Study Findings from Medical University of Lodz Advance Knowledge in Common Cold (Zinc: Prophylaxis and Treatment for the Common Cold).

A recent study conducted by the Medical University of Lodz in Poland explores the use of zinc lozenges as a potential treatment for the common cold. The researchers found that using zinc lozenges within 24 hours of symptom onset can significantly reduce the duration of symptoms. Zinc lozenges are affordable, easily accessible, and have minimal side effects, making them a promising option for symptomatic treatment. The study also suggests that this treatment could be particularly beneficial for athletes, as it may lead to faster recovery and prevent missed training sessions. [Extracted from the article]
