Cold -fX: anyone familiar with this product

[CanadaSue]

I've been hearing about it for a while & a number of pharmacists I've spoken to about it seem impressed by it. I've had a look at their literature, including the results of several clinical studies & I don't see that there are any downsides to this medication - it's a ginseng product. Has anyone taken it & what do they think about it?

Our Walmart offers 60 capsules for $25 Canadian - not bad at all.

Here's part of the literature available:

The URL shown for pharmacy use has some good info.

CS, Ginseng is considered a primo herb for just about anything by the Asians. I personally do not get along with the Asian herbs per se so have no experience to relate other than it is a respected herb here and there and really does what they day it does - for most folks.

OMG. Just another advertizing ploy of selling poor old American Ginseng. There are I believe 4 ginsengs.
American Wild Ginseng is the most prized. We export more of this plant to China than we receive from them of their ginsings.

American is much different. It has cooling propertys. The rest of the gensings have hot. This is why the hot gensing is used on spurts. Not on an on-going base or it depletes the adrenals.

American can is used on a daily basis. It is a tonic herb. Meaning it builds the body and glands. Many call it a glandular for this reason.

So in a sense? This company did not do the testing. It is saying that there was testing. It is a new break through? Not. Just another cheap ploy to sell a very old and valued herb. And then they call it some number to keep us guessing.
