The average person spends three years of their life suffering from a cold, but now, thanks to a revolutionary new product, it's possible to attack the common cold before it develops.
You are likely to get two to three colds a year, which means 200 colds a lifetime, and a total of three full years of nasty, disruptive cold symptoms.
While medical science has yet to come up with a cure for the common cold, it may now be possible to attack a cold at the first sign of symptoms.
HOW A COLD TAKES HOLD
Cold viruses are everywhere–scientists estimate that there are over 200 different varieties, with new ones discovered every year.
Once you are infected, the cold virus settles at the back of the nose and throat, where it begins to multiply.
At this point, your body begins to show the warning signs of a cold: you may have a sore throat, sneezing, runny nose, or just feel under the weather.
In a few days, the cold will strengthen and you will begin to feel the full-blown symptoms of a cold.
REVOLUTIONARY COLD TREATMENT
New Vicks First Defence is the first product available in New Zealand that attacks and removes the cold virus before it has a chance to develop.
In clinical trials, it has been proven to significantly reduce the chances of developing a cold. It has also been proven to significantly reduce the severity and duration of colds.
HOW IT WORKS
Vicks First Defence is a nasal spray that disarms the virus at the back of the nose and throat, before it’s had the chance to spread and develop.
While most other products only treat the symptoms of a cold, Vicks First Defence attacks a cold at its source, in its earliest stages.
This nasal spray contains a “micro-gel” that travels to the back of the nasal passage where it first traps the virus, then disarms it, and finally works with your body to flush it out of your system.
TAKE IT EARLY
Vicks First Defence is most effective when taken at the “early signs” of a cold, while the virus is still weak.
You can even use it before symptoms appear, if you’ve been in contact with germs or feel at risk’ of getting sick.
The key is to keep it in the cupboard as the cold season approaches, so you can use it as soon as you feel a cold starting.

Vicks First Defence is available in supermarkets and pharmacies nationwide
