lood levels of vitamin D (which can beachieved through supplementation) may helpfight off winter colds and flu by activatingantimicrobial peptides that attack bacteria,viruses and fungi, thereby boosting the body’sown immune defense system. 7In a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trialpublished in the journal Epidemiology andInfection, researchers showed that vitamin Dsupplementation had a protective effect againstcolds and flus. 7 The study involved 208 Afro-Caribbean post-menopausal women, a group thatis particularly at risk of vitamin D deficiency dueto their dark skin pigmentation (individuals withdark skin make less vitamin D with sun exposurecompared to those with lighter skin). 7 During thisthree-year study, half of the women received avitamin D supplement (800 IU daily for the firsttwo years; increased to 2,000 IU daily in the lastyear of the study), while the other half received aplacebo. Over the three-year period, those whotook the vitamin D supplements had a 70 percentreduction in colds and flu, compared to thosewho were taking the placebo. 7Jamieson Zinc Lozenges with Vitamins C & Dand Echinacea, provide zinc in the form of zincgluconate, which has been shown in clinicalstudies to reduce the severity and duration of thecommon cold. 1,2 They are specially formulatedwith vitamins C & D and Echinacea to enhanceimmune system functioning, and help to restoreand maintain optimal health. 3,4 Jamieson ZincLozenges with Vitamins C & D and Echinaceadissolve quickly in the mouth and are thusabsorbed more effectively than other forms,providing quick relief of cold and flu symptoms.Jamieson Zinc Lozenges with Vitamins C & Dand Echinacea are formulated from naturalsources and are pharmaceutically tested toguarantee full potency and absolute clinicalpurity.What makes Zinc Lozenges with Vitamins C &D and Echinacea from Jamieson Laboratoriesdifferent ……and why does that difference meanbetter?1) Provides zinc in the form of zinc gluconate, which hasbeen shown in clinical studies to reduce the severityand duration of the common cold. 1,22) Specially formulated with vitamins C and D toenhance immune system functioning, and help restoreand maintain optimal health. 3,43) Natural honey lemon flavour4) Dissolve quickly in the mouth and are thus absorbedmore effectively than other forms, providing quickrelief of cold and flu symptoms.5) Manufactured according to the 360 Pure protocol,which involves a minimum of 360 quality-control teststhat guarantee traceability and reliability of rawmaterials, product safety, full potency and absoluteclinical purity.INGREDIENT INFORMATIONAvailable as 30 lozenges.Each lozenge contains:Zinc (Zinc gluconate)………………….10 mgVitamin C……………………………..100 mg(Ascorbic Acid, Sodium Ascorbate)Vitamin D3................................2.5 mcg/100 IU(Cholecalciferol)Echinacea (3:1 extract)….…………….…8 mg(Echinacea angustifolia, root)Equivalent to 24 mg raw herb, standardized to 4%echinacosides.Astragalus (8:1) extract..............................1 mg(Astragalus mebranaceous, root)Equivalent to 8 mg of raw herbChamomile (1:4) extract…..…………......1 mg(Matricaria recutita/chamomilla, flower)Equivalent to 4 mg of raw herbPeppermint Leaf…………………………1 mg(Mentha piperita, leaf)Ginger ………………………….………..1 mg(Zingiber officinale, root)EXCIPIENTSSorbitol, Citric Acid, Natural Flavours (Honey Lemon,Red Raspberry), Vegetable Magnesium Stearate, Silica,Sucralose.For Accidental Overdose (such as child ingesting formula)Dial 911, 0 for operator assistance or call your nearest Poison Control Centre.For Professional Use OnlyThe information contained here has been accumulated from many sources.Indications are not intended as cures, they are simply a guideline to be used at your professional discretion.For more information please visit www.jamiesonvitamins.com or call 1-800-265-5088 to speak to a Consumer Affairs representative.08/24/12
