The only biologically active ingredients present in Zicam Cold Remedy are zinc acetate ( 2X = 1 / 100 dilution ) and zinc gluconate ( 1X = 1 / 10 dilution ).

So far, zinc acetate has not been studied in clinical trials, but the inventor of both formulations, George Eby, an entrepreneur in Austin, Texas, is convinced that acetate will prevail because it tastes better.
43.
However, zinc has been used as zinc gluconate and zinc acetate lozenges for treating the common cold and therefore the safety of usage at about 100 mg / day level is a relevant question.
44.
Once all results have returned to normal, zinc ( usually in the form of a zinc acetate prescription called Galzin ) may be used instead of chelators to maintain stable copper levels in the body.
45.
Zinc acetate is a particularly useful salt in lozenges since acetate has relatively low affinity for zinc, with the result that essentially all zinc from the lozenges is freely released upon solvation in the saliva.
46.
Zinc acetate therapy initially made its appearance in the Netherlands, where physicians Schouwink and Hoogenraad used it in 1961 and in the 1970s, respectively, but it was further developed later by Brewer and colleagues at the University of Michigan.
47.
Sodium content in bulk may be determined by treating with a large excess of uranyl zinc acetate; the hexahydrate ( UO 2 ) 2 ZnNa ( CH 3 CO 2 ) ?H 2 O precipitates and can be weighed.
48.
Although zinc lozenges most probably lead to highest concentration of zinc in the pharyngeal region, a subsequent meta-analysis showed that the effects of high-dose zinc acetate lozenges did not significantly differ in their effects on pharyngeal and nasal symptoms.
49.
Guy Berthon, a French researcher based in Toulouse, France, and the author of the " Handbook on Metal-Ligand Interactions of Biological Fluids, " has shown in laboratory experiments that zinc acetate, theoretically at least, will work the way Eby says it will.
50.
Zinc acetate [ Zn ( CH 3 COO ) 2 ] solution is prepared in ethanol under vigorous stirring until zinc acetate is dissolved in ethanol in temperature around 50 �C . Then ethanol is added and continuously stirred under temperature around 80 �C for half an hour.
