Ingredient Summary

Ingredient Summary: BioCeuticals ArmaForce Cough Relief

Thymus vulgaris (thyme)

ArmaForce Cough Relief Thyme is popular in western herbal medicine where it has long been used as an antitussive and antispasmodic for the temporary relief of mild bronchial cough. Its main active constituents include phenol containing volatile oils such as thymol, eugenol and carvacrol, however, it also contains significant quantities of saponins and tannins which can be attributed to some of the herb’s actions.1 According to laboratory studies, the saponin content of thyme has shown expectorant activity and mucociliary clearance, and the tannin content provides astringent action. The phenolic compounds are responsible for the antitussive and antispasmodic activity,1 which help relieve cough and mild upper respiratory tract congestion.

Inula helenium (elecampane)

Laboratory studies have shown elecampane has expectorant, diaphoretic, antibacterial, spasmolytic and bronchospasmolytic actions. It is traditionally used for persistent mild bronchial coughs in western herbal medicine.2-3 Approximately half the root of elecampane contains fructooligosaccharides (FOS) of which 20–44% is inulin.4

Althaea officinalis (marshmallow)

Marshmallow root is a demulcent herb with mucilage properties2 which help to soothe irritation of the oral and pharyngeal mucosa, and associated mild dry cough.5 The highest amount of mucilage polysaccharides are found in the root (25%–35%), with lower levels found in the leaf (5%).4-5 It is the calming and protective actions of mucilaginous properties in marshmallow root that provide the anti-tussive effect, namely heteropolysaccharides and rhamnogalacturonan.4

Zinc

Zinc participates in the function of about 300 enzymes and has a range of effects on the immune system, with inadequate intake associated with an increased susceptibility to infections. Zinc acts as a secondary messenger of immune cells and intracellular free zinc is involved in signalling events of immune cells.6
