Ricola sugar-free candies in a 70 g bag have a minty flavour and have a soothing effect on the throat, allowing it to feel fresh and clear. They are made from extracts of 13 different naturally grown Swiss herbs.
Ricola's menthol candies are formulated with a varied blend of aromatic herbs that have been cultivated in the Swiss mountains. These crops are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Their minty flavour helps soothe the voice and throat when a cold comes on.
The Swiss herbs that have been blended to make these candies have cooling effects on the respiratory tract, throat and mouth. They are elder, mallow, sage, dandelion, yarrow, marshmallow, veronica, primrose, plantain, pimpernel, thyme, mint and horehound. Their combination results in a pleasant and peculiar taste.
One of the star ingredients of these candies is menthol or peppermint extract with analgesic, antiseptic, decongestant and antibacterial actions in the throat and mouth. Menthol also helps to neutralise the proliferation of oral bacteria, contributing to the reduction of halitosis (bad breath).
On the other hand, there is sugar alcohol (sorbitol), which, in addition to sweetening, provides moisturisation and texture, preventing the candy from crystallising. This syrup does not contain as many calories as sugar, has a pleasant and refreshing taste and does not promote tooth decay.
No artificial flavours or colours have been added in the formulation of stevia herbal candies. They also come in a convenient small size format.
The presence of stevia in these candies, in addition to sweetening and replacing sugar, helps to reduce stomach acidity. It also has diuretic, antibacterial, vasodilator and immune system strengthening properties.
This candy is suitable for adults with throat discomfort who want to refresh their throat. It can also be consumed by people who are allergic or intolerant to lactose, egg and gluten.
Put a piece of candy in the mouth and let it dissolve. It is not necessary to swallow it with water. They can be consumed on demand, but not in excess.
Excessive consumption of these candies may have laxative effects. Not a substitute for a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of the reach of children and away from direct sources of heat and light. Store in a cool, dry place.
