Lungwort Respiratory Complex with NAC & Herbs | 180 Capsules | Vit4ever

NAC and herbal complex with lungwort by Vit4ever

This herbal complex with NAC by Vit4ever combines twelve substances in a capsule: N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), eleven herbal extracts and vitamin B2. You take four capsules daily, spread throughout the day. One bottle contains 180 capsules, enough for 45 days. It is a formula for those who prefer using one product rather than combining individual herbs.

NAC as a fixed base of the formula

NAC is a processed form of the amino acid cysteine. This product provides 600 mg of NAC per daily dose of 4 capsules.

Lungwort, comfrey, ginger, Icelandic moss and marshmallow

In addition to NAC, the formula contains lungwort extract (300 mg), comfrey extract (400 mg), ginger extract (400 mg, standardized to 5% gingerols) and Icelandic moss dry extract (200 mg). Lungwort owes its name to its spotted leaves. Lungwort and Icelandic moss, actually a lichen, naturally contain mucilage. Comfrey (Pestwurz) is one of the oldest European herbs that appear in this type of mix. Marshmallow, or malva, is processed as an extract of 200 mg per daily dose. Ginger is standardized in this extract by gingerol content (of which 20 mg gingerol per daily dose), so that each dose provides a fixed amount of this substance instead of a varying amount as would be the case with fresh ginger. The difference between these herbs lies mainly in the plant itself: one has traditionally grown in the Alps, the other on rocky Scandinavian soil, and marshmallow is actually an ordinary garden plant that you will come across in many yards in the Netherlands.

Eucalyptus, peppermint, thyme and sage: the aromatic side

A second group in this complex revolves around essential oil. Eucalyptus extract (300 mg) naturally contains eucalyptol, peppermint extract (200 mg) contains menthol, and thyme powder (200 mg) and sage extract (200 mg) both contain thymol-like compounds. These substances give eucalyptus, peppermint, thyme and sage their recognizable, fresh scent. These are plants that have been in the kitchen cupboard for generations, not coincidentally often in combination with each other. Furthermore, the formula contains chamomile extract (200 mg), a plant that has been found in the traditional herb cabinet for just as long.

Vitamin B2

The formula contains 4.2 mg of vitamin B2 (riboflavin), good for 300% of the reference intake. Riboflavin contributes to the maintenance of normal mucous membranes and to the protection of cells against oxidative stress. In addition, it contributes to a normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It is the only substance in this complex with an authorized EU health claim; no health claims are allowed for NAC and the herbs.

What many people do not know: many of these herbs were previously set aside separately as tea, with varying strengths and flavors that do not appeal to everyone. In a capsule there is a fixed amount per dose, without having to weigh or measure out. The capsule itself is made of HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), a plant-based material, making the product suitable for those who do not want to use animal gelatin.

You mainly encounter this type of broad formula with people who prefer taking an all-in-one product rather than several separate bottles side by side. The difference with a pure NAC supplement lies in the addition of eleven herbal extracts and vitamin B2.
