Feedback on (zicam): Kept me in the gym

[chainsaw]

I use this stuff religiosly since it came out, and I have yet to develope a full blown cold.

I did some research on it and read reports on how it really is clinically proven through independant labs to shorten the rhinovirus (the cold).

They don't know exactly how, zinc gluconate acually boost white blood cells, which is what zicam is.

What ya'll experience.

I used to lose a week in the gym, now its just a couple days, I don't hardly lose anything.

i take 30mg. of zinc every day and i'm a freak about using hand sanitizer, i even carry a small bottle with me in the gym.

Matrixx Corp. makes the cold remedy Zicam. In 2004, 7NEWS Investigators revealed that some people who used Zicam's zinc nasal spray lost their sense of smell and taste.

On Friday, Matrixx agreed to pay $12 million in settlement awards and other charges to the 300 people who were part of a class-action lawsuit. Matrixx said that will cover about 90 percent of the outstanding claims

yeah i would just take the pill form, 30mg. is plenty, it's also great for sex drive.

Yeah I have noticed supplementing zinc helps!
I make sure I take it in the absence of calcium as that interferes with absorption

thre is also literature saying that using hand sanitizer religously can eventually make it inaffective to the user

Dude, you are right on.  I wash my hands and then use purell, and then spray my key's and cell phone with lysol when I get in the car. I even wash off my water bottle, since I touch the weights, and then the bottle.  I wash it twice during my workout with hot water.
 I see people touch they're nose, and cough.  Fck that, I need to work, and train. 
Sickness is not an option here.

Why not just reinforce your own immune system instead of using all this sanitizing shit?!   You guys are sounding like OCD cleaning freaks.....

I take a good multivitamin/multimineral, 800 I.U. of vitamin E, 2 to 4 grams of vitamin C, B complex and that's it. I can't remeber since the last time I got a cold....

[Dingleberry]

thre is also literature saying that using hand sanitizer religously can eventually make it inaffective to the user

I agree. It turns out that being too anal about germs by sanitizing everything can actually lead to a weakened immune system.

I don't get colds and I do the same thing.  I keep myself pretty clean (washing hands, showering regularly and being weary in public places) but I do not over sanitize.  Your body needs to come in contact with certain foreign substances to help develop resistances.  Just ask the Indians....

LOL! Funny shitt! I am the furthest thing from a germphobe. In fact, I'm the guy who puts his whole mouth over the water fountain spigot.

But that Zicam stuff works. The last two times, I've started feeling the swollen glands and sickness coming on, I've stuck those medicated Zicam q-tips up my nostrils and BINGO, good as new the next day.

And I put 2 inches on my arms in 24 hours. Muscletech's Zycam: Say Goodbye to Colds and Hello to Hot 20-inch Guns.

I use Zicam.  The form I use is actually a little gross - it's this gooey clear stuff on the end of a Q-tip type of device, and you rub the goo in your nostrils.  I do this once or twice a day if I feel a cold coming on, and I swear by it - the intensity of the cold is diminished!!!  It's a little hard to find though, the goo-form of Zicam.  I don't remember experiencing any loss of taste or smell, I just have to concentrate on not sneezing out the medicine before it can absorb.
