Studies demonstrated that the components of olive leaf extract are also toxic to a wide range of bacteria, protozoa, yeasts, parasites and fungi. Olive leaf extract’s safety and efficacy has been demonstrated in animal experiments and by the hundreds of clinicians around the country who have used olive leaf extract to treat their patients. Olive leaf extract is a safe antimicrobial substance suitable and safe for preventive and daily consumption. Finally, it should be emphasized that the components of olive leaf extract inactivated every cold and flu virus they were tested against, indicating Olive Leaf Extract should occupy an important place in the medicine cabinet.

Zinc is an essential mineral and required for approximately 100 enzymatic reactions in the body. In a new meta-analysis of randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials concluded that zinc reduces symptoms related to the common cold.

In this new analysis, researchers combined the data from 13 clinical trials in which zinc was supplemented for at least 5 consecutive days or at least 5 months. The new meta-analysis revealed that zinc supplementation significantly reduced the duration and severity of cold symptoms. Compared to the control group, there were significantly less subjects with cold symptoms after 7 days in the group receiving zinc.

Furthermore, the study showed that there was a significant decrease in the incidence of developing a cold, school absences, and antibiotic prescriptions in the group receiving zinc compared to the control group. The study authors concluded, “Zinc administered within 24 hours of onset of symptoms reduces the duration and severity of the common cold in healthy people.”
