Got the sniffles, sinus congestion or cough?

Runny or stuffy nose, congestion and fatigue are common during the cold and flu season.  During this time of the year the immune system may be dependent on special (proteolytic) enzymes.

Mucus is defined as the clear viscid secretions of the mucus membranes, consisting of mucin, epithelial cells and leukocytes.  When germs that cause colds first infect the nose and sinuses, the nose produces clear mucus.  After two or three days, the body’s immune cells fight back, changing the mucus to a white or yellow color.  As the bacteria that live in the nose grow back, they may also be found in the mucus, which changes the mucus to a greenish color.  There are many things that can cause excess mucus besides the common cold or flu.  Among them are cold temperatures, seasonal allergies or medications.

MucoStop contains a blend of enzymes formulated to break down mucus, which supports the body’s ability to reduce histamine and alleviate sinus and chest congestion.  The active ingredient in MucoStop, mucolase, is a potent mucolytic enzyme that is effective at reducing mucus.  Mucolase is combined with protease and amylase, blended to assist in overcoming the symptoms often associated with sinus and chest congestion.

Special enzymes classified as proteolytic (breaks down protein) and mucolytic (breaks down mucus) are beneficial at breaking down mucus.  Not all proteases, however, can break down all proteins.  For example, a protease that is an effective digester of food protein will not be a good protease for mucus protein.  The mucus protein requires an enzyme classified as proteolytic and also mucolytic (breaks down mucus).  Mucolase stands alone in this category.

A common symptom of allergies is excess mucus.  MucoStop contains amylase Thera-blend to help the body reduce histamine levels and promote antihistamine qualities that may assist those with seasonal allergy symptoms.

Many of our clients have found MucoStop extremely helpful with coughs, colds and flu where they have excessive mucus or very thick irritating mucus that they cannot cough up or blow out their nose.

Two capsules 3 times a day 1 hour before meals or 2 hours after meals is the therapeutic dose, and many people experience relief within 24 hours.
