This is a hidden gem for immunity, far better than vitamin C when you have a cold, it’s not even close.

These were recommended as being helpful to nip a cold in the bud before it really takes hold. Difficult to know if it was the zinc, the copious amounts of vitamin c, or the gallons of water I drank, but something worked as the cold only lasted 2 days!

Not a pleasant taste but they seem to work when used at the first sign of a cold or sore throat. So far so good.

I have early stages of a cold so got these after doing some research. These are the only kind of losenges that can work cos they contain Zinc Acetate & no “zinc blocker” ingredients. I saw people complain about the flavour in the reviews but honestly they’re fine. It’s like an alkaline peppermint taste, just like antacid tablets. Zinc tastes weird so there’s only so much you can mask the flavour without loads of additives that might block the efficacy of the Zinc. I was ideally looking for a sugar free supplement but these don’t have a huge amount of sugar, so I can cope for a few days. I haven’t found any other sugar free Zinc Acetate losenges anywhere, maybe it’s not possible. If you can make them sugar free, please do! The packaging was fancy and mostly recyclable. Overall I will definitely buy them again. Edit: I still got the cold but it helped to delay it. Would use again. Don’t take on empty stomach

I often find zinc lozenges make me feel nauseous. Even though this one may taste a tad chalky - which I do not mind at all - it has a pleasant mint taste, always helps my throat feel better and contains a high amount of zinc. I never get nauseous after-effects from letting one dissolve in my mouth. i believe it is value for money. A+

Great for reducing suffering times of colds. Suck every few hours when symptoms first start. Works fab.

Palatable but do not no if it works

These lozenges are far too strong. After taking just one they leave a bitter metallic aftertaste that lasts for around five hours. It is quite sickening and very difficult to get rid of even after eating and drinking. The instructions say to take every 2 to 3 hours, but with such a long lasting and unpleasant taste this is simply not practical. There is also no return option on Amazon for this product so it ended up being a complete waste of money. I would not recommend buying these.
