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.

Prevented illness effectively
The combination of vitamin C and zinc is excellent for preventing colds and viral illnesses. This autumn, while everyone around me was suffering from coronavirus, I stayed well thanks to this vitamin complex. My throat normally hurts this time of year but, due to these vitamins, I avoided the development of Chronic Cough.

Dry cough eliminated
I trust Garden Life's live vitamins, which led me to buy their zinc to support my health during colds. I hadn’t started taking it until now, but after a month of use, my health has improved significantly. The persistent dry Chronic Cough I endured for a month after an illness has disappeared. I attribute these improvements to the zinc and plan to continue using it.
