Don't know what to do about your seasonal allergies?
Then try Respivits now, and you're sure to love it! Respivits is an innovation on the food supplement market which includes 5 active ingredients rigorously selected for their positive impact on all types of upper respiratory tract problems.
Firstly, there is patented quercetin, which currently has no health claims but has been widely documented in the context of seasonal allergies, and has been the subject of numerous studies showing favourable changes in respiratory function, allergic symptoms and quality of life [1,2]. Added to this is an extract of Greek mountain tea, which also has no claims to date, but has been traditionally used for thousands of years to boost the immune system, according to the current EMA Monograph [3]. Blackcurrant extract is also included, thanks to its high concentration of polysaccharides [4]. Finally, vitamins C and E reinforce all these benefits through their antioxidant and immunity-protecting actions.
Health claims
√ Vitamins C & E help protect cells against oxidative stress;
√ Vitamin C also contributes to the normal function of the immune system in the case of allergies.
Benefits of the formula
√ Quercefit®, patented 100% vegetable quercetin in phytosome form;
√ PhytosomeTM technology: cutting-edge technology representing a solid dispersion of natural compounds in a 100% food matrix based on lecithins, amphipathic molecules that act as self-aggregation inhibitors and effective wetting agents, resulting in optimised solubility, absorption, stability as well as bioavailability of the active ingredient [5];
√ Greek mountain tea, renowned for its high flavonoid content, considered to be the best European tea;
√ Blackcurrant extract standardised to 10% polyphenols;
√ Patented vitamin C (PureWay-C™) in the form of liposomes, which increases the absorption kinetics and cellular retention of vitamin C[6];
√ 100% natural & plant-based galenic form (pullulan).
