Testimonials

"Thanks for all the support in keeping us healthy and able to be our best when it matters most"
- Jon Montgomery, Olympic Gold Medallist in Skeleton

"Prevent the Onset.  The popular Canadian supplement Cold-FX is said to ward off infection because the active ingredient – ginseng – helps activate your natural killer cells and other components of your immune system (many hockey players credit the product for giving them freedom from colds, despite constant travel).The product seems to be effective because it activates those toll-like receptors that serve as smoke alarms to a pending immunity invasion."

"I never sleep on planes. The thought of cold, recycled air being pumped into my lungs unsupervised while some crying baby coughs up germs five rows back is enough to keep me popping COLD-FX until that bird lands."
- Measha Brueggergosman, Canadian Soprano

"COLD-FX is our first line of defense against colds and flu."
- Ken Lowe, Head Trainer, Edmonton Oilers Hockey Club

"A North American ginseng product, COLD-FX has also been shown in one rather good study to reduce the frequency of colds when taken daily."

"COLD-FX has been a regular partner in my life of travel and singing for a long time now…"

"This may well be the first product of its kind that has some benefit in either shortening the length of the common cold and perhaps even preventing it."

- Dr. Andrew Simor, Chief of Microbiology, Sunnybrook & Women's College Hospital, Toronto

"COLD-FX is an incredible product. In all the years that I have been taking it, it has never let me down."
- Todd Marchant, NHL Anaheim Ducks Hockey Club

"[Afexa's] initial trials seem to indicate that it may be effective in preventing a whole range of respiratory viruses."
- Dr. Robert Strang, Halifax Chief Medical Officer of Health

"COLD-FX helps the team overcome the difficulties of travel and playing in colder climates. It also enables us to perform at our highest level late in the season, when typically athletes start to feel run down. We are pleased that COLD-FX helps us be our best despite the travel, training and cold weather."
- TD Forss, Head Athletic Therapist for the Grey Cup Champion Edmonton Eskimos

"I love COLD-FX and my family is also using it."
- Yanic Perreault, former NHL Montreal Canadiens Centre

"Ginseng has long been associated with a number of fanciful health benefits including increased energy, improved mental function, and a vitalization of the immune system. Now a Canadian company, CV Technologies of Edmonton, has demonstrated through sound research that there is something to the improved immune function claim.  A specific preparation of North American ginseng, containing a standardized amount of certain polysaccharides that are thought to be the active ingredients, has been shown in clinical trials to have an effect on the common cold. It isn't quite the Holy Grail, but "COLD-FX" in a proper controlled double blind trial reduced the frequency and severity of the common cold."
- Dr. Joe Schwarcz, director of McGill University's Office for Science and Society, which is dedicated to demystifying science for the public

"We rarely endorse specific products but were very impressed by the science behind COLD-FX. There's nothing like it out there, no alternative and we see it as an opportunity to give our athletes a competitive edge."
- Colin Young, Vice President, Canadian Sport Centre-Calgary

"This is a good study. It does tell us something about this product and prevention. But we can't generalize about other ginseng products or other herbal products in general."
- Dr. Heather Boon, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Toronto

"I am a big fan of COLD-FX now, since last summer. Thanks very much. I have half my choir hooked on it now as well as several other musicians in town and assorted relatives both here and in Calgary! Best wishes for continued success."
- David L. McIntyre, Composer and Pianist, Opera Saskatchewan & Regina Symphony Orchestra
