Zinc Lozenges with Rosehip and Acerola
These soothing aniseed flavour lozenges are designed to dissolve on the tongue, bathing the back of the throat in Zinc ions. There are several biologically plausible reasons why zinc may help to alleviate symptoms of the common cold. One is that zinc apparently combines with the negatively charged carboxyl termini of the rhinovirus coat to prevent it entering cells. This stops the virus reproducing further.
The ingredients in Immune Defence have been backed by several studies, showing the effectiveness of ingredients such as zinc, vitamin C, vitamin A and vitamin E to help support and improve your immune system. There has been a surge in consumers looking for immune boosting products and the trend is only set to grow. Recent events have raised awareness to how easily viruses can be spread, and with many people falling into high risk categories, now is the perfect time to educate people and help them find a solution to better protect themselves and their families.

If you are suffering from a cold, Immune Defence can help to alleviate symptoms much quicker.
