Composition and benefits of this dietary supplement for respiratory and immune health

Our synergistic Herbal Respiratory Formula combines five ingredients with proven effects on immune support and respiratory comfort.

More specifically, it contains:

• N-acetylcysteine (NAC): this derivative of the amino acid cysteine is known to be a powerful mucolytic, in other words, a compound that thins mucus. It works by helping to break the disulphide bonds in mucus glycoproteins, thereby reducing viscosity and facilitating expectoration. By improving the fluidity of bronchial secretions, NAC facilitates the clearing of the airways and promotes comfortable breathing. This compound is also known to be a precursor of glutathione, an essential antioxidant in lung tissue, indirectly contributing to respiratory protection during acute inflammation. Its role in mucus clearance has been analysed in several studies on lower respiratory tract disorders (1-3);
• vitamin C: this essential water-soluble vitamin contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system, thereby promoting tissue protection during respiratory problems. It appears to work by supporting the function of various immune cells (particularly neutrophils and lymphocytes), thereby improving their response to pathogens. It also helps protect cells against oxidative stress, which is a common consequence of inflammation and infection in the respiratory tract. Clinical studies suggest that vitamin C may help reduce the duration and severity of symptoms in cases of upper respiratory tract disorders, particularly in people under physical stress or during the winter months. This vitamin also helps reduce fatigue, which is often associated with acute or inflammatory respiratory conditions (4);
• green chiretta (Andrographis paniculata): this herbaceous plant native to Asia is traditionally used in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine. It helps to soothe respiratory disorders such as coughs, sore throats and nasal congestion, while helping to maintain a healthy immune system. More specifically, it contains andrographolide, a diterpene lactone with potential immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties that acts by interfering with pro-inflammatory cytokine pathways, thereby limiting immune overactivation while preserving the host's defences. Several randomised controlled trials have validated its clinical efficacy, particularly in acute respiratory disorders, without the side effects associated with other products on the market (5-7);
• ivy (Hedera helix): this climbing plant is highly valued for its contribution to normal bronchial and lung function, as well as for restoring respiratory comfort. It contains triterpene saponins such as hederacoside C, which contribute to its secretolytic and antitussive effects in the bronchi. These saponins increase the activity of the bronchial cilia and promote the secretion of more fluid mucus, thus helping to thin and mobilise stubborn mucus. This action promotes the elimination of mucus from the respiratory tract and reduces the frequency of coughing. This plant also appears to have a spasmolytic effect on the smooth muscles of the bronchi, facilitating breathing and relieving the feeling of chest tightness. Ivy extract is particularly useful in cases of productive cough associated with respiratory disorders or bronchial irritation (8-10);
• thyme (Thymus vulgaris): this aromatic Mediterranean plant provides natural support for respiratory comfort by relaxing the smooth muscles of the bronchi and facilitating expectoration. It also contributes to the body's natural defences, more specifically to maintaining microbial balance in the respiratory tract, thanks to its broad-spectrum antiseptic activity. Its traditional and modern use confirms its role in soothing persistent coughs, particularly dry or spasmodic coughs, and in soothing throat and pharynx irritation during seasonal respiratory problems (11-12).

4 key benefits of our dietary supplement for the respiratory tract

Herbal Respiratory Formula has 4 key benefits:

1. a natural formula with dual respiratory and immune function: Herbal Respiratory Formula combines plants and micronutrition to support both respiratory comfort and immune system function, in a comprehensive and consistent approach;
2. action both upstream and as support against common winter ailments: the formula is designed both to prepare the body before the onset of discomfort associated with cold weather, by limiting the risks, and to act immediately when symptoms appear: blocked nose, sore throat, cough, etc.;
3. broad-spectrum action on the entire respiratory tract: our ingredients act on both the upper and lower respiratory tracts. The formula is therefore beneficial for breathing from the nose and throat (ENT area) down to the bronchi and lungs;
4. an effective formula without essential oils: despite its powerful action, our solution is a well-tolerated natural alternative, suitable for people who are sensitive or do not wish to use essential oils.
