Since 1984, researchers have debated whether
zinc helps people to fight off colds.
A report in the Aug. 15 ANNALS OF INTERNAL MEDICINE now tilts the balance in favor of
zinc, finding that lozenges taken every few hours at the start of a cold slash its average
duration nearly in half.
Researchers gave 25 people zinc acetate dihydrate lozenges within 24 hours of the onset of
a cold; 23 others received an inert substitute. Both lozenges tasted of peppermint.
Neither researchers nor participants were told who was receiving zinc until afterward.
Participants took a lozenge every 2 to 3 hours for 4 or 5 days.
People getting 80 milligrams of zinc a day reported their overall cold symptoms abated in
less than 5 days, compared with 8 days on average for the group getting placebos, says
study coauthor Pranatharthl H. Chandrasekar, a physician at Wayne State University School
of Medicine in Detroit. In particular, participants getting zinc reported significantly
less coughing and nasal discharge than the people receiving the placebo did. |
