Anyone use echinacea/goldenseal supplements?

[hemispheredancer]

I was just curious if anyone uses these supplements on a daily basis? How much/often do you take it? Can you tell a difference in the frequency and duration of colds?

I don't but I do a lot of reading and they've recently discovered that echinacea is ineffective against colds. For years, they believed it shortened the duration or prevent colds but further studies have proven it useless. This is a relatively new finding.
