This product is designed to nutritionally support the natural immune system of the body with emphasis on supporting the healthy functioning of the sinuses. The mucous membranes are the first line of defence in our immune systems for the air we breathe through our noses. As such, they trap a lot of particulate matter, that create oxidative stress. This Stress-induced mucus often drains into the stomach, where it must be neutralized by the antioxidants. Excessive drainage of mucus can be a source of stomach irritation when it overwhelms the antioxidant systems present.
The botanical blend and the vitamin C in this product are intended to provide a potent blend of plant and algal antioxidants to locally offset some of the oxidative stress associated with sinus and mucus drainage. These botanicals also have reported benefits for general immune support. Many of these compounds are also absorbed systemically, potentially offsetting the net oxidative stress on the entire body. In addition, ginger has been reported to soothe the stomach and may be supportive in the presence of any stomach irritation associated with excessive sinus drainage.
The enzyme blend in this product is intended to nutritionally support healthy sinuses through both systemic enzymatic antioxidant support and through support of healthy immune responses.
BOTANICAL INGREDIENTS
GINGER has been used in foods and as a traditional remedy since at least the time of the ancient Greeks to calm queasy tummies, aid in digestion and support respiratory health. Extracts of ginger are known to contain numerous antioxidants, phytochemicals and enzymes.
QUERCETIN is a bioflavonoid. Bioflavonoids are antioxidant plant compounds known to enhance the absorption of vitamin C, inhibit the breakdown down of connective tissue, and counter oxidative stresses
IRISH MOSS is a type of marine algae that is rich in mucilage, sulfur compounds and other trace minerals. In addition to providing a source of trace minerals, Irish moss may be useful for respiratory, immune and digestive support.

SUPERIOR LOW ALLERGY FORMULATION:
This formulation is free from artificial colouring, preservatives and flavours, yeast, wheat, corn, gluten, sugar, starch, nuts, dairy, lupin, mustard, celery, soy, peanuts, sesame seeds and eggs. Non-GMO, non-irradiated and BSE/TSE free.
Drink lots of water. Good hydration helps keep the mucus thin and loose. Have a bottle of water at your desk at work or put a glass near the kitchen sink to remind you to drink water throughout the day.
Air pollutants, such as cigarette smoke, decrease the effectiveness of the mucociliary transport system in the sinuses. Avoid closed-in areas that include cigarette smoke, wood smoke and other pollutants.
Avoid dry environments. A humidifier in your home (in particular, by your bed) and where you work can help prevent nasal passages from drying out. Keep humidifiers clean and free of bacteria and mold.
