GUMM, I bought some today (the stock) but I wonder what makes it so special? I have not read the studies, I guess it has to do with being a nasal spray. Zinc has been touted as an aid in lessening the effect of colds for many years...in fact zinc lozenges have been in health food stores towards that end for quite awhile. Lately echinacea has grabbed center stage along with garlic... I guess I could go read the study and enlighten myself.....nah! Stan

2MAR$. It has been known for over a couple of years now that Zinc helps. News programs such as 20/20 enlightened viewers of Zinc's (oral-tablet) decrease in the time it takes to remedy the common cold. There was an explosion of Zinc sales. I recall the difficulty in finding it on the shelves.My mother takes it when she fills a cold coming on and gets relief within 3 days. No doubt, with this new delivery system, which makes the onset faster, will have a major impact on the company sales. Who knows maybe 20/20 will provide a segment on it. Wouldn't surprise me.
