This stuff works great. I give it to my four year old when I think he is starting to come down with a cold. He actually doesn't mind the taste which says a lot considering he is usually pretty picky and prefers pills over yucky liquids. I always have a bottle of this stuff on hand and it has great ingredients!
wipes out any cold
My sister reffered this product to me after it cleared up her 3 year olds son's warts he had multiplying on his side, nothing worked but this did. She also used it for colds, when she saw one coming on she'd give this to her boys 3 times a day for a couple days and gone. My 7 month old daughter got a runny nose from haging with the snotty boy and it was gone after 1 day while using this product. She dosen't dig the taste but what can ya do! This stuff works, I just bought 3 so I have pleanty for back up. Also it costs $26 at wholefoods, rip off! Mothernature rules! :)
I like this product
I found this product to be helpful. My daughter is 1 1/2 and in daycare two days a week. Since this fall she has been getting colds one after another. I started her on first defense in december. Since then, she has been doing much better. The number and severity of her colds has decreased significantly.
When used at the first sign of a cold, it does seem to keep it to a very mild one.
I was having a lot of trouble with my 2 1/2 year old getting horrible colds. I was recommended this by someone at a homeopathic pharmacy. If I give it to my son as directed, at the first sign of a cold, it really does seem to keep things to a minimum. His colds have stopped turning into horrible, mucus-ridden affairs, and stay pretty mild. I highly recommend it.
