EZC Pack Not Easy

I was introduced to EZC Pak at the Natural Products Expo West. I was told that it would defend against some pretty virulent strains such as hospital borne diseases. Hyperbole is an inherent component of exhibitor conduct at large scale expos such as NPEW so I didn't completely disregard the product.

Come Comic-Con 2015, I thought I'd give it a try since it states that it's a 5-day Tapered Immune Support Pack. I don't even know what that means, but since SDCC is 5 days long, I thought I'd give it a try. Turns out you have to pop pills for 5 days.

The first day you pop 2--an Echinacea capsule and Zinc capsule--every six hours. Day 2 is every 8 hours then follow that up with every 12 hours until the supply is gone. And then what? What supposedly happens? It doesn't support your immune system for 5 days; it's a five-day regimen which is pretty difficult to sustain. Yes, I want to wake up or stop my day to take 2 pills every six hours. And why would I want to take that many pills?

I couldn't keep the schedule. Although I didn't get sick, I wouldn't necessarily blame or attribute sickness to the pills I did take.
