Backed By Science
Every ingredient in Lung Recover is backed by extensive research. Learn more about our ingredients and the studies backing their efficacy.
Ingredient | Why It Matters |
---|---|
N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) | As an antioxidant, NAC helps replenish glutathione levels in your lungs and aids in reducing inflammation in your bronchial tubes and lung tissue |
Vitamin C | Smoking and certain medical conditions deplete Vitamin C which is a key antioxidant and important for lung health |
Vitamin D | Cigarette smoke decreases the production of the active form of vitamin D (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D) in lung epithelial cells. The active form of vitamin D tempers the damaging inflammatory response of some white blood cells, while it also boosts immune cells' production of microbe-fighting proteins. Studies have also shown an association between Vitamin D supplementation and reduced mortality risk |
Vitamin E | In lung tissue, vitamin E is one of the first lines of defense against free radicals created by disease and environmental factors like tobacco smoke. Smokers are prone to vitamin E depletion |
Magnesium | Smokers have depleted magnesium levels. Magnesium is a key stress regulator and depleted levels often lead to increased tobacco consumption |
Zinc | Low zinc intake has been associated with increased risk of obstructive lung disorder in smokers. Zinc supplementation may mitigate this effect |
Selenium | Dietary selenium (Se) has been found to inhibit the development of several types of cancer in epidemiological and experimental studies |
Molybdenum | Molybdenum is responsible for breaking down and detoxifying many substances which are harmful for the human body |
