Nature's Way Umcka Cold Relief Chewables, Homeopathic, Cherry, 20 ct

Good product. Will use it again and it will now be a part of my cold/flu regiment from now on. While ill with pnamonina this year, around the second week of September, I read about this product. It was quite unusual for me to immediately get hit so hard and fast with a cold/pnamonina so early in the season, let alone to become sick with pnamonina (which I have never had before in my life). Usually, prior to the on-set of the cold/flu season I would get my winter supplies, such as, supplements, soups, tissue, etc., yet, this year I was totally unprepared. During my recovery period from having pnamonina, I used this supplement to assure I would not relapse during the first few weeks that I had returned back to work and kept some on supply to catch the beginnings of any symptoms of a cold or flu (as you are to actually take this supplement at the on-set of cold/flu for it to be effective according to what I have read). Because I work within the health industry and aid elderly or fragile healthed individuals, being healthy and pro-active toward combating such infectious illnesses is important toward assuring my clients do not get these sort of illnesses from me and aid myself to be as healthy as possible around those I care for regularly. Also, I did not want to become sick again. Each round pill is individually packaged in a foil container sleeve that comes within a box. There are two foil container sleeves within each box. I recommend to get a few packages, not just one box, when taking this supplement upon the on-set of a cold or flu to be better prepared to take dosage recommendations to better combat winter illnesses, as dosage amount is recommended to take 6 per day. The flavor is quite pleasing to the taste, a berry flavor, and is quite soothing to the throat to relieve soreness. After taking this desolvable supplement, I felt a bit better after taking as well. I did notice that this product seems to aid with coughing and did not prevent coughing. I feel the coughing was necessary for especially myself as I had been recovering from pnamonina and needed to expel any infection within my mucus. This supplement is to melt within your mouth, and is not to be sallowed. I read that using this supplement at the on-set of cold/flu it is designed to minimize the length of the illness and aid toward recovery time faster than if you do not use this supplement. Along with using this supplement, I also used Echinacea (to boost immune system), and Golden Seal Root (for mucus and immune system). This product works for me and I am certain that if I did not use this product during the first few weeks of my recovery from being so ill, I feel a relapse would have happened because immediately when returning back to work, I worked 6 days a week. Also, I feel I am unable to recommend any medically related product because I am not a medical doctor, and with taking any new supplement is is always best to consult your health care professional before adding any new supplement to your health care regeime. For myself, I will continue to use this product from now on.

Best for a cold and soar throat, I have been using them for years

These really do seem to help lessen the length of my colds. Also, stops the coughing within a couple of minutes.

This is my go-to when my 6 year old gets a runny nose and cough. She chews the tablet and the taste is good! We all know how picky kids can be! Best kid friendly medicine and sometimes my 15 year old has to take it if she is sick.

There’s some good research out there about umcka. In addition to other natural ways of reducing the severity and length of colds and flu for my family, I’ve started incorporating this product at the first signs of illness. I started with a chewable, because it is usually my kids that get sick. My son likes the taste of these. They can be pricey when you consider how quickly you’ll go through a box taking it to to 4 times a day. I purchased the same product in a liquid form from another brand: Integrative Therapeutics - V Clear EPs 7630. I’m kind of doing a comparison right now, but I can control the serving size better with the liquid for my younger child, rather than splitting a chewable tablet. As to whether or not this works, this is my third time using it during an illness, and it does seem to work. It’s not a magical thing, but illnesses seem to peak and turn around more quickly. I also am a hard-core believer in elderberry for anything that is suspected viral. Because we do so many other things at the first sign of illness, it’s sometimes hard to know if one thing is working more effectively than others. However, I have found that cutting out dairy and sugar altogether (or at the first sign of sickness), starting this Umcka, Sambucus, echinacea, vitamin C, and immune supporting essential oils, and we just do not seem to get a sick as other people do with the same bug.

So good if you feel like u are getting sick

This stuff is the magic that gets colds gone before they start!! I am a teacher and I swear by this remedy. It was recommended to me by an ER doctor of all people! It works!!!

I was a little reluctant to try this medicine because it is comes from a root based plant in Africa and usually plant based medicine doesn’t work well for me but I needed something to get delivered faster to me and this product was available to be delivered in a few hours. Not to mention i like the fact they were chewable and hopefully tasty and they are!!! So I was willing to risk it and I’m glad I did. It may take a little longer to work but it gave me many hours of relief! I was able to sleep at night and take them during the day and still function well. Taking big pills when your throat is sore is almost impossible for me. Btw warm water with kosher salt is the ticket for relief and healing of a sore throat. Use it like mouthwash and do it several times. Friendly customer advice 😊
