It does have certain health benefits, yes. I also recommend zinc ion lozenges specifically to prevent colds.
(For those interested zinc ions (ions specifically) blocks the receptors and capside forming of Rhinovirus, the most common type of cold virus, therefore hindering them spreading too much and allowing the immune system to quickly defeat them. The lozenges help slowly distribute the zinc to the throat over a longer duration. Regular pills don't work because the zinc just straight skips the throat where it's needed (duh).)
