How it works:

N‐Acetyl‐L‐Cysteine

  • Antioxidant that reduces inflammation and works to heal and protect the lungs from damage.
  • Increases the body’s production of glutathione, which is the lungs’ most powerful detoxifier.
  • Mucolytic, meaning it helps thin mucous to make it easier to expel.

Fenugreek Seed (Trigonella foenum‐graecum) 10:1 Extract

  • Mucous expectorant, helping to clear mucous from the lungs.
  • Improves lung function measures by 10% in asthmatics.

Hyssop Herb Tops (Hyssopus officinalis) 10:1 Extract

  • Mucous expectorant, helping to clear mucous from the lungs.
  • Antioxidant that reduces inflammation and improves airway functioning in asthmatics.

Mullein Leaf (Verbascum Thapsus) 20:1 Extract

  • Soothing for coughs and hydrating for the lungs.
  • Mucous expectorant, helping clear mucous from the lungs.

Ginger (Zingiber Officinale – Rhizome) 4:1 Extract

  • Opens up the airways, significantly relaxing spasms to improve asthma and tightness in the chest caused by chronic lung disease.
  • Reduces inflammation in the lungs.

Reishi Mushroom (Ganoderma lucidum – fruiting body) 20:1 Extract

  • Supports the immune system to prevent infection, and improve overall symptom management of chronic lung disease, COPD, and asthma.
  • Reduces inflammation and provides antioxidants to protect the lungs from damage.

Lifestyle tips:

    • Limit carbohydrates, especially refined sugars: When we metabolize carbs for energy, we produce carbon dioxide. We produce less carbon dioxide from metabolizing proteins and fats, so it’s easier on our breathing.
    • Smoking and vaping cessation: Lung function, capacity, coughing and shortness of breath all improve within the first month of smoking cessation. After six to nine months of being smoke-free, the cilia in the lungs have healed and the frequency of lung infections improves12.
    • Maintain a healthy weight: Gradual weight loss of 1-3 lbs per week is ideal for sustainable results. This should be done through eating a balanced diet rich in whole foods, including lean meats and fish, vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds.
    • Optimize Vitamin D levels: Having adequate levels of vitamin D is important to for a healthy immune system and lung function. Requesting blood work is the only way to know your vitamin D status, and for your doctor to decide on appropriate vitamin D supplementation dosing. Having adequate vitamin D can reduce the frequency and severity of asthma attacks13.
    • Stay hydrated: Drinking enough water helps to thin mucous in the lungs and improve breathing. Aim for at least 2 litres of water daily, and more if you’re active or in warm weather.
    • Improve air quality: Use a HEPA air purifier to improve air quality at home, vacuum and wet mop regularly to limit dust build up and minimize your use of scented products.

    Lung health is a vital part of our overall health. The lungs exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide, allowing our bodies to convert food to energy. As we breathe in air, we also breathe in toxins and pollutants, so healthy lungs are continually self-cleaning to allow for optimal oxygen exchange. In some people, including those with asthma, COPD, and in smokers, the self-cleaning mechanism is sub-optimal.
