This is a public health warning to innovators trying to capitalize on these discoveries without tresspassing on these patents. Seeing and understanding what to expect from other zinc lozenges is mandatory viewing. Did you know that zinc citrate lozenges or any zinc lozenges containing citric acid can make colds worse? Even eating an orange while using the above patented lozenges can worsen colds. Citric acid and zinc are toxic when allowed to be absorbed into the oral tissues, but not when swallowed as a tablet and dissolution occurs in the stomach. |
