Product Does NOT Contain: Alcohol, Sugar, Soy, Salt, Starch, Yeast, Wheat, Gluten, Corn, Milk, Egg or Preservatives.
Gluten Free and Vegan Formula.

Scout Out is for acute use, so a bottle may sit on your shelf for a while. Kept somewhere cool, dry, and dark, it holds its potency for about 3 years. The date on the bottle is our potency best-by date, not an expiration date.

We use a vegetable glycerine and water base instead of alcohol. This gives our liquid extracts a naturally sweet taste without added flavoring.

Scout Out contains echinacea, a daisy-family herb, the same family as ragweed. If you have a ragweed allergy, please check with your provider before using it and start out with a small dose.

Scout Out is in both the Cold and Flu Day Time Kit and the Earache Relief Wellness Kit. Please wait at least 30 minutes between formulas, and don’t use Scout Out for more than 10 days in a row. You can also use it alongside many of our other products.

Scout Out contains goldenseal, which can affect how some medications work, and St. John’s wort, which can interact with birth control, antidepressants, blood thinners, and HIV, transplant, and heart medications. Please check with your doctor or pharmacist first if you are taking any medications, especially any of the above.

Yes. We suggest taking it straight or in water.

Scout Out contains goldenseal, which we don’t recommend during pregnancy or while nursing. RespaClear is our pregnancy-friendly immune support option, and Lung Tonic is our pregnancy-friendly cough option. Always talk to a healthcare provider before trying something new while pregnant, and talk to your provider and your child's provider if you are nursing.

Scout Out has a delicious taste that kids enjoy. Children over 25lbs can take it with a healthcare provider's approval. Our suggested dosage is based on body weight: 1/4 teaspoon per 25 lbs.

Because it contains goldenseal, it isn’t recommended for children under 3. Please start with a small amount to make sure your child isn’t sensitive to goldenseal.

Sweet with a bit of zest, kids love the taste. Rosemary and cloves add flavor, so kids won’t fight to take it. There is a slight kick at the end that is quite enjoyable.

Medicine Bear (D. Walt Burchett), a 7th-generation Cherokee herbalist, created Scout Out. He passed the formula on to TriLight founder Lyle Bennett, and it’s been a top seller for decades.

Our suggested dosage is 1/4 teaspoon per 25 lbs of body weight, straight or in water, every 3 hours, and we suggest continuing for 3 days after you feel well.

Scout Out is for acute use only. Because of the goldenseal, we don’t suggest using it for more than 10 days at a time.

Acute use only. Save Scout Out for the deeper, harder stretches of a cold, flu, or earache. For something to take regularly during cold and flu season, ViraMune and our Immune System Builder Wellness Kit are made for that.

Each of the 11 herbs has its own role, from immune and antibacterial support to respiratory, lymphatic, and detox support, so one bottle covers several areas of concern at once.

It means the formula comes from Cherokee herbal tradition. Medicine Bear, a 7th-generation Cherokee herbalist, created it and called it his “Antibiotic Tonic.”

Haven’t personally tried yet, but family members love it. They would rate it 5 stars.

I have not used the scout out yet but, my daughters who use it, love it. One dose recently worked fast for my grandson when he was getting sick and running a high temp. My one daughter has used for her family of 8 for years now.

Sore throat

I had a major swollen and sore throat and took 1 tsp of Scout Out with sore throat gone the next morning. I wasn’t sure if it would help, but it did!

Scout Out - Natural Antibiotic - Cold, Flu, Ear Aches

I use this with Echinacea and Thyme at the first sign of a cold. The combination made my son's middle of the night fever go away within 6 hours, and my daughter's went away within 24 hours. What a difference this made compared to the months we have endured of sickness after sickness and antibiotic after antibiotic. I think we FINALLY found something that will actually help!

We have used scout out with lungs plus combination and lymph rub when my daughter has lingering cold and cough for weeks. After she start taking it, her cold and cough slowly started to go away. Now, we always have these on hand to combat the beginning sign of cough and cold.

I will not take Rx antibiotics due to the side effects. Most of them do not work on me because they were over used when I was a child. I am so thankful to find Scout Out! I've used it on a sinus infection and I have seen results even when I start to get the sinus headache - I nip it in the bud and no infection! I love Scout Out! Thank you TriLight Health!

We have used this product at the onset of colds and it seems to have helped prevent ear infections! I thought we would for sure be heading to the doctor for an ear infection, but I used this the day it started and decided to wait until the next day, the next day we continued with this and we avoided the doctor's office!

I live in a senior citizen hi rise.  People don't think to stay in their apt when they are sick.  I take this as soon as someone coughs around me because I know I get sick easily.  This keeps we well!!

Scout out is becoming my "go to" when starting to feel a cold coming on. So far, it has significantly decreased cold symptoms to very mild or even caused the cold to flee altogether. As an adult, I will take the dosage straight or slightly watered down in a glass, but my kids don't like the taste, so prefer I dilute it in water first. (Not sure which ingredient they don't like much, maybe the rosemary?) Either way, they are good about drinking it and show improvements when not feeling well.

I have a compromise immune system, so when I come down with any infection I have hard time getting better. Now that I know of Scout Out I don't have to take medicine from doctor!

Scout Out - Natural Antibiotic - Cold, Flu, Ear Aches

I consider this the big guns of natural remedies. We don't reach for it first, but if lympha rub and echinacea and thyme doesn't knock a sickness out, this is the next line of defense.

Scout Out - Natural Antibiotic - Cold, Flu, Ear Aches

This is an amazing product! I used to use an elder syrup for my kids, but we had been getting illnesses that seemed like nothing would touch, not antibiotics, nothing! I gave my kids a dose of this and they both fell asleep, sweat out their fever, and woke up hungry! I do believe the days of other remedies led to such a dramatic difference after ONE dose of this, BUT, I know it was the scout out that made the difference in the end. It is my go to for illness from now on! I combine it with lung's plus or ASMA when we have junk in our lungs. I feel a difference right away! It is important to take as directed, if you don't take enough, it won't be as amazing! So follow the direction on the bottle! It is worth every penny to buy enough!

When I get sick it usually takes at least a week for me to get over it. Using Scout Out along with Viramune I can cut my sick days down to about 3. My husband started taking it at the first sign of a sniffle and he barely even got sick! This product will always be in my medicine cabinet.

I have a son who has had frequent ear infections resulting in ear tubes. I ordered Scout Out and used it along with Lympha Rub and Hear No Evil the last time he was sick and had drainage coming out of his ear. He was able to fight the infection without needing antibiotics and has fully recovered. He also loved the taste of this!

I used this for a week the last time colds were going around and mine hung on and became a sinus infection I think. It cleared up and I was so thankful to have this as a choice instead of going in for antibiotics.

This stuff is incredible! A couple weeks ago my husband and two toddlers all started to come down with a bad cough/cold and so we started regularly dosing them with Scout Out. The colds never got to the severe stage and within two days they were completely gone...especially amazing for my husband as his colds are usually a week-long misery. And both my toddlers loved taking it -- they always opened wide and my three-year-old would eagerly ask if they could have some. This is definitely a product we're going to keep on hand.

If I had to take one supplement and one only on a trip to a foreign country or deserted island or anywhere else for that matter, this is the one I would choose. I am a registered nurse, and learned all about medical intervention in the course of my practice, but scout out is better than medical intervention! It works to enable your own body to "step up" and fight. I give this to any of my family members any time they have symptoms of illness. It really is the best product I have ever known.

This is our all-time favorite remedy. It always works, without fail, to shorten the intensity and duration of cold/flu/cough symptoms. And my kids like the taste, too. I recommend it to others frequently.

Great!

I love this for colds. I start taking it as soon as I feel off and usually have milder symptoms and shorter duration of the cold. The taste does get some getting use to. If you have a problem with herbal remedy tastes, it may be off putting.

Excellent!

I'm so, so happy to have this natural antibiotic on hand. I love to combine with lympha rub. But even by itself it does wonders.

Just in the nick of time!

I bought this “just in case” and it came JUST in time! One of my daughters thought she might be getting a sinus infection. She took this for a few days and it cleared her right up! I also ended up giving some to my other daughter to try with my grandchildren who were sick. They were better in no time! My grandson said he liked the flavor. I have no doubt that this helped! I’m going to make sure I never run out!

Really nice!

Great for boosting immunity but the smell and taste is a little bitter on this one. Not that it's not bearable but I prefer Viramune, even though this one is probaly a little stronger/more effective.

Definitely recommended!

Has helped us with the end of lingering colds!
