RespiClear - 4 oz

RespiClear - 4 oz | Karuna Health - Liquid respiratory mucous membrane protection and immune defense

Exposure to upper respiratory viruses is difficult to avoid year round, but particularly in winter. RespiClear contains numerous herbal and nutritional factors to help maintain healthy immune defenses and normal respiratory and systemic function. Andrographis and Echinacea leaf and root have been extensively researched and proven effective for supporting respiratory health in numerous double-blind clinical trials. Vitamins A and C have been established as critical to normal respiratory and immune function. The mild diaphoretic activity of Tilia cordata (linden) helps the body system mount optimum immune defenses. Ginger is an effective intestinal tonic, and eucalyptus volatile oil has expectorant and mucolytic properties. RespiClearis delivered as an easy-to-take liquid and is suitable for children and adults.

Seven double-blind clinical trials attest to the benefits of Andrographis paniculata leaf for optimizing immune system function to protect upper respiratory tissues and their functions (Planta Med 2004;70:293-8)..
Clinical interest in Echinacea extract is evidenced by dozens of research studies on its therapeutic properties.

Extracts of Echinacea species contain polysaccharides, alkylamides/polyacetylenes and caffeic acid derivatives that have immune stimulating effects such as proliferation of natural killer cells and monocytes, activation of macrophages, and production of cytokines (Phytomedicine 2003;10:66-86).

Numerous clinical studies attest to the benefits of Echinacea for providing relief and restoring normal upper respiratory function after exposure to common viruses (J Fam Pract 1999;48:628-35; J Clin Pharm Ther 2004;29:75-83; Arzneimittelforschung 2001;51:563-8; Phytomedicine 1999;6:1–5; Arch Fam Med 1998;7:541–5)..

In vitro studies demonstrate inhibitory effects of the fruit of Sambucus nigra on the replication of influenza viruses (J Altern Complement Med 1995;1:361-9).

Ginger is a pleasant-tasting intestinal tonic and linden is a mild diaphoretic. Each has long been in use by traditional herbal medicine practitioners for supporting systemic health ­(Herbal Medicine: Expanded Commission E Monographs).

Vitamins A and C play vital roles in support of normal immune function and respiratory health (Clin Infect Dis 1994;19:489–99; Scand J Infect Dis 1994;26:1–6).
