Gan Mao Ling ECONOMY SIZE, 500 ct, Plum Flower

Gan Mao Ling is a wonder to prevent the onset of a cold. I do not follow the directions of taking 4/time, 3x/day. Instead, I take two at onset of symptoms, and then one every hour. There's less upset on my stomach spacing out the pills. Also, the formula has changed somewhat; there is no longer a sugar coating. Now there is the original formula without coating. There is a slight taste of licorice. Having studied Chinese Medicine, I find this taste to be normal and authentic.

I take these every time I feel a cold or flu coming on and it stops it, usually within 24 hours. If I wait too long, it may take two days and I have to take them with honey loquat syrup. These little pills are amazing!Update: I had the sinus infection from Hell yesterday. I took 5 pills when I got home from work, along with 2000 mg of vitamin C and two oregano softgels and honey loquat syrup. I also drank two cups of green tea. 3 hours later I took more plum flower and honey loquat and went to bed. I woke up bright and early with no more sinus pressure! No fever, no sore throat, nothing! I'm feeling great! This stuff is worth it's weight in gold!

The flavor isn’t an issue, as the tablets are swallowed.I’ve been using this product for years, I’ve found it to be highly effective. If taken at the first sign of getting sick, it has reduced the severity of the symptoms

Using this stuff I staved off a cold for weeks and weeks. I could feel it trying to get me, but it didn't! Not til I screwed up and went without sufficient sleep two nights in a row. Then it got me. But I think if I hadn't done that, I would've stayed well all winter, which for me is a miracle. This stuff works much better than other Chinese herbs I've tried, including Cold Snap and Zin Chiao. Highly recommended, completely worth the price, small easy-to-take and EFFECTIVE pills. Yay for Chinese herbs!!

I've been using Plum Flower brand Gan Mao Ling for years now. Great for warding off sickness.I have 2 tips for you: suck on 5 of them at a time and let them dissolve in your mouth. They are more effective that way. Yes they taste gross, but you get used to it when you know it's keeping you from getting sick. Also, always take them when you fly. Great for staving off germs from being in planes.

Good

I find Gan Mao Ling to be very effective at halting the onset of colds and flus if I heavily dose myself immediately on feeling the initial symptoms. My acupuncturist recommended 6 tablets 4 times daily rather than the bottle's recommendation of 4 tablets 3 times daily. That means I go through 24 tablets a day. The normal size 100 tablet bottle only last 4 days, so this 500 tablet container makes a lot of sense to have around.

I literally dont have enough good things to say about this product. I have used it for 8+ years now and was originally recommended from my herbalist. I take Gan Mao when ever I am starting to feel sick and it immediately stops the sickness in its tracks. I will take 3 pills, 3x a day for 3 days. I am not kidding you when I say I haven't had a cold in years!!! I keep this on hand at all times and I even take it a few days prior to traveling to help prevent me from getting sick. Even my husband takes it now when he is starting to feel sick and he was the BIGGEST skeptic for any herbal or natural remedies. YOU NEED THIS!!! I have shared this product with over a dozen of my friends and they are all believers now.
