Review: I started taking this stuff (in various forms) about 8 years ago. I have not had a cold since. My personal (again PERSONAL) experience has been that, if I take this every four hours at the first hint of a cold for about 24-48 hours total, it is nipped in the bud. It does that better than any other OTC or herbal cold remedy I've tried (meaning pretty much all of 'em). The other thing that is amazing about this stuff is how well it can soothe throat, bronchial, and even nasal irritations of any kind. No other product I know can do that, short of steroids. And safely, too. I have given it to kids, the elderly, my dogs, even pet rats- all with great success! Umcka comes in several forms, so a bit of a rundown: Liquid is best, but the lozenges are good in a pinch if you can find them. The cherry syrup is the yummiest, great for kids. The original drops (this) are my fave, very concentrated (the dose is 1 ml) & sugar free. I generally prefer the alcohol free, though, esp. for kids & animals. But these are fine & only have 13% alcohol. Both have a very mild, rather pleasant flavor. Nothing to pinch your nose over, I promise! Umcka also makes a cold AND FLU formula. It helps with symptoms, but, truthfully, I prefer the original. The reason being that, soothing airway irritation (as this does very well) CAN keep a rhinovirus (cold) or other upper respiratory infection from getting a foothold if you catch it early. Then its just a matter of rest and good nutrition to support your immune system. The flu is a much more complex (& more dangerous) illness. So, herbal treatments can't really do more than soothe the symptoms. So go with the original cold care. And get a flu shot!
Review: The main ingredient in Umcka, pelargonium, is the only thing that has been shown to decrease the length of bronchitis infections. Not antibiotics, not cough drops. I am a doctor and I spend much of my time seeing colds and coughs. Take some Umcka (this is the best value version of their product) at the first "tingles" of a cold and save yourself lots of suffering. I do. Cheers! -=-=-=- Edit: 4 years later Reading this review above does make me want to clarify things somewhat. Umcka is an herbal remedy that more often than not does a great job treating most of the common viral illnesses that most of us deal with a couple times a year. Symptoms like: cough, nasal congestion, sore throat, body aches, runny nose, etc are, FOR THE MOST part, caused by viruses and antibiotics do not help with infections caused by viruses. There are a couple things which are caused by bacteria and are worth seeing your physician if you are experiencing these symptoms. 1. Strep throat: high fever, severe body aches and malaise and most frequently whitish (pus) discharge on your tonsils at the back of your throat. Is not accompanied by a cough in most situations. 2. Sinusitis: MOST of the time this is caused by viruses, but if you have having nasal congestion, pain in your sinuses, post-nasal drip, headaches AND symptoms last more than 7-10 days, then it is worth seeing your doctor, although treatment with antibiotics will only shorten the course by a couple days. Frequently, if you treat your sinusitis initially with Umcka, you'll take care of it before it can become secondarily infected with bacteria, so the above advice still applies. 3. Pneumonia: typical symptoms- cough, fever, shortness of breath, sometimes chest pain. Generally, ANY time you feel short of breath, you should see your doctor. Don't be taking Umcka for these symptoms- it would not help with pneumonia. These are broad rules and your situation may not apply to them, so ask your doctor if you have questions about Umcka. For what it's worth, Umcka has another product now, Umcka Intensive, which also has elderberry which seems to be good for viruses as well. I plan to to get that version in the future anyways.

I don't know of any scientific studies proving that this works for treating the common cold, but having used it for a number of years, I think it does. Of course, I can't be my own control.
