What better to know about sore throats?
Most commonly, sore throats are caused by an inflammatory disease called pharyngitis. Almost every person gets sick of it at least once a year.
Three are the major factors that cause inflammation of the throat - viruses, bacteria and noninfectious factors - mechanical, chemical, thermal irritants, stomach reflux and allergies. The most common cause, however, is viruses. For this reason, the unjustified use of antibiotic preparations is wrong and harmful to the body.
If there is an inflammation of the vocal cords, we are talking about laryngitis. Causes are usually the same as for pharyngitis, but can also result from overloading the voice. Laryngitis is often accompanied by loss of voice, hoarseness, dry tingling cough and dry throat. Very often, the inflammatory process can involve both larynx and pharynx.
One of the most commonly used throat devices is sucking pads.
At present, many preparations have been developed which have a variety of mechanisms of action, composition and dosage of the active substances.
Some of them have a pronounced local antiviral effect and contain different antiviral agents such as ionized zinc, natural and synthetic molecules. Others contain antibacterial agents of both natural origin, such as e.g. propolis, and artificially created. Their local effect against inflammation causes a more rapid relief of symptoms (pain, swelling, irritation, etc.) and helps to manage the infection more rapidly.
Sucking tablets are also intended to relieve one of the most irritating symptoms - dry throat. This problem is most commonly solved with a classic sweetener, such as sugar or with more modern remedies such as hyaluronic acid.
Formulations with synergistically active ingredients provide high efficacy in symptomatic management of throat infections. As a result, symptoms are relieved faster, they last shorter, and healing is faster.
2. What is STREPTOGUARD?
STREPTOGUARD is a sucking tablet that releases 2 mg of propolis, 5 mg of ionized zinc, 20 mg of vitamin C and 10 mg of hyaluronic acid. It has a beneficial effect on the health and function of the throat, the tonsils, the airways and the mucous membrane of the oral cavity. It helps to protect cells from oxidative stress. It enhances the feeling of comfort in the throat, the airways and the oral cavity.
Each STREPTOGUARD tablet contains:
PWEtm-MD water extract of Brazilian propolis - 2 mg;
Ionized zinc - 5 mg;
Vitamin C - 20 mg;
Hyaluronic acid - 10 mg.
STREPTOGUARD is a nutritional supplement.
Zinc contributes to the normal function of the immune system, protects the cells from oxidative stress and participates in the process of their division. In order to have its positive effect, the mineral must be in an ionised state. Zinc acetate used in Streptogard® is ionized 100% in the oral cavity.
Zinc forms (salts) which are partially ionized do not have the above-described effect in the tolerable doses.
PWE -MD is an aqueous extract of Brazilian propolis standardized to organic aromatic acids. It is obtained with a unique Green Extraction ™ method only with water, without chemical solvents, which provides high concentration of biologically active substances, excellent solubility and bioavailability, as well as exceptional purity and absence of unwanted impurities and beeswax. The Brazilian
propolis has a specific composition characteristic of this region of the world and is distinguished by the high content of organic aromatic acids and a specific phenolic profile that have a clinically proven positive effect on the health of the throat, tonsils, airways and mucous membranes of the oral cavity and sinuses .
Hyaluronic acid is a molecule with important biological functions that is naturally found in the human body. It has the ability to attract and retain large amounts of water, so it is believed to be responsible for the water content of some of the tissues in the body and is a natural moisturizing agent. When taken as a sucking tablet, hyaluronic acid forms a cover film on the lining of the throat and the oral cavity, and enhances the feeling of comfort.
Vitamin C has strong antioxidant protection in the oral cavity and throat. Helps and strengthens the normal function of the immune system. It helps to reduce the feeling of tiredness and fatigue.
