Just ok
I’m going to be the odd duck out when I say this but.. I didn’t feel like this helped as much as I anticipated. It did provide noticeable relief, however not to the degree traditional cold meds give you. Personally, I prefer the syrup.

These really help if you feel a cold coming on, even helps with allergies! Easy to take, just let it dissolve on the tongue, don't chew them.

I started taking this when I felt a sinus infection coming on. I immediately felt a change in my sinuses after the first dose and by 24 hours later (taking it every 3 hours) I feel significantly better. Highly recommend!

Didn't work for me
This tastes fine but taking one every 3 hours is a lot, and I didn’t notice any changes to my symptoms. I didn’t experience relief.

Homeopathy for the win!
I got this for my husband the same day he was coming on with cold symptoms (watery eyes, itchy nose, sneezing, etc.). He got in two doses before bed and the next day woke up completely back to normal.

AMAZING
This works so well!! I work with around people and the moment I feel my first little sore throat I start taking these and in 24hours my symptoms are gone! You have to start right when you feel your symptoms start though for it to fully truly work so I keep this on hand!! I also don’t take any medication but just herbs so this is something I absolutely love!!

Shortens Colds
This stuff is the best for colds. It really does shorten them and make them easier. Before I started taking this my colds would last 5-6 days, now they last about 4 days. Wonderful! I recommend this to everyone!

Didn't work
I thought it was working at first. Took 3 total - one every 3 hours then stopped. Started taking 2 days after symptoms started. Didn’t work for me so I didn’t want to keep trying to take them.
