Lung Capaci-T

Product overview

Breathe sigh of relief for LifeSeaons® Lung Capaci-T®! Featuring a powerful combination of nutrients and herbs to support healthy lung capacity for optimal oxygen uptake, maintain the balance of normal mucous levels for congestion support and soothe the respiratory tract for healthy respiratory function.

• Natural support for healthy lung function and respiratory support
• Supports normal, balanced mucous levels in congested lungs
• Formulated with the functional mushroom Cordyceps, rich in antioxidants that support lung volume and oxygen intake
• Mullein, Coleus and N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) provide well-established support for healthy mucous membranes, relaxed and open airways, and healthy mucous levels.

What is lung capacity and why is it important?

Breathing is so automatic; we rarely think about it. Lung capacity is the maximum volume of air your lungs can hold. As we breathe, oxygen moves into the lungs, then passes into tiny sacs called alveoli. From the alveoli, oxygen diffuses into the blood, and combines with hemoglobin in red blood cells. The red blood cells transport oxygen from the blood vessels to the cells of the body for energy production. Men typically have greater lung capacity than women, but everyone experiences a decrease of functional lung capacity with age. The decline begins in your mid-20s, and certain health conditions can impact lung capacity and function even more. Lung capacity is important for maximal oxygen uptake, oxygen being a vital ‘nutrient’ needed by all cells in the body. Low oxygen levels can impair general functioning, leaving you feeling low on energy or have trouble focusing on tasks.

Natural support for lung health

Lung health is impacted by a variety of factors from environmental pollution and inhaled contaminants to immune challenges and the body’s mucous-forming response to seasonal allergens. These factors can undermine the lung’s ability to open widely to absorb sufficient oxygen, and oxygen uptake may become less efficient. Congestion and lung capacity can be supported with specific breathing exercises, such as slowly inhaling through the nose and exhaling through pursed lips.

Healthy living habits like eating antioxidant-rich vegetables and fruits, getting plenty of sleep, not smoking, and exercising regularly can certainly support lung health. Simple home-based activities can also support lung health, including using air purifiers and replacing air filters regularly, keeping indoor plants to improve air quality, removing dust and other airborne allergens and avoiding artificially scented chemicals in décor products. Taking Lung Capaci-T® is also supportive, with a formula featuring research-backed ingredients to support healthy respiratory function, lung capacity and oxygen uptake.

What makes Lung Capaci-T® different?

Lung Capaci-T® supports healthy respiration and the lung’s ability to transport oxygen throughout the body. It is a nutritional tonic, with a complex blend of many functional and nourishing ingredients that provide targeted support for complete lung health.

• Boswellia – supports healthy respiratory tissue response to immune cytokines for open airways and optimal oxygen uptake.
• Coleus Forskohlii – supports relaxed and open airways for improved oxygen uptake.
• Grape Seed and Green Tea - antioxidant-rich herbs to support the delicate tissues of the lungs, which are particularly vulnerable to oxidative stress.
• Ginkgo – circulatory supporting Ginkgo ensures optimal flow of nutrients to tissues. Also provides supplemental support against the activity of PAF (platelet activating factor), a chemical mediator of the immune response that can impact lung function.
• Mullein – a soothing herb of the mucous membranes with additional antimicrobial support for clearing the respiratory passages.
• Cordyceps – supports optimal uptake of oxygen in the lungs, support for mucous and congestion clearance and general lung function.
• Eucalyptus – with expectorant properties, Eucalyptus is well-known for its supports on managing respiratory congestion, helping to loosen mucous in the respiratory passages.
• NAC and Bromelain – support the clearance of respiratory mucous congestion, with additional antioxidant support for healthy immune respiratory function.
• Nettle – supports balanced histamine levels in response to allergens.
• Peppermint – provides cooling and soothing support on the airways, and calms a tickly throat and chest.

Herbal extracts and standardised constituents explained

LifeSeasons® use a combination of extracted and non-extracted herbs in their formulations. The main advantage of using extracted herbs is that the phytochemicals are more concentrated and provide more potent health support. Herbal constituents that may be lost during the extraction process are preserved with the use of non-extracted herbs, which is why some products include both options in the formulation. A standardised herbal extract is one that has one or more phytochemicals present in a specific, guaranteed amount. Standardisation normally involves measuring the amount of at least one or two phytochemicals that have been researched and identified as having health benefits when taken at a particular dose. This dual use makes for a more potent formulation that unites the benefits of traditionally used whole-herbs with the evidence-based efficacy of particular plant constituents well-researched for their health effects.
