (which was the only flavor the pharmacy had when I bought it).
