CanPrev
Healthy Lung Formula (60 capsules)
One way to protect yourself (without resorting to wearing a mask) is to supplement with antioxidants (molecules that can neutralize free radicals and terminate their chain reaction).
That’s the premise of CanPrev’s Healthy Lungs™, an advanced, multi-oxidant formula that contains 1200mg of NAC daily, a respiratory detoxifier and mucolytic agent that goes straight to work helping to prevent and repair cellular damage caused by exposure to smoking, environmental pollution or even heavy exercise.
Available at our Arbour Lake, Southland, 130th Ave and Enjoy Centre locations.
Healthology
Lung-FX Formula
When we have high exposures to toxins, smoke, or other particles, the lungs’ natural defense systems have difficulty keeping up, and it impacts our ability to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. Reduced lung function makes us feel tired because our body can’t make enough energy.
LUNG-FX works by providing antioxidant support while at the same time working as as expectorant to help eliminate excess mucous from the upper respiratory passages.
Available at our Arbour Lake, Southland, 130th Ave and Enjoy Centre locations.
Health First Network
Respir First Formula, NAC (120 capsules)
Health First Respir First contains herbs that may ease a multitude of respiratory issues. Nettle combats seasonal allergy symptoms, marshmallow works on sore throats, thyme relieves bronchitis, and astragalus bolsters your immune system. Sweetened with cinnamon, cloves, and honey, Respir First is a delicious morning tonic!
N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine, or NAC, provides a direct source of cysteine and is known most notably for its ability to support immune health. NAC is required to make glutathione, one of our body’s most important antioxidants. It can help to relieve respiratory conditions such as bronchitis by reducing inflammation and loosening mucous that can constrict air passages.
Available at all our locations.
