It does seem to have similar properties to elderberry. At least as an anti-everything agent.

Quote:
Studies have suggested that Umckaloabo exhibits both antimicrobial and immunomodulatory effects. Immunomodulatory means it changes the immune system; in this case it would cause the immune system to attack the virus or bacteria cells. Antimicrobial is a substance that inhibits or kills bacteria, viruses and fungi. If in fact the root extract of the Pelargonium sidoides did cure Charles Stevens of pulmonary tuberculosis, that means that Umcka can cure a disease caused by a bacteria, since tuberculosis is caused by bacteria. Studies have shown that Umcka has antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and immune-boosting properties.

I tried a sample of 2 fast-acting softgels this morning, taken 3 hours apart. The product is Loviral, from Herbs, etc. It promotes respiratory health and stimulates expectoration.

It supports healthy sinuses, throat and lung tissues, and ensures healthy pulmonary inflammatory responses. It contains the roots of Lomatium, Pelargonium (umckaloabo) and Osha. Also includes elderberry, andrographis herb, boneset, honeysuckle, grindelia, elecampane root, echinacea and licorice root, elder flower, yarrow, lobelia...certified organic.

I had a bit of congestion from my hay fever, but I didn't get any results from taking this. It may not have been enough to get it to work, suggested use, take 1 softgel every two-three hours until lung health is restored. Just thought I'd mention this product if anyone wants to check it out.
