Not sure about absorption, but I use it mainly like a lozenge to soothe the throat and reduce coughing.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Taking zinc may help prevent the rhinovirus (or cold virus) from multiplying and may stop the virus from lodging in the mucous membranes of the nose and throat.

Shit, there's only 49 users here, I doubt we'll even break 100
its probably totally unrelated to the man made virus that circulated the entire globe, shut down society, and continues to circulate in multiple variants. its just a normal cough.
Tap, Rack, BANG!
At our home with have K2+D3, C, Zinc+Copper, probiotic. That is what I use and I probably can take more D during the winter season. The kids also take B12 and some other things. My MIL thinks we take way too many supplements.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Will try the steam and essential oil!
Thanks. My MIL has a puffer (she brought it with her from Hungary) she uses. I will buy a nasal rinse product.
You need the salt. I mix my own.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I don't think this is correct at all. The little bit of salt in these rinses isn't killing anything. you absolutely SHOULD be using boiled water. I usually don't, but you for sure SHOULD.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I think to be safe, it's better to boil, or perhaps the distilled option. The thing for me is, it's a lot easier and faster to grab the bottle of Hydrasense and do a couple of big blasts in each nostril. I suspect it's not as effective as the squirt bottle as you are getting a lot more volume of liquid up there and draining out, but it's 8 seconds vs however long it takes for the other process.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

You are right, I'll edit to boil to past 115F, to reduce cooling time wait.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I found this:
During their investigation, the CDC researchers tested salt water prepared according to the neti pot instructions to see whether N. fowleri could survive in the salinity (the organisms are naturally found only in fresh water, not in salt water).
The researchers found that the amoebas survived in the salt water longer than four hours — a far longer time than neti pot users would likely wait between dissolving the salt and using the pot, Yoder said.
"Boil past 115F".
Um, you might already have some amoebas.
115F was based on the CDC:
https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/naegle...an%2080%C2%B0F.
Naegleria fowleri is a heat-loving (thermophilic) organism, meaning it thrives in heat and likes warm water. It grows best at high temperatures up to 115°F (46°C) and can survive for short periods at even higher temperatures.
Dude... strong reading comprehension...
Anyhow, you need to boil it at 100C for five minutes. 100C is 212F. You can keep the boiled water in the fridge for seven days.
Same fridge as I store my amoebas?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
They stay much fresher in the freezer.
Mine lasted the full month of November and it was deep and bronchial. Leftover shitty home kits suggested it wasn't tHeCoViDz, but I kind of doubt it.
It really sucked, though.
This is why I buy the bottled stuff from Costco , on sale in packs of 3.

Last time I had a cough that got worse at night it was called post nasal drip and I was given mometasone to use twice a day for two weeks and it cured it. I currently have a cough that won't go away and will do the same. A sinus rinse would probably help as well, but I've never had any luck with those since my lungs' first instinct seems to be to divert all water into them as fast as possible. I don't have any faith in vitamins.
