Does zinc help with the common cold?
In this meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials, zinc supplementation was not shown to reduce the risk of getting a cold. In participants who already had a cold, zinc lozenges and nasal sprays reduced the duration of illness by approximately 2.4 days but increased the risk of adverse events such as stomach upset.
Could a personalized supplement reduce the incidence or severity of respiratory infections?
No effect of vitamin D on preventing respiratory tract infections in older adults
Xylitol for ear infections, respiratory infections, and dental cavities
Bovine colostrum for upper respiratory tract infections in children
