Researchers tested whether zinc acetate could help people suffering from persistent, hard-to-treat cough. In this randomized, placebo-controlled pilot study, 34 participants received either zinc acetate or placebo for 6 weeks, with improvements measured using four different cough and quality-of-life scales.
While zinc successfully increased serum zinc levels in treated participants, both groups improved similarly across all measures. The improvements in cough symptoms and quality of life were too small to meet clinically meaningful thresholds, suggesting zinc acetate offers no real advantage over placebo for chronic cough sufferers.

Reduced coughing
These Help Lounges have been remarkable for me. As a marijuana smoker with lung damage following Covid, these pills have alleviated the chronic cough I used to experience. They begin to take effect in under 30 minutes, which is absolutely astonishing.

Improved symptoms
I highly recommend Dr Bast and this form of zinc. Along with vitamin C, it has significantly improved my persistent cough, which Iāve had for months. Since I've started taking this zinc daily, I've only noticed positive changes in my condition.
