An old Germ Defence package with a fun illustration of a man sneezing.  The package is a few years old, which was the last time I also used the product.  From what I can recall, I think the stuff may have actually helped a bit.  At any rate, I do recall liking the fizzy orange flavour.

According to the package description of the product:

An effervescent cold formula containing 7 herbal extracts, antioxidants, electrolytes and amino acids including 1000mg of Vitamin C to help boost the body’s defence against menacing germs….
