Respifluid

Dietary supplement

Respifluid is a food supplement based on N-Acetylcysteine (NAC), Lactoferrin, Calcium L-Methylfolate and Cyanocobolamin (Vit. B12), specially formulated to thin bronchial secretions, increase the immune defenses against respiratory infections caused by viruses and bacteria, and reduce plasma homocysteine concentrations.

Respifluid is recommended for food supplementation in the course of acute and chronic diseases of the respiratory system characterized by dense and viscous hypersecretions, which occur mainly in the course of: Acute Bronchitis, Chronic Bronchitis and its recuatizations, Pulmonary emphysema, Mucoviscidosis and Bronchiectasis.

The active ingredients

N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) exerts an intense mucolytic-fluidifying action on lung and bronchial secretions, depolymerizing the muco-protein complexes and nucleic acids that give stickiness to the vitreous and purulent component of the sputum and other secretions . It also exerts a direct antioxidant action being equipped with a free thiol group (-SH) capable of interacting directly with the electrophilic groups of oxidizing radicals. Inside the cells, NAC is deacetylated, thus making available L-Cysteine, an essential amino acid for the synthesis of Glutathione (GSH). GSH is a highly reactive tripeptide, present in the various tissues of animal organisms, essential for maintaining functional capacity and cellular morphological integrity, as it represents the most important intracellular defense mechanism against oxidizing free radicals, both exogenous and endogenous, and towards numerous cytotoxic substances.

Lactoferrin is a multifunctional globular protein with antimicrobial and immunostimulating activity. It is found mainly in breast milk, but is present in many mucous secretions, such as tears, saliva, nasal and bronchial secretions. Lactoferrin is an important component of the non-specific anti-infectious system and inhibits bacterial and viral growth on the mucosal surfaces. It is also equipped with immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

L-Methylfolate is the biologically active form of Folic Acid, it is completely bioavailable, does not require metabolic transformations and is not affected by the C667T genetic polymorphism linked to the MTHFR enzyme. It is useful for reducing plasma homocysteine concentrations, which are frequently elevated in subjects with chronic respiratory disease and cardiovascular comorbidity.

Cyanocobalamin (Vit. B12) is a water-soluble vitamin, it enhances the effects of L-Methylfolate in reducing plasma homocysteine concentrations.

Dosage and method of use

The recommended dose is 1 tablet per day for acute and chronic respiratory diseases. The dosage can be increased according to the doctor's judgment.
