Default Cold MD Review
I know this isnt really a bodybuilding supplement but its an immune building supplement. I felt like I was coming down with a cold yesterday so I bought some of this stuff. I hate colds so I figured I would give it a try. Been my first cold in a long time. I just want to get rid of it as soon as possible.

The product is called ColdMD. It has some nice claims to it but Im not big on extravagent claims as most of you know. It claims to increase immune system resistance 312% and it says it gives you a 94% faster recovery from a cold. So I am putting it to the test.

No, this is not a plug for this product. Ive never tried it and have nothing in it. I will give a fair review like I do everything else. If it proves to be worthless, I will tell you. If it works, I will tell you that too.

Well, day 2 of the cold. Its still here. My throat hasnt been sore (yet), so thats good. I still have some minor congestion but still dont feel all that great. Feel run down. So, the verdict is still out on this stuff.

I am drinking plenty of fluids too as well as heavy dosages of Vitamin C and glutamine powder. This is the only time I use glutamine is when I have a cold.

Interesting product. I take more VitC than that daily. Does it not say how much NAC is included?

No it doesnt give an exact amount. It says a Immunigen Proprietary Blend of 1353 mgs. and all those substances are listed. The litte "cross" emblem says.... Daily Value not established. So I dont really know the exact amount.

Yeah, right now Im taking extra vitamin C. Im taking in around 5-6 grams daily.

Day 3. The congestion isnt bad. My throat feels irritated this morning. Not sure if its the cold or the smoke I inhaled at the bowling alley lastnight. Oh well, I will continue to take my dosages.

Good thread Nite. I've seen this product being advertised like crazy but frankly I find it safe to assume it's just another over-marketed product. "Doctor recommended"..pfft. These companies need to find better marketing tools.

I just stick to my tea If you want something good for sore throat just gargle some salt water and it'll be fine. Also I heard marshmallow tea is good for you (especially coughs) but I haven't tried it sooo don't if your not sure.

Echinachea has been proven to have no effect on a cold.

Day 5 - Still have the cold. Lastnight and today is the worst I have felt. I definitely say this stuff is worthless.

I wont be buying it again. I will continue to take my dosages of Vitamin C and drink my fluids.

My father does this as well but he throws in some vinegar into that salty water. It smells horrible but it completely kills anything in my throat...for the moment anyways. lol I wouldve never thought I would hear of anyone using the same method

where is the proof that echinachea has no effect on cold? it strengthens immune system like vit c so it has to help fight off the cold or flu.

well i believe in it, cause it has worked for me. maybe its all in my head, but if i believe it works, then it works for me

You must save a lot of money on supps. You should try believing you'll never have to workout a day in your life to get big.

j.k with ya
