The Blackmores difference

Blackmores Kaloba® is an AUST-R, clinically proven^ extract of Pelargonium sidoides.

Clinical Trials
Kaloba® has been extensively studied. Studies done on patients with acute bronchitis and acute sinusitis have shown that Kaloba® helps to reduce the severity of symptoms and reduce recovery times.

Not only has Kaloba® been clinically proven to help provide relief of acute bronchitis symptoms after 7 days (45% of the patients taking Kaloba® experienced recovery after 7 days compared to 6.4% taking a placebo), it can help speed up recovery too (1-4).

Hi, another brand of Kaloba allows for children from age 1 to consume it.

Does Blackmores Kaloba have stronger ingredients which is why under 2s cannot take it?

also how many weeks after opening does it need to be discarded? Or can it be used up until the expiry date? thanks

Hi. I'm a little confused about how long I can take this product. The label says for bronchitis 30 drops three times a day for one week maximum. For sinusitis 60 drops three times a day (double the dose) for three weeks maximum (three times as long). ???

My husband has had 4 visits to his doctor, was diagnosed with bronchitis, symptoms being blocked nose, green thick mucus, mild fever, and lacking energy. He has been suffering for over 5 weeks. He is using nasal wash and prescribed nasal sprays. Mucas has subsided but tiredness remains. He is 72 years of age, generally very healthy, and had flu injection this year as usual. Can you recommend a tonic for him? He takes Multi Vitamins, Vit.C, Vit B, Vit E, Zinc and Magnesium.

This is the best I have so far came across to treat the dry cough that remains after a bad flu. I love it.
