Rated several 4s for taste. Participants called it pleasant, tart and smooth. The active ingredient is pectin and other ingredients include sugar and corn syrup. This old favorite was met with nostalgic oohs and aahs by the panel. The taste scores were mostly 4s across, though no one was figuring this product was medicinal.
Active ingredients are pectin and menthol.
The active ingredient, surprise, is menthol. The panelists were split on the taste issue, ranging from 1 to 4, though several panelists said this product would be on their short list if they were experiencing sore throat or cough symptoms no matter what the taste. This Swiss product lists menthol as its active ingredient and offers an herb mixture of angelica root, elder, horehound, hyssop, lemon balm, linden flowers, peppermint, sage and thyme. It rated most 3s for taste. The packaging reviews two studies about zinc and even listed medical journal citations.
