Vitamin C and Zinc are not the same. Vitamin C is a vitamin. Zinc is a mineral. Both, however, are antioxidants. Vitamin and mineral antioxidants include Vitamins A, C, and E, and minerals Zinc and Selenium. There are, however, other organic carbon compounds that also have anti-oxidative properties such as polyphenols and flavonoids... I can see your confusion as many people take Vit. C and/or Zinc as a natural cold prevention/remedy. However, among the nutritional community and according to the American Dietetic Association, there is no clinically significant evidence that's supports the idea that over-supplementing will prevent or cure a cold. Once you receive 100% of the daily value of any vitamin or mineral, your body will either excrete it via urine or feces (in the case of the water soluble vitamin C) or store it in your adipose tissue and other organs (in the case of fat soluble vitamins like A,D,E, and K). Storing too much of a vitamin is dangerous and will cause toxicity.

What is zincum aceticum 2x?
Homeopathy holds that "like heals like" and is proven effective for most. In homeopathic remedies a particular substance used as the basis for a treatment and it is diluted with a inert substance such as water or milk sugar until there are fey few or no molecules of the basis substance left. However, something IS left that is not measurable in a laboratory. It actually works, unless the individual is absolutely convinced that it will not work. The homeopathic name is the chemical formula written in its Latin name, so zincum aceticum 2x is zinc acetate (the zinc salt of acetic acid) diluted 1:100 with inert substance. However, the one counter intuitive thing about homeopathic remedies is that a less concentrated substance actually has a greater effect on the human body. So, the higher the x number or c number, the more dilute and powerful the remedy. Products containing zincum aceticum 2x has been proven against cold symptoms.
