Cold FAid™ Kit

  • Shorten your cold

    Zinc Gluconate, when started immediately with the first sign of a cold, has shown clinical benefit to reduce the length and severity of a cold.

  • Decongest

    Decongestants act by constricting nasal blood vessels, thus relieving nasal/sinus congestion and sinus pressure. This opens the airway passages.

  • Stop sneezing

    Antihistamines block histamine which is released with a cold. Histamine activates the sneeze reflex, inflames the nasal cavity, and causes allergy-like symptoms.

  • Combat aches and fever

    Anti-inflammatories provide pain relief and fever reduction. They decrease the production of an inflammatory chemical called prostaglandin.

    College students experience up to twice as many colds.

    College life presents a challenge for staying healthy. The close proximity of students creates a “hot bed” for the spreading of infections. Factors such as stress, sleep deprivation, poor eating habits, excessive alcohol intake, and smoking are leading contributors to the high number of cases.

    College students experience up to twice as many colds.

While away at school, I received Cold FAid™ as a care package from a very dear friend. Everything was so thoughtfully put together, from the detailed directions and strategy for fighting a cold and the thorough information on symptoms and effective treatments, to the handy first aid packaging. I know I'm well prepared to fight my next cold thanks to Cold FAid™!

My daughter downloaded the Cold FAid app the other day, and it instructed her to seek medical attention. Turns out after only four days of feeling sick, she had a double ear infection and a sinus infection! We are Cold FAid fans!!
