Blackmores Super Strength Horseradish, Garlic + C formula contains a potent combination of herbs that have traditionally been used to relieve nasal and mucous congestion associated with sinusitis and upper respiratory tract infections such as the common cold. Horseradish and garlic have also traditionally been used for the symptoms of hayfever.
Features and benefits
- Super strength formula for powerful relief of nasal congestion
How it works Horseradish contains pungent compounds, called mustard oils, which are thought to be the constituents which give it the traditionally recognised decongestant effect. Horseradish has been used to help clear the respiratory passages.
Garlic has traditionally been used for the relief of hayfever, coughs, colds, flu and rhinitis. Garlic contains sulphur compounds which are responsible for many of the beneficial actions of garlic.
Fenugreek acts as a demulcent which helps to soothe inflamed mucous membranes.
Vitamin C is important in immunity as it is involved in the function of white blood cells and antibodies. It is therefore beneficial in dealing with mild respiratory tract infections, such as colds.
Dosage Adults - Take 1 to 2 tablets twice a day with meals, or as professionally prescribed. For more severe congestion take 2 tablets 3 times a day with meals.
