Zicam Cold Remedy *Giveaway*


With kids back in the full swing of the new school year, and cold and flu season beginning to rear its ugly head, Zicam wants to prepare you and your readers with free samples of two of our newest products.

Colds can last up to two weeks, but zinc products, like Zicam Cold Remedy, can help shorten the length of the cold itself, not just mask its symptoms. Zicam Cold Remedy reduces the duration and severity of the cold when taken as directed within the first 24 to 48 hours of symptom onset.

It’s funny how we received a package of the Zicam Cold Remedy Zavors just in time. I have been dealing with a new cold and I started taking Ziamcan. I already felt a tons better today.

What to do to prepare for cold and flu season:  

  1. Exercise, eat right, get 7-8 hours of sleep a night and take a daily multi-vitamin.
  2.  Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth during cold and flu season, especially after being exposed to viruses or bacteria.
  3. Promote strong immune function by switching from coffee to tea, eating garlic liberally, and adding yogurt to your diet.  And use zinc products, such as Zicam oral Cold Remedy, within the first 24-48 hours of the onset of cold symptoms to reduce the duration and severity of your cold.
  4.  Drink lots of water, which flushes toxins out of your body while re-hydrating your system.
  5. While studies show that exercising for at least 30 minutes several times a week can help you stay healthy, our immune system fights most effectively when it isn’t stressed. So listen to your body when you feel sick, as a hard workout could weaken your immune system temporarily and potentially make your illness worse.
