GRETHER'S Sugarfree Ginger Lemon Pastilles – Premium Swiss Throat Lozenges for Dry Mouth & Throat Comfort – Citrus-Fresh Flavor – Gluten & Lactose Free – Gift for Singers – 3.75 oz, 4 Pack

As an aspiring singer, I saw “Grether’s pastilles” recommended by a famous singer. In my search I found Grether’s, but Dr.Doolittle’s popped up highly ranked (and a little cheaper) as well. I bought 3 things: Dr.Doolittle’s original blackcurrant (plastic bags, 6 bags, 4 per pack = 24 pieces = $10), Dr.Doolittle’s 4 flavor variety pack sugar free (maybe 4 pieces per bag? Can’t remember. ~16 =$6.55), and finally Grether’s sugar free blueberry tin (they don’t say how many but I’d guess maybe 25 pieces? = $17). First off, flavor is a big factor for me. I have very sensitive taste buds. The Dr.Doolittle sugar free flavored pack - absolute NO from me. They were hard, weird texture when chewed, and most of them left a minty taste in my mouth. I HATE MINT. But also, minty aftertaste on something like grapefruit or lime??? Not good. Not buying these again. BUT as for the question of Grether’s versus Dr.Doolittle’s (the original blackcurrant flavor at least) they were both great, but I think Dr.Doolittle’s did a bit better for me. I found that I would take Dr.Doolittle’s every 15 minutes or so, and I could really FEEL it working. Sorry to be gross: but yes, it produced a lot of saliva. These versions were soft and the flavor was good. I don’t count Grether’s out, because they do work as well, but I didn’t feel it working as much (saliva production) and it didn’t feel as obvious, so I felt the need to take them more frequently. Basically every 10 minutes or so. Flavor was barely noticeable to be honest. Not bad, but not as good as the blackcurrant. (Which for me is surprising. I would have thought I would have liked the sweeter berry flavor better, but maybe it’s the fact that Grether’s is sugar free? I really feel this is working against it). I went through what I bought rather quickly so I stocked up, buying both Grether’s sugar free blueberry and Dr.Doolittle’s classic blackcurrant again. I have Grether’s classic blackcurrant (not sugar free) in my cart for next time, so maybe I’ll update when I’ve tried those, but it won’t be for a while. NOW: if you want to know how they worked in terms of singing - phenomenal! Highly recommend! Clearer sound, less vibrato, and overall feel like I am easily hitting notes that are usually difficult for me. But like I said, effects are pretty short. But worth it? For me, absolutely! I also had a day where I wasn’t feeling good: wasn’t eating or drinking anything, but I kept popping (the Grether’s) just to keep my mouth from going dry. It’s weird to explain, but they did help in this odd scenario. They are advertised to dry mouth sufferers as well, so I think that’s YES, they would help you, if this is your aim. So, at this very moment, #1 Dr.Doolittle’s originals, #2 Grether’s sugar free blueberry, and removed from list: Dr.Doolittle’s sugar free anything. I honestly have really high hopes for Grether’s original, too. I think the sugar free part is just making them harder to chew and more unpleasant to eat (they don’t “melt” the same as the ones with sugar) and possibly that makes it so they don’t work as well? Like the sugar actually adds to the effect? Maybe I’m making it up in my mind. But that’s the most honest review you’re going to see out of these! hope this helps others like me!

I bought Grether’s Sugarfree Blackcurrant Pastilles for my wife while she had laryngitis, and they worked wonders. They really helped soothe her throat and kept her mouth moist, which made a big difference with the dryness and pain she was dealing with. She found them gentle, not overly sweet, and easy to use throughout the day. The blackcurrant flavor was pleasant, and the sugar-free aspect was a nice bonus. If you’re looking for something to ease throat discomfort, especially during laryngitis or a bad sore throat, these pastilles are definitely worth trying.

This pastille has a great flavor and a soft, chewy texture. The Blackcurrent flavor is great - it tastes very similar to a tart blueberry to me. Best of all as soon as I popped one of these pastilles in my mouth I was able to talk again. I speak a lot in my line of work. It will be so helpful and easy to carry these pastilles to work. I get dry mouth at night and it seems that these pastilles would be very helpful and soft to keep in my mouth over night. I will update back when I have had a chance to use tonight. I will be reordering as soon as I run out!

I can’t say enough about these! I’m on the worship team at my church and we had a retreat that was three days. Over those three days I sang 17 songs and I knew my voice was going to take a beating. I would use these in between sets and they were a lifesaver! The flavor is great and they are very soothing. These are now a part of my routine each time I sing. Highly recommend for anyone that is a singer!

I love these! Taste, effectiveness, natural and easy to carry. However…very expensive!

These taste great, pretty close to Halls’ honey & lemon drops except without the abrasiveness of hard candy. It’s an interesting texture; softer than a hard candy but firmer than a gummy. It’s a little odd at first, but it quickly becomes very satisfying. And, most importantly, it’s really helpful with vocal recovery after a hellish illness.

I am so glad that they came out with a sugar free version of these. These really are the best at coating your throat. They are expensive, but they are the best ones that I have tried out of all of them.

I keep these in my purse. I love the smooth texture and how long they last. The flavor isn’t overpowering, so it makes these easy to pop one in my mouth whenever. I’ll continue buying these to keep in my purse at all times.

Eine Kamelle gelutscht , möchte man sofort eine zweite suckeln. So gut schmecken die mir. Milde Konsistenz, angenehmer Geschmack, nicht süss, sehr leicht und angenehm säuerlich.

Wie immer Hilfe für rauen Hals, außerdem sehr lecker!

Ok
