Works wonders. Horrible taste.
Not gonna lie. This stuff is legit. The day before my a cappella group was going into the studio to record, I was practicing so much that my voice started to crack. I was planning on using it at the studio, but figured I should try it out beforehand. So I sprayed and it was like instant magic. My voice was completely clear, I could hit high notes that I usually struggled to hit. It was amazing.The down side? Tastes like **** You need to have a mint or something nearby to put in your mouth IMMEDIATELY after you spray. This stuff will make you want to gag. I guess you can't have it both ways!

The review you haven't yet read!
I've decided to add my voice here to the numerous opinions about this singer's spray. Hopefully this can offer some very useful information that I have not yet read in other reviews, and would have been very helpful for me before purchasing. I'm glad I got it, regardless of results.Firstly, this is an herbal tincture solution with vegetable glycerin. And the "horrible taste" that everyone loves to whine about actually made me smile! It's nothing more than Osha root! (Not to be confused with the red-tape safety organization that is making it painfully difficult for you to open up your family-run restaurant.) Osha is a popular root with herbalists and natural medicine fans. It opens up the lungs, and is used for altitude sickness, shortness of breath, for smokers, in cold and flu recovery for breathing and speaking, and really any lung/breathing-obstruction situations. I personally have used Osha root a lot, and some of my other fave herbs are in there as well, like Echinacea. Having said that, you would think that I would be enthusiastic to see some faves in the ingredients list. But upon using the spray for the first time, I came to a dismaying realization: my body is too used to them to produce the effect that so many others have reported here. That is not to say that it is entirely ineffective; I did notice that I opened up and loosened a bit with some notes. But did it produce the startling elasticity that others warn about? Not for me. And if you have taken a lot of Osha, which I going to hazard to guess is the main component at work for the lung-power expansiveness, then I would think you would have a similar result as my own. No doubt Osha is an outstanding medicine for the lungs, but like a lot of "maintenance" natural medicine, it wears off. Without having yet encountered the need to use the spray while I'm recovering from a cold, I can still anticipate that being the scenario that would provide the most personal success for me. Or possibly early in the morning if I need to assist vocal warm-ups and activate my singing voice earlier than normal. But in an everyday setting, for someone like me who has had frequent exposure to the spray's ingredients, it will not produce the "Holy cow, it's a miracle!" experience.Onto the taste...I've tried hard to think up something to compare Osha's flavor to. It's got that "battery" thing (like when you touch the end of a battery with the tip of your tongue and it's metallic and tangy) but imagine that in your mouth and not just on your tongue. For that matter, Echinacea produces a similar effect so I'm sure that's an additional culprit in the spray. The tangy flavor is kind of harsh, like licorice, cough syrup and crushed-up aspirin mixed together. It is sweet. It has a curry-like something about it. Keep in mind that I am not describing this with an opinion about it to deter you; the taste is what it is. I'm describing it impartially so that you can get somewhat of an idea of the particular quality of "unpleasant taste" everyone is talking about. (Kind of like when everyone in the mainstream tries to terrify you about how painful contractions are during labor, but fails to specify what kind of pain? BTW, the answer: like very intense menstrual cramps, and possibly nausea during transition).I digress! My personal opinion of the spray's taste? I don't mind it at all. I'm so used to roots and herbs, this simply tastes like I would expect any herb tincture concoction to taste like. In fact, if you're ever about to try Osha root for the first time (whether in tincture or in chewing it) your reaction would likely be" This stuff tastes like that singer's spray!!!"What is the difference between the professional and strength and the other one? This one (the professional strength) is alcohol-free and contains no bee propolis. That makes is vegan and, if it's a requirement for you--user-friendly for Muslims, AA members, etc.Can this formula be improved upon? I will answer it this way: I started to imagine dreaming of inventing a throat spray for singers to loosen and lubricate the vocal chords. I thought up some of the ingredients I would use--mostly herbs. Then it occurred to me someone probably has already invented such a spray, and sure enough I found this one and other brands as well. This is the first one I've ever tried since it received the best reviews and seemed in alignment with my demand of containing natural, preservative-free ingredients. One thing I think I would add is a stronger "lubing" element. Something to really loosen and soften the chords, like a teaspoon of warm, soft food oil might do. Like coconut oil perhaps? Since people report success with things like hot, buttery popcorn, I would incorporate something like that.Lastly? "Saving grace" does not mean "substitution grace." This will not replace proper vocal warm-ups and chord-strengthening exercises. It will not replace proper breathing and and diaphragm-power. It will not replace study, training, practice or a vocal coach. This is not a Matrix-like miracle pill ("I know Kung-Fu") type trick that is going to turn a person who is not singing well into a fabulous singer.What this spray is--in the long and short--is a medicinal herbal concoction made up of some really effective herbs/roots that have always been used for a variety of ailments. In fact, just by using this spray you've given yourself an immunity-booster and a nice dose of vitamins C and E, antioxidants, etc. You know, the good stuff. Which is to say, you could actually use this spray for a variety of health-enhancement needs.Best of luck in your musical endeavors and happy singing (and training properly!)

Might be new but not improved.
They changed the formula. It's now sweet and doesn't work, dissipates quickly. The previoud formula was almost torturous, it was spicy and very alcoholly (that's a word right?) but it worked to great and lasted a long time.

A must have in cough and cold
A must have if you are a singer. This little bottle of spray packs a big punch to the vocal cords.

Use Caution due to potential allergic reaction
Please check each of the ingredients and research their side effects. It helped my voice very well, but I had a terrible reaction. I ended up in the ER with extremely low blood pressure, while simultaneously having a racing pulse, arrhythmia and A-fib. Also, my tongue was swollen and sore, and I was dehydrated.I felt dizzy, weak & faint ~ and barely made it home. My daughter called 911 & had me go to the hospital to get checked ... I didn't make the connection to the throat spray.However, my daughter used it 3 days later (we sing together) and immediately felt light headed and nauseated. She said, "maybe it's the spray. I don't feel well". (It was not the taste that had us feeling nauseated. We're used to herbal remedies ...I forgot about it and without thinking sprayed my throat twice while rehearsing. Within an hour, I had the same heart issues, dizziness, feeling faint, nauseated. My daughter had to drive us home. I have no doubt that several of the ingredients cause problems.Please Use With Caution! To be fair: I did spray it 3 times in a six hour time span and I have a pre-existing heart condition. Maybe it's ok for someone without any health issues.Honestly, it really cleared my voice (I had issues after surgery) ... I sure wish it didn't cause these issues for me.
