Libytec Combishield 15caps

Respiratory infections are among the most frequently occurring diseases and are important causes of mortality and hospitalization, especially in winter. Their successful treatment must combine the reduction of their frequency of occurrence, the reduction of the duration and severity of their symptoms and in addition good tolerance.

Most of the antiviral drugs can target a viral enzyme during different stages of viral replication. Another method to prevent the occurrence of infections is to regulate/enhance the immune system. Herbal compounds have been suggested as alternatives. These are generally safer than drugs and are less likely to deal with resistant viruses, due to the complexity of their actions.

In addition, some herbal preparations can target both the virus itself and the symptoms caused by infection with it. Some of them also have antibacterial and antioxidant activity.

Cistus creticus (Cretan frankincense or aladanos) has been known since ancient times for its medicinal properties. Cistus leaves have the highest polyphenol content of any other plant in Europe.

Natural polyphenols display a wide range of biological activities. They have been shown to be powerful antioxidants with potential health benefits, being able to protect the heart, support the biological activity of vitamin C, protect against premature skin aging, and bind viruses and bacteria.

The extract from Cistus criticus

• exhibits strong antimicrobial and antiviral activity
• does not lead to the development of tolerance after repeated administration
• reduces the severity and duration of symptoms in people with upper respiratory tract infections

Royal jelly is another component of the specially studied composition of COMBISHIELD. One of the main biologically active compounds contained is 10-hydroxy-trans-2-decenoic acid (10HDA), an unsaturated fatty acid found in nature only in it. Royal jelly possesses significant antimicrobial properties against different pathogens. 10HDA can inhibit the activity of both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria and fungi.

The freeze-dried royal jelly powder

• has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activity
• has an immunoregulatory effect
• provides essential nutrients and improves metabolism

In addition to the two extracts two important trace elements, zinc and selenium enhance the composition of COMBISHIELD. Both contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system and the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

All the components of COMBISHIELD work synergistically and contribute to the reduction

• frequency and duration of infection
• duration and severity of symptoms of the required drug load

People who can benefit from the administration of COMBISHIELD include students, athletes, smokers, the elderly, people who have had infections in their close environment, people who have a bad history and in general those who are prone to seasonal respiratory infections.

Taking COMBISHIELD is recommended before the start of the winter season, as well as when the incidence of infections starts to increase.
