From the manufacturer


What are the first signs of a cold?
You may notice the first signs of a cold as little as ten hours after being infected with a cold virus, with full-blown symptoms 2-3 days after infection. Common symptoms that signal a cold include
- Scratchy throat
- Cough
- Runny Nose
- Body Aches
- Unexplained Tiredness
To shorten a cold, it’s important to take action as soon as you notice the first signs of a cold, or what we call a Pre-Cold.

About the Common Cold
Why is the common cold so common?
With more than 200 different viruses that can trigger a cold–and the fact that they spread easily–colds are the most common viral infection. Each year, people in the United States suffer 1 billion colds. People who are suffering from colds may spread the virus into the air or onto something they touch every time they sneeze or cough.
If you touch a surface that’s carrying a cold virus and then touch your mouth, nose, or eyes, you could become infected. The easiest and most effective ways to prevent a cold are to wash your hands and stay away from people with colds. Clean hands can stop germs such as the cold virus from spreading from one person to another.
How long is a cold contagious?
Colds are most contagious for the first 2 to 3 days of a cold.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2025Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseI have to say that this actually seems to work for me. When I start sneezing or feel a tickle in my throat or something in my nose, I start using this product and my symptoms seem to resolve after a couple sessions (meaning, I use it two times at least in a row with time spaced apart as instructed). The wildest thing is that I honestly haven't gotten a full blow cold since I've been using this. This product has seemed to stop it from getting worse.
It's not fair to compare, but just want to share my that I've tried a honey propolis spray in the past and that didn't work as well as this zinc spray. I really think zinc works at the start of any symptoms as some clinical studies have shown.
I would say try this product and see what happens with yourself. I like the oral spray format because it's convenient. You just spray it 4x in your mouth, try to get it on the roof of your mouth, gums, side of inner cheeks, I'll use my tongue to spread it around (forgive me if that's gross to read). Then wait 15 seconds and swallow. Also, directions say don't take on an empty stomach and no citrus food/drink 30 min before AND after as well. After you spray, you can't eat or drink 15 mins after. I do follow the directions to a tee, so make sure to do this to get the best results.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2025Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseZicam came within 48 hours (24 I think) which is good since it's needed while the onset of a cold. Works great for me and my family.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2025Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseI love the zicam products, including this one. I find they work well to hold off impending illness IF you use them at the very first hint that illness is coming on. I carry zicam nasal swabs in my purse at all times. This spray I put in my work bag for when I start to feel the ick during a 12 hour shift. I used it a couple of times without problem, but the third time the spray pump wouldn’t work. It’s like when your hairspray gets clogged and the button pushes down but nothing comes out. Bummer, but oh well. Now I just take a tiny sip, swish, gargle and swallow. So far, so good. I’m surrounded by sick people at work but I’ve remained well and I give credit to this spray as a quick, easy and effective defense. I took one star because the delivery system failed.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2024Size: 1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)Verified PurchaseZicam throat spray works like magic. If I just get a tickle in my throat, I spray my throat right before bed and when I wake up I feel so much better. It's easy to use but the spray had clogs up. After use, I rinse it with warm water so the spray head will work the next time I need it.
