I have been using the zinc lozenges for years. They work very well. The delivery through the online store was quick! Very nice!
It takes a moment to get used to the taste, but the positive effect on a tickly cough is immediately noticeable. I am pleased with it.

On 02 march 2018 by Customer serviceBy 'wishing to conceive', Orthica means that one genuinely intends to become pregnant within a few days, rather than a general desire for pregnancy in the indefinite future.
According to legislation, xylitol can be used without concern in moderation during pregnancy. Orthica is therefore being overly cautious with this statement. This applies to all their products, which often causes unnecessary worry.
You can confidently use these tablets, whether you are already pregnant or wish to become so later, but if you experience loose stools, reduce your intake.
Regarding Orthica's supplements, it is best to choose the Prena Fem pregnancy multivitamin. This provides 15 mg of zinc per daily dose (two soft gels), which is typically more than sufficient.
On 04 november 2015 by Customer serviceIt is preferable to combine it with extra vitamin C and a multivitamin. For instance, the vitamin C chewable tablets and the children's multi orange. If you give 2 tablets of this children's multi per day, it will provide 3 mg of zinc. You can then reduce the intake of Orthica's zinc lozenges to, for example, 3 tablets per day, and maintain it at 1 tablet in the long term.
Please note: lozenges are particularly sensitive to moisture. Always open the jars with dry hands and in a dry environment. Also, try to finish the jars within a few weeks/months after opening, according to the guidelines on the label. It is not advisable to keep an opened jar until the following autumn.
On 31 october 2014 by Customer serviceOrthica has this text on nearly all their products as a general warning (and disclaimer). In many cases, the reason behind it is unclear, as other companies offer similar products without such a warning.
Zinc is indeed important during pregnancy, and pregnancy multivitamins often contain more than three times the amount of zinc found in one of these lozenges. Therefore, regarding the amount of zinc, it is not a problem.
On 15 march 2011 by Customer serviceFor the long term, it is advisable to remain well below 100 mg, for example, 50 mg per day or less. Most zinc supplements contain 20 to 30 mg of zinc per daily dosage. The Health Council considers 25 mg as the maximum for long-term use.
The Zinc lozenges contain 4 mg per tablet and the maximum dosage is 7 per day, equating to 28 mg per daily dosage.
