How Umcka® Works
Unlike other cough, cold and sinus remedies that simply mask symptoms, Umcka ColdCare is a breakthrough natural medicine that actually helps you recover faster.
A New Kind of Medicine
Umcka ColdCare is a 1X tincture of Pelargonium sidoides (EPs 7630), a medicinal plant unique to South Africa. In clinical studies, EPs 7630 not only relieves symptoms associated with common colds, but also shortens the duration and reduces severity of throat, sinus and bronchial irritations. It also helps loosen mucus, making coughs more productive and naturally relieves congestion, cough, headache, hoarseness and minor aches.
Studies suggest that the active ingredient in Umcka works in several ways. It works on the immune system to help support the body’s own natural antiviral defense mechanisms and acts as an antimicrobial agent. Additionally, it provides mucolytic actions.
The Results
- Shortened Duration
Adults with acute bronchial symptoms were able to return to work nearly two days earlier with EPs 7630.
