    Is this good for making your pee expensive?

      No. Better to buy at full price elsewhere if you want to make it more expensive.

        Sick burn. I mean, when you’re sick it can burn. The ginger might help here

    Go the local sauna and get a good stream and you'll be good.

    • tharlow on 29/06/2022 - 11:35

      What if one already has a good stream?

      Would not recommend going to the local sauna and asking for a stream - unless you're into that sort of thing

  • OzBerghainer on 29/06/2022 - 11:17

    Me seeing this with the worst strep throat you could ever imagine

    • dojomojo on 29/06/2022 - 11:37

      This will do nothing for your throat.

    Any health care professionals on OzB care to share their 2c on this?

    • j4ice on 29/06/2022 - 11:35

      Just look for the AUST L/R label on the box:

      TGA:
      Medicines with AUST R and AUST L(A) are assessed for efficacy, while those with AUST L are not.

      • toasty on 29/06/2022 - 13:01

        And this product has relatively high selenium so be sure to heed the warning regarding toxicity on the packet. Too many people pop these things like lollies.

      Definitely worth two cents

  • clot10 on 29/06/2022 - 11:35

    Not a doctor or medical advisor, but I believe these products are like multi-vitamins, but more focused on vitamins and minerals that support immune health. I think the idea behind it is, if you do get a cold, it won't be as severe or long-lasting as your body is strengthened to deal with it. When it comes to colds, unfortunately there is no cure but medicine to help alleviate symptoms and help you rest easy

      Or this product contains trillions of nanobot soldiers that immediately rush to sacrifice themselves on the front line

        Didn't want to give out the scientists secret

      Also not a doctor or medical advisor, but until I see a scientific peer reviewed study on the efficacy of this and similar products I will not waste my money on them

    If you want something that actually works against colds and has scientific research behind it go get this(Vicks first defence nasal spray). It has even proven effective against COVID in the studies that I read. Do note that it is only effective if it is used early on and at first signs of a cold by stopping viral replication. Mechanism of action seems to alter the pH and use the microgel/hydrogel to trap and eliminate the virus. Given enzymes are pH specific, it helps lower viral replication and hopefully trap the virus particles in the gel which is maintained at the lower pH.

    For those interested in one of the studies

      Incline the nozzle outwards in the direction of your ear.

      Hmmm. What if one has two ears?

      That "study" that you have a link to was written by - D Megiddo the CEO of Nasus Pharma, the manufacturer of Taffix (presumably the same stuff in Vicks). It just endorses their own product.

      • dy4me on 29/06/2022 - 12:45

        Yes and has to be peer reviewed to be published.

        • toasty on 29/06/2022 - 13:10

          It is an observational prospective open label user survey, which is about the lowest quality evidence possible and commonly used for marketing purposes.

          Basically, it has very little value as evidence and @Matt88 is correct to raise the fact that this survey was conducted and paid for and published by the manufacturer as a concern.

          EDITED because statistical and data analysis was contracted out to an independent company Medistat and peer reviewers on this manuscript have declared receiving an honorarium (they were paid) for their participation as reviewers.

      There's also a Blackmores one which I think is more for prevention https://www.chemistwarehouse.com.au/buy/99000/blackmores-col…
