How It Works

Bitter Orange

Bitter orange fruit contains natural compounds that support respiratory passages, including synephrine, which helps promote open airways. Synephrine exhibits properties somewhat similar to the alkaloid ephedrine (used in over-the-counter decongestant preparations) in providing respiratory support, but it acts much more mildly in the body. Bitter orange also helps break up mucus congestion. Bitter orange is commonly used in Traditional Chinese Medicine to reduce excess phlegm and help relieve respiratory congestion.

Bromelain

Bromelain is a protein-digesting enzyme derived from the fruit, juice and stem of the pineapple plant. Bromelain has been traditionally used to support a healthy respiratory tract. Bromelain works to help reduce the swelling of mucous membranes during times of respiratory stress. It also helps to thin and break up mucus to maintain clear nasal passages and improve respiratory function. Plus, bromelain supports immune function, helps reduce swelling and discomfort, and promotes a healthy inflammatory response.

CoQ10

CoQ10, found in every cell within the body, is a vitamin-like substance that is vital for cellular energy and critical to maintaining cardiovascular health. CoQ10 is essential for maintaining optimal health, energy and vitality. CoQ10 also exhibits potent antioxidant activity and helps protect cells against oxidative stress that can affect healthy respiratory function. CoQ10 may also help improve oxygen consumption. Plus, CoQ10 helps to modulate the body's inflammatory processes.*
