Slippery Elm Lozenges, Unflavored, 200 Count

Has helped me reduce the "tickle" in my throat from allergies and am coughing less. Great for letting dissolve in my mouth and taste pleasant. I just purchased my second bottle which both I and my husband use.

I used Thayer's Slippery Elm lozenges for years. Unfortunately, they stopped making them. I've been looking for a replacement ever since. Most of the lozenges I found had other additives. This is the first one I found that is just slippery elm. These tablets are smaller and denser than Thayer's. They're unflavored, but sweetened. The taste is different, but good. I like to let them dissolve in my mouth. It takes a little longer than the Thayers, but they soothe just fine. Glad I found them. I hope they keep selling them.

These have been great for silent reflux. They're not as great if you are in the middle of a coughing fit, but they work great to prevent coughing and the taste is very mild so it doesn't mess up your taste buds. I use them often before bed too so I can sleep through the night without a coughing fit.

Could be made better, like the old Thayers lozenges. Those were much better quality. But these are pretty good 👍4 stars. Thayers get a 5 star. I'm just saying 🤷

Common cough drops like Halls, Ricolah, Luden's, DO NOT WORK, they're basically just comfort food for when you're sick. Got an itchy cough that is DRIVING YOU MAD, maybe keeping you up at night? Suck on some menthal hard candy that DOESN'T STOP YOUR THROAT ITCHING and are 99% sugar which is exactly what you DON'T need while you have a bacterial infection. Great idea! Well, no more! I'm late discovering these little wonders. Seriously, where have slippery elm lozenges been all my life? They aren't loaded with sugar, which is the last thing as sick person needs, and THEY WORK! They control the itch so you don't cough nearly as much and tear up your throat and so you (and your housemates) can sleep at night and get better sooner. My roommate introduced me to the Thayer's slippery elm lozenges. Relief! I used them up and learned they've been discontinued. I can tell you these are just as good. Seem identical in flavor and effectiveness. Very happy. I have ordered more to stock up for next time.

I bought these out of desperation, as my (& everyone else's) favorite, Thayer's Slippery Elm Lozenge, is no more. These are not as nice, but are Slippery Elm when you need it.

Every time I order these, another ingredient is added. When I first ordered them, they contained, as inactive ingredients, fructose, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, and stevia leaf extract. When I ordered them again, they added modified cellulose gum in addition to the aforementioned. And when I ordered a third time, they had added hydroxypropyl cellulose on top of all the others. Each addition has changed the flavor of the lozenge. I wish I could find the original again without the additions.

It’s a shame Thayer’s discontinued their Slippery Elm Lozenges, they were the best. Sellers scooped up the inventory and are now selling old Thayer’s for utterly ridiculous prices ($79 a package of 42? Nah.) The worst of humanity who were clearly not raised right and taught to exploit and take advantage of people. As great as Thayer’s were, these are a more than satisfactory replacement. Especially at $22 for 200 lozenges. The size and shape are slightly less pleasing compared to Thayer’s but they’re relatively close. And they are very close in taste and just as effective. Highly recommend! And if you have previously purchased thayer’s and have a run, just fill that with these and enjoy the same experience.
