Basic Brands Zinc Orange Defend – Zinc Lozenges for Adults, Immune Support & Seasonal Wellness Support – Orange Flavor, 100 Count

Keep This on the kitchen window sill,if you've got a winter sniffle. 1 tablet on those Symptom Days! Pleasant Orange 🍊👍

I bought these in the store in cherry, which is not exactly my favorite flavor, so I was pretty psyched to see orange when I went searching to buy these again. Unfortunately, the flavor isn't nearly as strong as in the cherry version, even if it is way more pleasant.Warning for anyone who hasn't had these before: they can make your mouth raw. Zinc is a metal, albeit a useful one that in my case, which my doctor told me to take multiple times a day for a respiratory virus. If you suck on these at max dosage, your tongue and the roof of your mouth will get sore. It's not horribly painful, but its definitely uncomfortable after a day or two.

You seem to work good but took it with many other vitamins and did not get sick

Been taking these for two days and I'm still here.

Seriously. These particular lozenges are marvelous. I was a skeptic at first...aren't all zinc lozenges the same? A resounding NO! These zinc lozenges saved all of us (our little ones included) from a hairy flu and cold season this past winter. In taking them at the first signs of feeling ill, they either warded off the cold (or flu) coming on or lessened the severity of it. I think the difference between these zinc lozenges and other brands is that these include Vitamins A & C and honey. All of them are known to boost one's immune system. I am such a believer now that they are a staple item in my medicine cabinet. Make sure to stock up for the next cold & flu season...you'll be glad you did!

Not fond of the cherry flavor. It is not sweet enough for me. I prefer the orange. However, some may like this. It does give the benefits though and without pill form. Easy for kids who like cherry flavor.

I've been using this particular brand of zinc lozenges for years and it absolutely keeps my sickness from worsening. I don't take them every day. Only as soon as I feel symptoms (if you wait until after you're sick, they really only help with recovery time and not necessarily improve symptoms)... and *knock on wood* it's always kept me from getting sick. As a pharmacist, I recommend these to anyone who asks for preventative cold remedies. Everyone who's tried them on my recommendation swears by them too.

The original 100% organic orange zinc lozenges by Basic Organics tasted great ... these are horrendous! Who really cares what is in it if no one would put it in their mouth!? Seriously! I would pay double for the original but these hit my garbage can as soon as it hit my tongue. It's always about the money, they should have let a good thing stand.
