A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study published in The Journal of Physiology shows that ColdZyme reduced the number of sick days and relieved 6 of 8 cold symptoms compared to placebo. The publication is a collaboration between researchers at the Universities of Kent and Vienna, who examined ColdZyme’s effects using two complementary approaches: a clinical study in active athletes and a novel in vitro model of the human upper airways.
