Zinc

Zinc Halts Colds
Zinc lozenges have been used to treat the common cold for a number of years, but research results on their effectiveness have been contradictory. Now, a comprehensive, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial conducted by Ananda Prasad, M.D., Ph.D., of Wayne State University in Detroit has shown that zinc lozenges work.

Zinc, Not Iron, May Be the Answer to Anemia
Previous surveys show pregnant women's diets are woefully low in zinc. This study suggests anemic patients should be counseled about eating diets high in both zinc and iron, rather than simply taking iron supplements.
