A new study reveals that a throat spray containing Mucosal Immune Complex (MIC) significantly reduced common cold symptoms when combined with aspirin. Developed by Applied Biological Laboratories, the treatment known as Biovanta targets the root cause of cold symptoms - inflammation - providing a novel approach to managing this prevalent illness.

This means that the participants were randomly assigned to receive either the treatment or the placebo . Neither the researchers nor the participants knew who got which, ensuring that the results weren’t influenced by expectations or bias.Treatment 1: MIC spray with 6 mg aspirin and a placebo tablet.Treatment 3: MIC spray with 6 mg wintergreen oil and a 325 mg aspirin tablet.
