Seeking Health Zinc Lozenges provide 15mg of elemental zinc as zinc acetate per lozenge in a slow-dissolving sublingual format — allowing direct absorption through the oral mucosa for rapid delivery to immune cells of the upper respiratory tract. Particularly useful at the first sign of cold or flu.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use zinc lozenges instead of capsules?

Zinc lozenges release zinc ions directly in the throat and oral cavity where cold viruses replicate. Clinical evidence shows zinc acetate lozenges taken at the onset of cold symptoms can significantly reduce duration and severity when started within 24 hours.

What form of zinc is best for lozenges?

Research specifically supports zinc acetate lozenges for immune benefit during cold illness. The lozenge must dissolve slowly in the mouth to maintain zinc ion concentration in the oral and pharyngeal mucosa where it is needed.

How should I use Zinc Lozenges for immune support?

At the onset of cold symptoms, allow 1 lozenge to dissolve slowly in your mouth every 2-3 hours while awake for up to 5 days. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Not meant for long-term daily use.

Are Zinc Lozenges suitable for daily supplementation?

Zinc Lozenges are primarily designed for short-term acute immune support. For ongoing daily zinc supplementation, Seeking Health Zinc Carnosine or a multivitamin with zinc provides more appropriate maintenance doses.
