Respiratory health is a concern for many, especially
during certain times of the year when external factors
may impact our ability to take a nice deep breath. Lungs
are obviously a major component of respiration, but
airways and blood vessels also are important and play a
role in bringing oxygen into the body and waste gases
such as carbon dioxide out.
We have designed Respiratory Resilience™ to provide
nutrients that support the function of the respiratory and
immune systems:
N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) – derived from the amino acid
l-cysteine, n-acetyl cysteine (NAC) offers a wide range of
benefits:
• Respiratory health
• Promotes healthy lung tissue
• Immune health
• Support for healthy levels of inflammation
• Antioxidant production
Vitamin C – Vitamin C is well known as a potent
antioxidant and a nutrient critical for the support of your
immune system. A number of studies also show that
vitamin C also supports the respiratory system including
the upper respiratory tract.
Quercetin – Quercetin is a flavonoid and antioxidant
that is found in leafy greens, broccoli and berries.
Quercetin has been shown to support healthy levels of
inflammation and supports the body’s reaction to
environmental allergens (anti-histamine). Studies have
also shown that quercetin and vitamin C work
synergistically in supporting the immune system.
Bromelain – An enzyme
derived from pineapples,
bromelain has been shown to
support healthy levels of
inflammation, to support the upper respiratory
system (especially sinuses), and to aid in healing.
Dimethylglycine (DMG) – an amino acid, DMG
has been used for many purposes, including
respiratory support, support of the immune system,
and support of healthy levels of inflammation.
Cordyceps – Cordyceps is a medicinal mushroom
that has been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine
for centuries for a number of health benefits
including support for the respiratory system,
support for healthy levels of inflammation, and a
healthy immune system.
We have also included vitamin D and zinc for
immune system support, and turmeric extract for
support of healthy levels of inflammation which
supports the respiratory system.
