    Questions and Answers about Life Extension, Zinc Lozenges (Citrus-Orange Flavor)

    Have a Question?

    Ask a Question
    • How many days can you take zinc lozenges?

      Zinc lozenges are typically used for short-term purposes, such as during the onset of a cold. It's generally recommended to use them for no more than 5-7 days at a time. Prolonged use of zinc lozenges can potentially lead to side effects or interfere with the absorption of other minerals, so it's important to follow the product's instructions or recommendations.

    • Do zinc lozenges really work?

      Research suggests that zinc lozenges may be effective in reducing the duration and severity of common cold symptoms when taken at the onset of symptoms. They work by potentially interfering with the replication of cold viruses in the throat. While results can vary among individuals, many studies have shown positive effects of zinc lozenges on cold symptoms.

    • Do zinc lozenges help a sore throat?

      Zinc lozenges may help alleviate sore throat symptoms associated with the common cold. The zinc ions released as the lozenge dissolves may have a local anti-inflammatory effect and may interfere with the replication of viruses in the throat. Additionally, the act of sucking on a lozenge can provide temporary relief by increasing saliva production and lubricating the throat.

    • What are the side effects of zinc supplements?

      Zinc supplements, including lozenges, can cause side effects in some people. Common side effects may include nausea, stomach upset, or a metallic taste in the mouth. In higher doses or with long-term use, zinc can interfere with copper absorption, potentially leading to copper deficiency. Excessive zinc intake may also cause flu-like symptoms or affect immune function.

    • What happens if I take zinc every day?

      Taking zinc daily within recommended doses is generally safe and can help maintain adequate zinc levels in the body. Regular zinc intake may support immune function, skin health, and various bodily processes. However, long-term use of high doses can lead to imbalances in other minerals, particularly copper, and may cause other side effects.

    • Who should avoid zinc?

      Certain individuals should be cautious with zinc supplementation. People with a history of zinc sensitivity or allergy should avoid zinc supplements. Those taking antibiotics, diuretics, or medications for rheumatoid arthritis should consult before using zinc, as it may interact with these drugs. Individuals with chronic conditions affecting mineral absorption should also exercise caution.
