High potency formulation, suitable for use to relieve symptoms of hay fever and sinusitis


How it works

Horseradish root contains two major ingredients - sinigrin (a glycoside) and myrosin (an enzyme) - which combine to form a volatile oil that facilitates drainage of the nasal mucous membranes and sinuses. Fenugreek acts as a mucilaginous demulcent to soothe inflamed mucous membranes. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is beneficial in reducing both the symptoms and duration of colds.
Garlic exhibits antimicrobial and antibacterial activity, and is used minor respiratory tract infections such as sinusitis. Allicin (an unstable compound formed by the enzymatic action of allinase on alliin), is required to be present for the antimicrobial activity of garlic to take place.

Adults - Take 1 to 2 tablets twice daily with meals, or as professionally prescribed.
