Sunkist Zinc Throat Lozenges with Vitamin C and Echinacea, Mixed Flavors, Case of 18- 16 lozenges (288 Lozenges)

The description does not tell you it is going to be several envelopes with lozenges in them. I thought a couple bottles were coming in the box. Like the product as it has both zinc and vitamin C to help fight colds and flue. Will order it in bottles next time. Envelopes are not handy for me.

After three weeks in which I caught and recovered from three colds, I was looking for a generic version of Cold-Eeze zinc lozenges, and saw these. These aren't the same thing, even though they have many of the same ingredients. Cold-Eeze comes in individually wrapped lozenges, which are like cough drops or hard candies. You suck on them for 20-30 minutes, and they coat the throat with zinc gluconate glycine. This has been clinically shown to prevent and reduce the severity of colds. These Sunkist lozenges are more like breath mints than cough drops. They look and feel like Alka-Seltzer tablets, they are not individually wrapped, and they dissolve in your mouth in half the time. That said, I've taken them in the same situations as I take Cold-Eeze, i.e., when I feel a cold coming on, and the colds haven't materialized.
