Zicam is basically a Zinc suppliment. Zink is thought to be a natural antiviral. So is Lysine, coconut oil, Olive leaf and Creatine. Cold sore sufferers often take these to fight off cold sores. Antivirals are thought to interfere with the ability of a virus to multiply in the body. Your immune system still has to kill the invading virus. A strong immune system is still your best defense.
