Description
Important benefits from a respiratory tract treatment:
- Mucolytic: aids in the breaking up of mucous in the lungs, making it easier to expel
- Expectorant: aids in the expulsion of mucous from the lungs
- Cough Easing: to reduce the risk of damage to the lungs
- Bronchodilation: to open the airways for easier breathing
How does Respimin work?
Respimin contains elements such as calcium, sodium and magnesium, which are important catalysts for enzymatic function in the respiratory tract. Respimin also plays a crucial role in maintaining the movement of cilia, the tiny organelles that sweep mucous and dirt out of the lungs. In Recurrent Airway Obstruction (RAO), there is a reduction in the volume of air that the horse can breathe in. This results in clinical signs of disease such as coughing, and an inability to compete at the highest level. Respimin helps to maintain normal dilation of the bronchi, and encourages the natural responses to noxious stimuli eg; coughing and mucous expectoration. Respimin also contains a unique blend of herbs that have been shown in both horses and humans to maintain good respiratory tract health.
