Feature Summary
Inspir-Action® provides a potent combination of nutrients and botanicals to provide relief from symptoms and improve respiratory function. N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) is a well-established mucolytic with the ability to break disulfide bonds, and has shown clinical benefit for individuals with COPD, bronchiectasis, and pulmonary fibrosis.1-6 NAC has also been shown to decrease symptoms of influenza-like infection, increase glutathione and sulfotransferase levels, inhibit activation of the inflammatory NF-kB pathway, and modulate immune function.7-10

Proteolytic enzymes can lower the viscosity of mucous secretions, and in a randomized trial bromelain reduced symptoms of acute sinusitis in children more effectively than a standard therapy.11 Marshmallow is widely used for cough and soothing of irritated mucous membranes, with mucilaginous and bio-adhesive effects attributed to polysaccharides extracted from the root.12 English ivy extract increases beta-2-adrenergic bronchial activity, relaxing smooth bronchial musculature and increasing surfactant factors. It has been shown to be an effective treatment for acute bronchitis and to improve lung function among asthmatic children when used in addition to standard medication.13,14 Extracts of mullein, wild cherry, and horehound similarly have a long history of use for various respiratory tract pathologies. These ingredients complement this formula with a unique combination of demulcent, emollient, expectorant, and antitussive properties to provide relief from symptoms.
