I ordered some of the Life Extension lozenges you said you were using; they are very large and take a long time to dissolve. It’s not super unpleasant or anything, I’m just wondering if you would count this against them?
On my model of what’s going on, you probably want the lozenges to spend a while dissolving, so that you have fairly continuous exposure of throat and nasal tissue to the zinc ions. I find that they taste bad and astringent if I actively suck on them but are pretty unobtrusive if they just gradually dissolve over an hour or two (sounds like you had a similar experience). I sometimes cut the lozenges in half and let each half dissolve so that they fit into my mouth more easily, you might want to give that a try?
Interesting, I can see why that would be a feature. I don’t mind the taste at all actually. Before, I had some of their smaller citrus flavored kind, and they dissolved super quick and made me a little nauseous. I can see these ones being better in that respect.
