Clinical Explanation
The zinc gluconate glycine compound in COLD-EEZE® releases 93% of its ionic zinc (Zn2+) into the mucosal membranes in the mouth. This is substantially more free zinc than released by zinc complexes with citrate, mannitol/sorbitol, tartrate, acetate or citric acid.

The zinc ions readily bind to the (cold-causing) human rhinovirus (HRV) which prevents the virus from binding to somatic cells through intercellular adhesion molecules (ICAM), the “docking point” for HRV on the surface of nasal epithelial cells – subsequently reducing HRV duplication and further infection.
