On a personal note, I use Zicam when I'm coming down with something (the lozenges, not the pills). The Zinc keeps influenza from absorbing into your throat and respiratory tract as successfully. This is being offered up by some people as a prophylactic to covid-19. I'm going to try it.

Based on my experience, zinc works wonders. My GF had the flu, she was out for the count for 4 days. I loaded up on zinc for 4 days. My flu-like symptoms only lasted about 24 hrs to 36 hrs.
Maybe it's placebo. I don't know. Maybe my immune system is just stronger than normal and zinc has nothing to do with it. But that is my experience.
