Fresno, CA Zicam has a fantastic homeopathic product to help shorten an oncoming

Review 1 cold. After receiving my sample I did experience the onset of a cold within
Votes 26 days of its arrival. I used a tablet the first night before bed, It dissolved
quickly and did not have a bad taste, nor did it leave a "chalky" feeling in
my mouth. Over the course of four days I used these tablets every 4 hours,
along with my cold medicine.

My cough never fully developed, which was good, and I only missed 1 day
of work due to my cold symptoms. Overall I would strongly recommend
this product and I plan on repurchasing these to have in the house in case
of another bout of illness. .

Utica, MI I was very excited to be chosen to sample Zicam Cold Remedy RapidMelts
Review 1 "homeopathic" tablets. The zinc works very well in shortening the length
Votes 54 and severity of a cold, but it tastes like zinc even with the natural and
artificial flavors. I would have given a higher rating to this product but I
take exception to the inactive ingredients of FD&C yellow #6 aluminum
lake and artificial flavor being labeled as homeopathic. There were several
ingredients that I did not expect to see in a product being touted as
homeopathic. In the future I will just be buying zinc tablets as I don't like to
use artificial additives in my supplements or food intake.

I just went to the store to purchase it under the recommendation from
my integrative doctor. However I could NOT PURCHASE any because of
the fake “FLAVORS and DYES” unfortunately. I wish they would make
this product more real natural without additives.

Roswell, NM I hate cold season but this year it was so much easier thanks too Zicam
cold remedy Rapidmelts. I woke up and had a sruffy nose and scratchy
throat so I took 1 Rapidmelts and took another 1 three hours later as
directed and so on the next day I was not all the way well but I didn't feel
any worse so I kept taking the rapidmelts as directed and I never got any
 worse I felt great. I will definitely buy these in the future and tell all my
friends and family about them. Colds can really drag you down and with
the Zicam Rapidmelts I was able to do my regular routine and that was
amazing. Thank you so much for this amazing product.

Magnolia, DE I started using Zicam Cold Remedy Rapidmelts three days ago when I
Review 1 woke up with the first signs of a cold starting. The orange flavored tabs
Votes 13 really did melt quickly in my mouth and had a light, pleasant taste. I'm
happy to say that the sore throat I started with has faded and my nose
hasn't been stuffy all day.
My nose is still running a
bit, but that's probably a good thing so I can see
that the mucus is clear. The package recommends that you increase fluids
intake and since it's good to have more fluids during a cold, I don't have a
problem with the suggestion.
I am pleased with this product.
Zicam is making it possible for me to feel
well enough to be ready for Thanksgiving!

North Olmsted, OH I was a bit skeptical when I first heard about these. There have been so
Reviews 2 many different products which claim that they can shorten the life of a
Votes 24 cold, almost all of them turning out to be hocus-pocus. After trying these
complementary in exchange for my honest feedback, I can tell you for a
fact that THESE THINGS WORK!! I started taking them at the first sign of a
cold as instructed in the directions, and it helped nailed it right in the bud!
My partner however who also had the same symptoms and didnt take any,
wasnt so lucky. His turned into a bad cold. While I feel bad fornot telling
him about these, I remind myself that I needed to have a controlled
variable to be able to compare them to.

Westerly, RI Zicam Cold Remedy rapidmelts are the best way to fight cold! I couldnt
Review 1 believe that taking them would do anything but it did stop me from
Votes 12 getting sicker! The most important thing to remember is the fact that you
need to start taking the melts as soon as you start feeling that you getting
sick. Zicam cold remedy rapidmelts help with sore throat, coughing and
nodal congestion! And they taste really really good, not like regular
medicine. I absolutely love this product and think that its a must have for
everybody, especially during winter!

Houston, TX The citrus rapid melts, do just that,- they melt as soon as you place it on
Review 1 your tongue. The citrus taste is ok, I's prefer a berry flavor, but this one was
Votes 7 alright. It's easy to ingest because it melts quickly, and it didn't leave an
after-taste. I've used it for a few days, and it's a nice way to deter a cold or
keep it from getting worse if you're having some cold symptoms. I followed
the directions, and took a tablet every 3 hours. I can honestly say that after
several days of taking Zicam, I did notice a difference in how I felt. My mild
symptoms subsided and I would definitely recommend this to my friends
and family. Especially now that cold weather is here, this is a great way to
keep the colds at bay.
