{"product_id":"zinc-lozenges-15mg-48970","title":"ZINC LOZENGES 15MG","description":"Zinc is an essential mineral that plays a major role in growth, reproduction, antioxidant defenses, and healthy immune function. Zinc is a critical nutrient for the immune system. The normal, healthy development of immune cells, particularly T-lymphocytes depends upon adequate zinc status. Zinc deficiency has been shown to reduce the physical size of the thymus gland; it is here where T cells mature to become fully functional mature T-lymphocytes. These cells are critical for a healthy immune response. Provided as a lozenge, zinc gluconate has been shown to reduce the severity and duration of the common cold, as well as reduce antibiotic use in school-age children with a cold.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides 15 mg of zinc citrate and gluconate per lozenge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContains slippery elm and propolis to soothe the throat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePleasant taste from natural lemon flavor and sorbitol.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps support normal, healthy immune function.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides antioxidant support which is essential to immune function.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStudies show a reduction in the severity and duration of the common cold.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStudies also show that prophylactic (preventive) use may reduce the number of colds per year, as well as reduce antibiotic usage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlippery elm is a mucilaginous herb that provides soothing support for the mucus lining of the throat and esophagus, both of which may become irritated during a cold\/infection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PATHWAY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42641309237486,"sku":"48970","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0319\/0960\/9603\/products\/ZincLozenges-120LZ.jpg?v=1664482339","url":"https:\/\/myvillanegreen.com\/products\/zinc-lozenges-15mg-48970","provider":"Village Green Apothecary","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
