Canadian Study Of Colds And Kids: Positive Safety Results For Ginseng Extract

Anything missing from this hype piece?

"Positive findings of a safety study involving children and a highly touted botanical extract (COLD-fX) show promise for its future development for kids as a Canadian cold and flu remedy. The results appear in the August, 2008 issue of Pediatrics - the official journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics.

The randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled Canadian trial which was conducted in collaboration with the University of Alberta in Canada was designed to measure the safety and tolerability of COLD-fX for treatment of cold and flu in children. Acute three-day doses of COLD-fX were well tolerated with no serious adverse events, or differences in adverse events versus the placebo group. The research was also successful in determining effect size, which enables appropriate statistical planning of a potential efficacy study."

Oh yeah.

That the stuff actually works.

This piece of crap was written by the company that sells the "highly touted botanical extract (COLD-fX)" and likely POS.

Caveat emptor.

The scum remain on the offensive.
