A review of 7 studies that shows 80-92mg per day of zinc may reduce the length of the common cold by 33%.
-
A study that examines the essential role of zinc in human health and that it may possess potent antiviral effects.
-
A randomized, 3-way crossover study of 15 adults taking 10mg of zinc citrate, gluconate and oxide.
