We examine the ingredients in descending order of quantity on the label and check what we will take with this supplement:
Maltodextrin is a safe component used in countless applications: viscosity agent, preservative, improves product consistency, counteracts the action of Acinetobacter baumannii and Staphylococcus aureus, important nosocomial pathogens. it is also used as a low-calorie softener.
Sorbitol is an artificial sweetener with a sweetening power of about 60% of sugar and a caloric power of about 40% less than sugar. It is obtained industrially by a chemical process from glucose. It also has other interesting qualities such as anti-mould, anti-yeast and preservative.
N-acetylcysteine (it is present with 300mg in 1 sachet) is a compound of acetylated cysteine used for a long time as an adjuvant in bronchitis in the role of fluidifying agent and expectorant of excessive mucus as well as to combat the toxicity of some components such as doxorubicin, paracetamol, acute respiratory distress syndrome. It is included in many formulas of food supplements for its established role as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.
Aroma is a flavouring chemical component.
Bromelain (it is present with 100mg in 1 sachet) is a biomolecule, an enzyme that has many properties: anti-inflammatory, antiarthritic, antitumor.
Vitamin C or ascorbic acid, (it is present with 80mg in 1 sachet) is an antioxidant. The body is not able to produce vitamin C on its own and does not store it. It is therefore important to take a certain amount of vitamin C with foods that contain it, daily. It is used in the treatment of colds and flu.
Citric acid, an acid obtained from lemon juice and other fruits, chard juice and other vegetables. It is used as an excipient in pharmaceutical products as an anticoagulant and preservative.
Resveratrol (it is present with 10mg in 1 sachet) is a natural component, a polyphenolic compound found in nature mainly in the skin and seeds of grapes and peanuts. It is an antioxidant.
Ederagenin (present with 0.6mg in 1 sachet) is a saponin and the scientific literature attributes it a wide range of properties such as anti-inflammatory, antidepressant, hepatoprotective.
Zinc citrate is a chemical compound and is used as a dietary supplement in cases of zinc deficiency. Zinc in the human body is an important immunological barrier and its deficiency can lead to skin, bone and eye diseases. It also has antioxidant properties.
Sucralose is obtained industrially by a chemical process from glucose. It's an artificial sweetener.
Silicon dioxide or colloidal silica is an anti-caking agent, prevents lumps from forming in the dough. It must not exceed 2% of the total weight of the product in which it is inserted.
Comment
The ingredients are carefully chosen and targeted to the most common winter sicknesses such as colds, coughs. In particular N-acetylcysteine plays the primary role as a fluidifying agent.I am surprised to see in third place, in order of quantity, Aroma, pure chemistry that I hope can be replaced with a natural flavouring. Sucralose also seems to me unnecessary because Sorbitol performs very well the function of sweetener.
Conclusion
Great product, but I'd prefer without Aroma.
