There is NO Evidence that COLD-FX works. I am tired of their advertisements. "A systematic review of a small number of heterogeneous trials found insufficient evidence that North American ginseng extract (Panax quinquefolius), or COLD-FX, reduces the incidence or severity of the common cold. However, ginseng may reduce the total number of days with upper respiratory tract symptoms by about 6 days if used daily for up to 4 months. The main side effect was gastrointestinal upset. There are no efficacy studies for use of ginseng in children or for treatment of the common cold. In conclusion, evidence is insufficient to recommend ginseng for the prevention [SORT B] or treatment [SORT C] of the common cold."
