We use it for about a week or so before the kids go back to school/college in September to give their immune systems a bit of a boost and at the first sign of a cold or anything I take 6 tablets a day and whatever the bug was if it does develop into anything certainly doesn't last very long. Don't take it for any longer than 8 weeks as your body can become too used to it and then it is not as effective
I agree with Jules, it is very effective if i take it just as soon as I feel the first symptoms of a cold and it definitely (at least) shortens the length of my colds - although i can't remember the last time I had a proper cold.

Some people will say there is no scientific proof that it works - but if it works for me in practice then it doesnt really matter to me about lab tests!
The trouble with herbal remedies is that most of them haven't been tested scientifically so we don't know if they have side-effects or interfere with other medication.
It usually takes a few weeks for herbal supplements to actually take efect on the body
My son reacons that it cut down the effects and duration of glandular fever considerably. We use it as a suppliment to guard against flu, colds getting worse and the low time that often comes with the onset of winter. No ill effects for us.
