"This medicine is a lifesaver! Works for everyone, even me and I'm pregnant! It tastes delicious, so much that my daughter wants it even when she doesn't need it! The only issue I have is it goes quickly when people are sick and it is expensive. But very effective."

"Product was shipped promptly and in good order. I would order other products from this vendor again but not Umcka. I do not feel that that Umcka shortened the duration of my cold. I will try it again in order to give it an honest trial, but I felt it was completely ineffective the first time I took it. I did follow the instructions exactly and took it at the first sign of my cold. The cold lasted for about 10 days and followed the usual course that I normally experience. I usually get one or two colds per year and will try this product again."

"I have been using Umcka Coldcare for about 4 years. My husband is a liver transplant patient and has a suppressed immune system. We were worried about him getting more colds than normal and perhaps having worse symptoms...but with Umcka he and I both ward off most colds and if we do come down with one it is much less symptomatic and the duration is reduced by at least 50% if not more. We also use it before and during long flights with great results. I just can't get along without it. I work in pharmacy and am exposed to many things...Umcka is my "insurance" and during the cold and flu season I use it pretty regularly."
