First of all, this is not a sponsored post. This is just 2 items I find that help me to fight colds, and/or lessen the severity of a cold or flu once I get one.
First, I find that black elderberry extract is wonderful in helping to fight the flu! I forget who turned me onto this supplement, but I use it throughout the Winter and also have a different brand for my so to help boost his immune system. The above is my brand preference for me form Vitamin Shoppe, but I do not know that one is better than another. I just know that it works for me!
I have been taking Cold-Eeze lozenges with Zinc for almost 30 years. I never travel without them. Studies have shown that it is more difficult for cold germs to grow in an environment that has zinc, so I try to keep my throat coated at the first sign of a cold. I have tried 2 other brands but came back to this one as i feel it works the best, and I love the throat spray, expensive as it is, as I feel i can squirt the cold fighting zinc right into my throat.
Again, no one sponsored this, I am just sharing what I use to fight colds, items that have been working for me for years.
