Zinc & Throat Guard
The stuffy nose‚ sore throat‚ fatigue‚ and sinus headaches from a cold can make you feel miserable. When you have a cold‚ you probably just want to stay in bed and sleep all day. Unfortunately‚ this isn't always an option. Work‚ school‚ and other life responsibilities don't always afford you the time to rest.
Unfortunately‚ there’s no cure for the common cold. You can take over-the-counter medicines to temporarily hide your symptoms and get you through the day‚ but these medicines may cause drowsiness. Another option is to take a natural remedy that contains zinc. Zinc is a mineral that may help relieve some of your cold symptoms‚ especially your sore throat.
Zinc & Throat Guard Lozenges by Perque are a natural remedy that contains zinc and other ingredients that may help you feel better and get better faster. Some of the ingredients in this remedy include:
- Zinc‚ which may shorten the length of time you're sick with a cold
- Vitamin C‚ which may help relieve cold symptoms
- Slippery Elm‚ which may coat your throat to relieve sore throat pain while working to relieve sinus pressure (thereby possibly relieving sinus headaches)
- Echinacea‚ which may reduce the duration of your sore throat and other cold symptoms
To use Perque’s Zinc & Throat Guard‚ dissolve one lozenge in your mouth whenever you feel cold symptoms coming on‚ or use as directed by your doctor. Each container provides 50 lozenges.
For over two decades‚ Perque has been formulating and manufacturing safe‚ effective‚ and unique dietary supplements. Perque products are often included in prestigious clinical studies‚ and have been shown to have more bioavailability than competing products. Founder Dr. Russell M. Jaffe’s goal has always been to integrate conventional medicine with a prevention-first mentality.

from 1094 reviewsBest establishment in the metro area! I have been using the Apothecary for almost 50 years years and now my family does as well. They all are knowledgeable, helpful and ready to answer any questions.
I’ve been depending on Jarrow’s Ideal Bowel Support and think it’s very helpful.

Great decaf medium roast coffee. Wonderful
Everyone is knowledgeable and patient. Also, they have a variety of options and products.
Beef Gelatin Unflavored
Very effective when I combine it with slow release melatonin at night for sleep and stress. This was recommended to me by my functional medicine doctor. The allergy free type is good for people with food sensitivities.
Organic Bacopa really does help with my memory. I can tell the difference if I forget to take it!
This product works for me. Was hounded by my dr to start statins because she thought my numbers were dangerously high. I said absolutely not and added Cholesterice. Over this past year my ‘bad’ number is down 50 points and is staying down. Awesome product which really helped me.
Very glad I found Beberine to give me an assist with pre-diabetes and heart disease. Seems to be working really well.
