Ive been a classical singer for over 15 years and this product has saved many a performance during cold season. This was suggested to me a long time ago by my voice teacher and in musicals and theater, many are catching on to it as a backstage remedy. It doesnt taste that great but for soothing a sore throat it does wonders. I even used it as a desperate last ettempt to be able to sing through laryngitis and it worked.
