Okay product. I was happy with them overall.

I swear by this. It's important to have zinc during that critical period when you first feel any cold symptom coming on. I get sick often and I need any zinc readily available. Of course, if you can get your hands on a more reputable pure zinc such as the Opti-Zinc 30 made by Douglas Labratories (only sold exclusively to licensed healthcare professionals): then definately get them because the body will absorb it better. You might have to buy 2-3 boxes to equal 1/day of the higher quality vitamin supplement. But, for a quick, easy to find remedy... go for the Jamieson. It took 4 days of continuous Jamieson lozenges to feel better (after 2 weeks of suffering!) Try it, of any zinc for that matter, and be amazed!
