Product Notes:
Immune Support - Bronchial & Lung Function - Natural Herbal Expectorant & Respiratory Aid
If you've got a persistent cough whether to either a common cold or to the chronic bronchitis form of COPD, chances are you're having trouble sleeping, as well. So you probably also want something to help suppress the coughing and help you get to sleep, in the immediate term.
Consequently, this formulation blends several herbs (Thyme and Ginger) and natural compounds (NAC) which can help break down, loosen up, and/or thin out the mucus, to make it easier to have one last productive cough before bed, with both an herb (Skullcap) and a mineral (Magnesium) to produce a calming effect. But you likely also want to get better sooner rather than later, so RESPIRfree also provides some herbs and natural compounds (including Thyme and Black Cumin) with anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory properties to reduce what's causing the mucus build-up, as well as a number with potent antioxidant properties to support the immune system, particularly with respect to respiratory health (including Astragalus, Fenugreek, Forsythia, NAC and Vitamin C).
