There have been many conflicting statements made about zinc whether it actually helps colds or not. Personally, I take Zinc everday. I have 3 kids so I am always confronted with a new cold or virus but I have definitely noticed that I have less colds since starting taking the zinc on a daily basis. Zinc helps the bodies resistance to infections it also helps make certain hormones in the body that tells the immune system to kick in when a virus begins to attack the body which, can in turn prevent and shorten a cold. My advice would be try it for yourself and see how beneficial it is for you.
