Frequently Asked Questions About Respiratory Support Supplements

Q: How does a respiratory support formula work?

The correct formula holds the key to success. The formula should not be filled with ingredients that only look good on the label, but rather with ingredients that have been clinically proven effective and are backed by scientific research for providing optimum results.

The formula should contain Vitamin A and Vitamin C which provide natural antioxidant, antihistamine, anti-inflammatory, and lung repair benefits, as well as reduce the potential risk for a whole slew of respiratory issues. They should contain a highly bioavailable form of Quercetin for immune-response augmentation and histamine balancing properties, and an herbal blend with respiratory support ingredients like Nettle Leaf Extract. It should also contain an immunomodulator like Beta-Glucan for strengthening the body’s ability to fight infections, and a Flavonoid for added Vitamin C absorption and additional anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. 

Q: Do all respiratory support formulas work?

Unfortunately, they do not all work. There are many shady companies that just go along with the latest health supplement trends and formulate supplements that contain incorrect ingredients with the wrong potency or amounts. Often, they even add unnecessary inactive ingredients or cheap fillers, binders, hormones, artificial colorings, and preservatives that can hinder the effects of the active ingredients.

Q: What are important points to look out for?

• It should contain a high dose of Vitamin A, which is a critical component in the body’s ability to build and repair tissue in the lungs. It is also an extremely important factor for the proper functioning of the immune system. 
• It should contain a potent dose of Vitamin C, a natural antioxidant and anti-histamine that can decrease the risk of inflammation and swelling caused by allergic reactions. It also has the ability to assist in reducing the risk of major respiratory diseases, and oxidative damage in the lungs. 
• It should contain a highly optimized version of Quercetin, such as the 20x more effective Quercefit®, a plant compound which is clinically proven to promote healthy histamine levels and immune-response. This ingredient also has anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, antiviral, and free-radical scavenging properties.
• It should contain an herbal blend of natural compounds, with components such as Nettle Leaf Extract for anti-histamine and other various respiratory support properties. 
• It should contain an immunomodulator such as Beta-Glucan to help decrease negative respiratory responses and improve the body’s ability to fight infections. 
• It should contain an absorption enhancement ingredient such as a Flavonoid for               optimal Vitamin C absorption, as well as additional anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.

Q: Are there any known side effects to look out for?

Of course each product is different, so it is always wise to read the label thoroughly and follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Our research analyzed many natural ingredients and products that generally do not present any side effects if used correctly. However, as with any supplement, we recommend consulting with a doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have an existing medical condition, or are taking regular medication.

Q: What are the dosage instructions for respiratory support supplements?

Again, this differs between products. Always read the label thoroughly and follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully, if you exceed the suggested dosage it may pose health risks. Generally, we found that most products suggest taking 1-3 capsules per day. Some people like to take the complete daily serving together at once, but we recommend spacing it out to achieve optimal benefits from the ingredients contained within the formula.

Q: How long before I start to see results?

Some consumers experience positive effects straight away, while for others it can take longer. Results will vary depending on other factors such as the type of diet you consume, lifestyle choices, and genetic disposition. There are many manufacturers that offer refunds should you not get the results that you are looking for. Such a guarantee shows the manufacturer’s confidence in their products and the results they predict you will achieve.

Q: What should I expect to pay for a good respiratory support supplement?

The cost of products varies between manufacturers. Unfortunately, many are cheap, useless supplements that have been formulated without any science-based evidence behind them. Some of these companies are selling their products for over $100 per bottle, which is too expensive. On average, the best supplements we found are selling between the $50-$70 price range. Often, when products appear cheaper, this is indicative of low quality or a low recommended daily serving, which will not bring the results you are looking for. Be aware. Read the labels.

Q: Which respiratory support supplement is the best one to buy?

As each person’s experience of a product is different, it is difficult to say which one specifically is the best. That said, based on several factors, we did like Approved Science’s Respirasyl. We found that from the 50+ products that we analyzed, Respirasyl had the best quality of ingredients, potency and strength, consumer feedback, and the manufacturer’s customer service.

We hope that our research has been beneficial in helping you make your choice. If you are looking for a well researched product that brings effective results, we think that you can’t go wrong with Respirasyl. It is an excellent quality product with a great price and impressive reviews.
