My husband is a teacher so I know very well that during back-to-school season, there is always some sickness being passed around. No one likes that horrible stuffy feeling of being congested and having to breath through your mouth! That is why this is a great time to stay on top of frequent hand washing and making sure your children do too! I am also happy to partner with Cold-EEZE® because both of my children are both off to college this year. I am sending Cold-EEZE® Lozenges with them as part of their essentials to be ready. Cold-EEZE® lozenges are formulated with zinc, an active ingredient shown to shorten the length of a cold. It always works well for me. Now, I can rest easy knowing they will be prepared when cold and flu season hits their dorms.

Does Cold-EEZE® Work?
That is part of why I love Cold-EEZE® so much. A clinical study found the Cold-EEZE® Zinc Lozenge formula reduces the duration of the common cold by up to 42%, when taken at the first sign of a cold and used as directed. So yes, it does work and it makes a big difference! It has been shown to improve the speed of recovery for both throat and nasal symptoms and that is something we can all feel good about. And when your kids have important college classes they can’t afford to miss, getting back on your feet up to 42% faster* with Cold-EEZE® helps ensure they don’t fall behind. Considering the average length of a cold, it is like taking back 3 days of being sick!

Cold-EEZE® Plus Defense Lozenges Review
I got the Cold-EEZE® Plus Defense Lozenges in the Manuka Honey & Lemon variety. My kids and I enjoy the Manuka honey lemon flavor. All Cold-EEZE® lozenges are a proprietary homeopathic cold remedy formulated with zinc, an active ingredient shown to shorten the length of a cold. The Plus Defense line of lozenges also helps to promote immune health with additional active ingredients such as Elderberry, Echinacea and Rose Hips. Elderberry and Echinacea have been used as a medicinal herbs for over 400 years and rose hips are rich in antioxidants such as vitamin C.
I tell my kids to have a lozenge at the first sign of any sickness, even if it is just a tickle in the throat or a bit of a runny nose. I like that Cold-EEZE® works naturally. There are no artificial colors and no preservatives. The natural ingredients go to work to help support their health without making them feel groggy or foggy.

How does it work?
Zinc Gluconate is the active ingredient in Cold-EEZE®. The proprietary formula starts working immediately to release zinc ions in the mouth. The release of zinc ions inhibits the cold virus’s ability to replicate, shortening the duration of the common cold.
The Avena Sativa L. 2X HPUS✢ (the common oat) helps with general debility and fatigue. ✢ The letters ‘HPUS’ indicate that the active ingredient is in the official Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States.
What does it do?
- Reduces the duration of the common cold.
- Reduces the severity of cold symptoms: cough, sore throat, nasal congestion, post nasal drip and/or hoarseness.
The lozenges taste great and are easy to keep in a purse or in a backpack so that they are always handy. It is no wonder they are the #1 best selling zinc lozenge brand! We haven’t had to use them yet this season but we have used them in past cold and flu seasons to help support our immunity and reduce the length of sickness. I have found them to be super helpful over the years. I think they are a back-to-school essential to be prepared should you feel a cold coming on. We all know moms and teachers can’t afford to be sick. Neither can our big kids who don’t want to miss their challenging classes. That is why we like having it on hand to shorten illness and keep us well. Cold-EEZE® is great for Adults and Kids 12 and up!
