The 3rd supplement on this list is Organic India Full Breath Respiratory Support. This product is made up of 4 different ingredients, including Tulsi, Pushkarmool, Bibhitaki and Pippali. The first three are Ayurvedic adaptogenic herbs that are supposed to promote healthy breathing and contain immunomodulating and antioxidant properties. The Pippali is an absorption and efficiency augmenter that will allow the body to make full use of the first three ingredients while also providing additional immune support.
This supplement is vegan friendly, GMO-free, and organic. It is also Kosher certified so that a wider variety of customers may use it. The benefits are supposed to include respiratory protection, immune system boosting, and stress reduction.
Is Organic India Full Breath Respiratory Support Effective?
It was pretty difficult to glean whether this supplement is effective. We did not find any customer reviews so we couldn’t get a feel for the product. When looking at the ingredients, it seems that they would most likely be partially effective since they contain a small amount of immunomodulatory and adaptogenic components. The piperine in the Pippali ingredient should be able to provide a boost to the bioavailability of the supplement, which is a feature that we definitely liked. However, the rest of the ingredients seem to be negligible, and might only just work for minor breathing or allergic issues.
Is Organic India Full Breath Respiratory Support Safe?
At first glance, this product might seem to be perfectly safe. However, we were quite curious when we saw a little disclaimer that said “California Residents: Prop 65 Warning”. Once we looked it up, we were quite surprised – it was a disclaimer about exposure to dangerous, harmful, or significantly toxic chemicals. The Californian official health hazard website reads as follows: “If a warning is placed on a product label… the business issuing the warning is aware or believes that it is exposing individuals to one or more listed chemicals.”
After reading this, we were quite surprised, but decided to think this out rationally. It could very well be that there was a chance of exposure, or that there were certain ingredients which may produce these chemical substances under certain weather conditions, or if stored too long etc. We have no way of knowing if it was actually a significant warning, or just part of some regulation that pushed businesses to be as transparent as possible, even if there is only an inkling that the product may be able to cause some sort of harm. Either way, we would advise consumers to take this fact into consideration before purchasing this supplement.
Summary
Besides the issue with the disclaimer, we also did not like that this product does not provide a reliable customer satisfaction guarantee. If a customer receives a bottle and does not like what they got, according to the return policy, they cannot get a refund or an exchange. Only specific circumstances, such as receiving a defunct or incorrect product warrants a replacement. A good customer satisfaction guarantee shows us that a manufacturer is confident in their product, and without the use of customer reviews to see the real-life consequences of consumer use, we do not know if this is a product that people who are serious about their health would want to realistically consider.
