As an allergy/asthma sufferer, I can tell you that sometimes, the right throat drop can mean the difference between coughing all afternoon, and being able to soothe that tickle or sore throat quickly.
I used to use a couple of well known brand name throat drops, but always hated to buy them, because they take so long to suck them down to nothing. And if you chew them, well, that kinds defeats the purpose of using them. With these Pine Brothers Softish drops I can suck on them, bite them a little off and on, and sooth my throat in a matter of minutes, instead of taking much longer to suck on a hard throat lozenge.
We got to try the new flavors - Sugar-Free Wild Cherry and Vitamin C Orange. I still haven’t been able to decide which is my favorite, because I like them both. I use them at work when my throat starts getting too dry from running my heater constantly, and from the effects of all of the allergy meds I take. I also keep a bag in the car, and by my chair at home.
They are called Softish Throat Drops, because they are just that - softish. They are not soft enough to just chew, but they are not hard either. The gum arabic and plant glycerin combine to make a drop that coats your throat to soothe and heal it. I didn’t expect them to work as well as they do, especially since they do not have all the additional additives and artificial ingredients. They are gummy and yummy and work really well.
The flavors are great - I usually gravitate to Cherry and Orange flavors anyway, so these would have been my first choices on the store shelf. Another plus is the fact that they are gluten free (and vegan also). Gluten seems to be one of the ingredients that several members of my family have an intolerance for.
You can only find these in a few select locations. The Sugar Free Cherry can be purchased at Harris Teeter, Harmon, and ShopRite. The Vitamin C Orange is available at Kinney Drug. And you can, of course, find them on their website.
I got my Pine Brothers Softish Throat Drops for free, and my throat is very thankful!
