What does it do?

Pelargonium sidoides 11% ethanol extract is a natural component extracted from the roots of the South African plant Pelargonium sidoides. It is primarily used to relieve cough and phlegm symptoms caused by acute respiratory infections. This ingredient is included in pharmaceuticals to assist the defensive function of the respiratory mucosa and reduce inflammation.

This ingredient inhibits the proliferation of pathogens in the respiratory mucosa and alleviates the inflammatory response. As a result, cough and phlegm are reduced, leading to improved respiratory symptoms. It also helps normalize the respiratory environment by regulating mucus secretion.
