It seems that zinc acetate and zinc gluconate are most often used in lozenges etc.
But are there other forms that may be more effective for say, breaking open a capsule and pouring the powder onto the back of the tongue?
Or perhaps mixing with some honey to coat the mouth and throat better?
I typically use Zinc Picolinate for this, as that is just what I have on hand, and it has worked quite well if applied at the onset of a headache, or scratchy feeling in the throat, runny nose etc.
I rarely get sick, but can usually tell at the onslaught of something, and applying zinc powder orally within the mouth/throat has typically resulted in overnight symptom relief for me.
