Doppelherz aktiv

Active Breath

Thanks to its combination of nutrients and herbal extracts, our Doppelherz® Active Breath formulation has a triple positive influence on lung health: 

It facilitates the expectoration of foreign bodies by fluidifying bronchial secretions thanks to Thyme extract. Thyme has been traditionally used in Europe as an expectorant. This property relies on its stimulating effect on mucociliary clearance, which is an innate defense mechanism that removes inhaled particles and pathogens from the airways. 

It supports normal function of lungs epithelial cells (Pine bark extract and Zinc) and their renewal (Vitamins B₆ and B₁₂). When lung tissue is damaged, it has the capacity to regenerate to a certain extent, without scaring or fibrosis. However, this process depends on a proper supply with specific nutrients, like Zinc that is important to maintain the barrier function of the epithelium. 

It helps reduce oxidative stress in the lung tissues: Citrus bioflavonoids, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Zinc all contribute to increase antioxidant defenses, which are important to keep damages due to oxidative processes at low levels. 

Regular intake of Doppelherz® Active Breath capsules is especially recommended to people living in urban areas with high levels of pollution, to those who often have chest congestion as well as to smokers.
