Mouth & Throat Spray Reducing a Cold by up to 3.5 Days - Deactivates Cold viruses - Use at First Signs of a Cold (Scratchy Throat, runny Nose) - Menthol Flavour 20ml

I must preface my entire review with: I am currently combating a cold or some bug at the moment! The key is to start using this stuff *immediately* and I'm talking any such first glimmer of 'icky blahs'. I have been staving off a cold all week. Normally - as per priors, by now I'd have been one with the bed pillows and adorned in pyjamas with tissues peeking out of every possible pocket.This IS a teeny tiny little bottle. Not much bigger than a nail polish bottle!It has a semi-long neck to the spray pump itself - which is secured to the top of the bottle via screw cap.There is NO child safety mechanism to this spray, however. (If they did get a hold of it, they'd be fumbling with it for a while before they got it to 'spray' and even then it'd most likely be on their hands). It CAN be used for children - but seek professional help.I got this because my husband is a regular carrier and often exposed to viral invaders at his job. People go in snotting and coughing all over everyone and everyTHING year-round. Especially so during these winter months! (December, nearly the new year!) I got two bottles, one that he could take to work (easily tucks into his velcro lunch bag) And one for home.We both started using this - and will say - it's bloody amazing. we BOTH should have by right - have had at least a dozen colds by now!This NEEDS to be taken/used in committed/regular fashion. BE vigilant!We keep the primary bottle at the tea tray by the kettle. A frequented SPOT - so that you are reminded to take it!If it's a minor impending infraction/invader.. then two pumps in the morning/start of day, and one early evening (or before bed).If it's a 'live cold' on the prowl and you're having difficulty - I'd go so far as to say 3-4 times a day! (two pumps EACH time) Open wide! Spray to the BACK of the throat!There IS a 'tinge' of taste to it, not a lot! (I've had FAR worse!)You really don't want to drink anything directly following (potentially 10-15 mins following) give it a chance to absorb and get into the system.This may seem rather expensive! It did to me at first, but now (as I'm returning to buy a 3rd round!!!) I'ts SO WORTH IT!By right perhaps, I should get the larger size, more cost effective, but given that we need two bottles, I have stuck with this size so my husband can take and use his at work if need be! (And ohhhh does he!!!)We both will ask now (it's a regular question!!) Have you used the spray?!?! (oops no! I haven't! or yes!! oh I have!)VERY effective and cannot exist without it!The cold I am warding off RIGHT now - is fading and failing beautifully!With VERY regular exposure to colds and flu - and my husband usually gets the harsh brunt of things (I will get the off shoots! and it's down right miserable!) - we've not had ONE OLD *AT ALL* this entire season.... *touches all wood in house* lol!!I know it's expensive, if you're leary - and really want to try but are uncertain, go with the smallest bottle.IF/when you receive it, read up on it a bit more - but DO be committed and vigilant to taking and using it.As with any medicinal 'course' - you want to be VERY regular with taking this 'medicine'.I also have to add, that with this potential cold looming, I have also been taking echinacea, garlic, Vitamin C and zinc very regularly. (I have had a fluctuating sore throat, and a hovering feeling of the 'achy icky blahs' -- its' GOING away.... It's trying! but I'm nailing this thing! (I have had this potential invader before since taking this spray and it's FAILED the colds/flu's have FAILED)VERY good product, I can't recommend it enough!But as with ANYTHING - there's ALWAYS a 50/50 chance it may not be right for you.Double check the ingredients, read anything by the company on this page - if you have any concerns DO contact the seller about it. (You may also potentially ask 'what if it doesn't work for me and I've spent this much money!' you might be surprised --- if all else - just contact them for more details and ask a truck load of questions!I WAS a sceptical! Despite that I'm an alternative healthcare practitioner! Doubting Debbie no more - *Awesome stuff!* And I'd have to say This is NOW a regular feature to our tea tray (by the kettle) so we know where it is AT ALL TIMES...Just BE vigilant taking it daily when something is trying to invade!!! (Which in this house, is VERY Regularly!)It DOES last a bit! (I'd say with very regular use 2x's a day this little bottle has lasted for TWO people for about 1 1/2 months.. I was thinking it wouldn't even last 'the month' but we've STILL Got some in the bottle, it WILL potentially be TWO months by the time our next bottle arrives (and if colds/flu's are 'less' or dormant, the bottle will last longer!)Highly, highly strongly absolutely recommend (OR Get in touch with distributor, and ask questions!!)- perfectly safe imo! and well worth the investment! (sorry I'm being repetitive, I just can't recommend this enough!) GET SOME LOL :)

Arrived really quickly works well

I used this when I thought I was getting my husbands cold .. I didn’t get the cold ?

Reliefs sore throat very effectively. It has sweet, nice taste, but make sure to spray it directly in your throat as there is a certain amount of numbness it causes. The effect lasts me for about four hours, but I guess this can be different from person to person. I'm happy with it, but the volume isn't ample for the suggested daily dosage.

Been using it throughout the last winter season. Not sure if it had any effect in reducing the chance of catching a cold or speeding up the recovery. Quite pricy, though.

Truly love this stuff, I always seemed to get a cold when the season comes around. Previously I used the First Defence spray by Vicks but I find that horrendously irritating and I always end up sneezing it out (sorry to be graphic). I first found this in Boots before there were any Amazon reviews and thought it would be the usual quackery, I am so pleased to be wrong.I buy a few bottles at a time and keep one in my work bag, it has seriously changed how I feel when the cold/flu season hits. It had its most serious test this past Christmas when visiting family who all had well developed coughs, colds and sneezes. Despite being in close contact, eating and Christmas hugs etc with the infected, only myself and my girlfriend escaped the holidays without developing any illness, while others who visited were dropping like flies soon after.This stuff works, the key is to be regular with its use especially when coming in close contact with unwell people. Also don't forget it is not some sort of vaccine, you should still wash your hands and face regularly with warm soap and water. One other tip is don't drink soon after spraying, I know of people who spray it, hate the taste and swig from their mug of tea and yet expect it to work. A great product that takes some of the fear out of the cold and flu season.

It's one of those things that you'll never really know if it worked or not without going back in time and not using it.That being said, for the last 3 years I've been using this every time I've had a sore throat or been around someone with one... And have yet to have a severely bad one that's lasted more than a few days. There's also legit sounding science behind the main ingredient (a cod derived enzyme). Note, it is NOT vegetarian/vegan.

This is basically sweet water. What a total scam!! It does NOTHING. If you check their website it’s all AI images and the ingredients may sound “chemical” but they basically describe sweet water.There is no menthol taste to it. It’s a sweet spray. Don’t bother if you actually have a sore throat.
