Starting in 2010, the Federal Government’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended annual flu vaccination for all people aged 6 months and older. There is currently no strong scientific evidence that any natural product is useful against the flu. Zinc taken orally (by mouth) may help to treat colds, but it can cause side effects and interact with medicines. Zinc is available in two forms—oral zinc (e.g., lozenges, tablets, syrup) and intranasal zinc (e.g., swabs and gels). A 2015 analysis of clinical trials found that oral zinc helps to reduce the length of colds when taken within 24 hours after symptoms start. Intranasal zinc has been linked to a severe side effect (irreversible loss of the sense of smell) and should not be used. A note about safety: Oral zinc can cause nausea and other gastrointestinal symptoms. Long-term use of zinc, especially in high doses, can cause problems such as copper deficiency. Zinc may interact with drugs, including antibiotics and penicillamine (a drug used to treat rheumatoid arthritis). Vitamin C does not prevent colds and only slightly reduces their length and severity. A 2013 review of scientific literature found that taking vitamin C regularly did not reduce the likelihood of getting a cold but was linked to small improvements in cold symptoms. In studies in which people took vitamin C only after they got a cold, vitamin C did not improve their symptoms. A note about safety: Vitamin C is generally considered safe; however, high doses can cause digestive disturbances such as diarrhea and nausea. Echinacea has not been proven to help prevent or treat colds. Echinacea is an herbal supplement that some people use to treat or prevent colds. Echinacea products vary widely, containing different species, parts, and preparations of the echinacea plant. Reviews of research have found limited evidence that some echinacea preparations may be useful for treating colds in adults, while other preparations did not seem to be helpful. In addition, echinacea has not been shown to reduce the number of colds that adults catch. Only a small amount of research on echinacea has been done in children, and the results of that research are inconsistent. A note about safety: Few side effects have been reported in clinical trials of echinacea; however, some people may have allergic reactions. In one large clinical trial in children, those who took echinacea had an increased risk of developing rashes.

The evidence supporting zinc and antioxidants for slowing the progression of age-related macular degeneration comes predominantly from the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS).14,15 AREDS randomized 3,640 mostly well-nourished adults 55 to 80 years of age with age-related macular degeneration to oral zinc oxide, antioxidants (vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene), zinc plus anti-oxidants, or placebo. For participants with intermediate age-related macular degeneration (i.e., many medium-sized drusen or at least one large drusen) or advanced age-related macular degeneration (i.e., breakdown of light-sensitive cells and support tissues with or without blood vessel fragility and edema [“wet” or “dry” age-related macular degeneration, respectively]), the zinc plus antioxidant group had a modest reduced risk of worsening visual acuity compared with placebo (27 percent, P = .008). However, there were increased hospitalizations because of urinary tract infections and nephrolithiasis in the two zinc arms versus non-zinc arms (11.1 versus 7.6 percent; P = .003).16 It would be prudent for smokers at risk of advanced age-related macular degeneration to refrain from taking the beta-carotene component because of the increased risk of lung cancer in smokers taking this supplement.17 The value of zinc plus antioxidants is unknown in persons younger than 55 years, those with a family history of age-related macular degeneration, and those with a different nutritional status.
