Too much packaging
The product I ordered was great, but I couldn’t believe that they package that one little box of pills and a box that was almost one cubic foot. And the second items I received (multivitamins) were in a similarly huge and mostly empty box. Please try less packaging!

Works just like the packages says.
This truly worked for me. Had flu like symptoms, mainly painful cough and bronchial congestion. Literally within minutes it started easing up and continued feeling better for hours.

Works well but too BIG
Good product and works well but as Horrific stated, IT'S TOO BIG! My husband is 84 and has great difficulty swelling your monster pill. Why can't it be made two pills like many other needing to be large doses in pill form separated into two?

Side Effects
Works WELL . HOWEVER. I always have a nasty side effect of sulfur smelling urine. So much so, that I won't take this medicine if I know I'm going to be around people.
