Glen Davison researches the effects of training and exercise on the immune system and the body's resistance to infections. The main focus is evaluating products and measures that can help prevent upper respiratory tract infections, such as the common cold. Glen Davison and his research team have been studying the effects of ColdZyme® since 2017 and published the first study four years ago.

"This study is now complete, and we are in the process of completing all the final analysis, etc. We hope to publish the full results in peer-reviewed scientific results later this year. The findings are really exciting, and the reduction in the duration of illness (reduced by about five days) can be of real practical benefit to athletes and the wider population." says Professor Glen Davison.

“Initial observations announced in September last year have shown that symptoms are milder and that illness duration is shorter. The latest data, from more than a total of 100 study participants, continue to validate the initial findings, and the swap analysis shows lower viral load (for Rhinovirus, the most common URT causing pathogen). We are confidently awaiting the completion of Professor Glen Davison’s study and the final results.”      says Claus Egstrand, CEO of Enzymatica.

The study is investigator-initiated, prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled, and randomized. The study includes roughly 160 athletes in endurance sports, divided into two groups, where one received ColdZyme and the other a placebo. The participants have kept a training diary and filled in a daily questionnaire about symptoms in the upper respiratory tract. When participants experienced symptoms, they took throat samples and began using the mouth spray as instructed.
