i get sick and cold very easily. if i take it at the first sign of sore throat it will not get any worse. drinking green tea also helps. i now only get 1 or 2 bad colds a year as opposed to 7 or 8

I used to take this as a child because my mom gave it to me when I got a cold. Now that I'm in my upper 20's I've tried it 2 times and it has made me worse giving me what seems like thrush all down my throat and an awful taste in my mouth and loss of appetite.

I give the liquid form to my twins that are 3, when they start to sniffle. They haven't been as sick as they used to.

Anytime I feel a cold coming on (sore throat or sinus congestion) I start a regiment as listed on the bottle (purchased from Walmart) Spring Valley brand. It works great, I haven't had a cold in at least 5 years.

I use this for 30 days on then off for 30. I literally am NEVER sick. Even cold sores stopped. I sent it with my children to college and when everyone else in the dorms were getting colds, they stayed healthy. I team this up with a multi vitamin and proper diet.

I use echinacea for colds or before I think I may be getting sick as it helps stave off colds and the like.
