Upper respiratory infections, such as colds and the flu can be
difficult to avoid during the winter months and are often complicated by lung and sinus
problems such as bronchitis and sinusitis repectively. We can look at two aspects of
respiratory health 1) Helping support the immune system to fight off an infection and 2)
Reducing mucous congestion that is often a consequence.
Immune Support
Echinacea,
there are two to choose from:
8557 Echinacea
1000mg (twice the strength of most products)
Lamberts
Echinacea is one of the strongest products available. Each tablet contains a standardised
extract, equivalent to 1000mg of the dried herb, and provides a guaranteed 4% phenolic
compounds. Whilst many echinacea products sold are tincture in form, Lamberts chose a
tablet form since herbs in solid extract form such as tablets and capsules typically show
greater chemical stability. They also mask the bitter taste of the herb being used.

8578 Echinacea
1000mg and Goldenseal 2000mg (two high potency herbs in one tablet)
Each tablet
of our combined high potency Echinacea and Goldenseal formula contains a standardised
extract, equivalent to 1000mg of dried echinacea, and provides a guaranteed 4% phenolic
compounds like our single echinacea product. Plus it has the advantage of providing a full
100mg extract of goldenseal, equivalent to 2000mg of the whole herb, with a guaranteed 10%
alkaloids. To obtain this high level of both herbs other brands would normally require
buying the two herbs as seperate products but at Lamberts you get the two herbs in one.

Reducing Mucous
Congestion
8520 Bromelain
500mg
Bromelain,
an enzyme derived from the stem of fresh pineapples, is probably best known for its use as
a digestive aid, especially to assist in the digestion of fatty or high protein meals. And
has more recently grown in recognition for helping sports people with sprains and strains.
However, one of the other most popular uses for bromelain amongst practitioners is for
reducing mucous congestion. To be of use a bromelain product must contain at least 2000
gelatin-disolving units (GDUs) per gramme, which is why it is important to use a high
strength product such as ours that contains this relevant level.
