Cold + Flu Relief Berry Chewables

These are great. Medication is usually associated with side effects. Umcka on the other hand tastes good (it doesn't taste astonishing but doesn't taste bad at all, very easy to take) and has no side effects whatsoever. You just take it worry-free, even if you're not sure you're sick! These do run out fast when you're sick though so I wouldn't take these willy nilly (if you're sick it recommends taking 4-5 tablets a day and there are 20 in a box, you'd be out in a few days).From the umcka website - What are some of the symptoms Umcka® Cold + Flu addresses?Aches & PainsFever and chillsSore throatHoarsenessCoughChest Congestion / BronchitisRunny / Stuffy NoseSneezingSinus / Head CongestionHeadacheOut of these, I can so far (after using a box worth and on my second box) say that these effectively treat sore throat, hoarseness, cough, chest congestion, and runny/stuffy nose. I'm not sure about headache (I haven't had headache but I'm not sure if that's because of umcka) but I can say that these have gotten rid of my last sickness and is keeping my current illness at bay. It's preventing it from getting any worse and is helping the symptoms too. Don't take this as an expert opinion, but umcka seems to be just as good as guaifenesin (Mucinex brand) is at helping loosening mucus. I got some guaifenesin today and tried it instead of umcka and it doesn't seem to have any greater effect on mucus than the umcka did.Sambucus vs UmckaThis is something I really had no idea about when I was purchasing these two. There isn't much information on these two products (they should be more popular than they are). I tried Sambucus and Umcka side to side and in conjunction and can not see what the difference is (it's hard to measure short-term results).Sam Montana on knoji.com asked Nature's Way about Sambucus and Umcka and this is a portion of the reply he received."Umcka is not a product you use as a preventative it is used when a problem is present.Sambucus is a product that can be taken to help prevent a serious illness during the cold and flu season. I would look at using this product to prevent and use Umcka as a good partner if you do come down with something. Thank you"After reading this I found this to be true. Umcka may actually be better for relieving symptoms but Sambucus is better at preventing a cold or flu from ever starting or preventing it in the early stages.

best ever for cold and flu symptoms I use it for fibromyalgia aches and pains when I feel like I'm getting a flare up and it works very well is absolutely no side effects or interactions with regular traditional medications which is very very important. I use it at the first onset of symptoms, either cold /flu like symptoms, fibro symptoms, or any other hint of something coming on... every 2 to 4 hours and it works great it's my favorite I always keep a box on hand I'm never without it. I find I can get it much cheaper on Amazon then I can in the health food stores unless the health food stores having a sale... which is not often. this has been a bad flu season and woke up feeling like i got hit by a truck on friday afternoon and exhausted, no energy, head nose ear congestion, using umcka every 2 to 4 hours while awake, less during the night, by sat evening i was feeling human again...♡♡♡

I'm not a doctor or in the medical profession, so take my advice with a grain of salt. At any sign of a sore throat or any illness at all that isn't tummy related, I chew one of these. Nobody in our family has gotten you know what. Some but not all of us are vaccinated. Some of us still wear masks when we go out but at least one person in our house does not. We all use this product and brand (other items like the syrup). We believe this is part of why we are so healthy and strong. It tastes great, too. The price seems to fluctuate a bit but I suppose there may be supply chain issues or higher than usual demand at the current moment in history. I love it and am glad we found out about Umcka. Anyone I know who takes it also hasn't caught that thing that's been going around.

The product is good BUTNext time you send it out put cardboard in the bag .. or use another method of shippingThe pills get Smashed

I tried both Umcka Cold and Flu & the plain Umcka and didn’t notice a remarkable difference in either product. Both had similar results for us.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.

Okay

I have used these before. It looks like the packaging has changed but seems to be the same great item.These are wonderful and need support chewables that you take a few times a day at the on-site of just not feeling that great.Again, I’ve used this brand for many years and Lovett UMCA products.They taste fine. They are a little sweet so if that is a dealbreaker for you then maybe not this one but I don’t mind. I’ll take the benefits over a little bit of the sugar.Again I’ve used these for years and will continue to buy them!Thank you, nature’s way!!!
