Thera Zinc Spray Peppermint Clove Flavor
Quantum Health
Overview
The Thera Zinc Spray provides a good dose of bioavailable zinc gluconate, which has strong clinical evidence for reducing the duration of common cold symptoms. The inclusion of Elderberry and Echinacea extracts further supports immune function and may help reduce URTI incidence and symptom severity. However, the exact doses of these botanicals are hidden within a proprietary blend, making it difficult to fully assess their individual efficacy. Slippery Elm, peppermint, and clove oils offer localized soothing and flavoring benefits.
The Good
Effective form of Zinc for immune support.
Clinically effective dosage of Zinc for common cold symptom reduction.
Includes additional immune-supporting botanicals (Elderberry, Echinacea).
The Bad
The use of a 'Proprietary Blend' conceals the specific dosages of Elderberry, Echinacea, Slippery Elm, and Wild Cherry Bark Extract, making it impossible to ascertain if they are at clinically effective levels.
Wild Cherry Bark Extract contains cyanogenic glycosides and its inclusion in an undisclosed dose within a proprietary blend raises minor safety and efficacy concerns without transparency.
May cause minor stomach upset if taken on an empty stomach.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking immune support, those with zinc deficiency, people looking for convenient zinc delivery
Skip If: You have a known allergy to any ingredients, or are taking medications that interact with zinc.
