Sanderson Sinus FX (previously known as Sinus & Allergy FX) is designed to nutritionally support the natural immune system of the body with emphasis on supporting the healthy functioning of the sinuses. The mucous membranes are the first line of defense in our immune systems for the air we breathe through our noses. As such, they trap a lot of particulate, bacteria, viruses and antigens that can trigger inflammatory reactions that create oxidative stress. This stress-induced mucus often drains into the stomach, where it must be neutralized by the antioxidants. Excessive drainage of mucus can be a source of stomach irritation when it overwhelms the antioxidant systems present.
The botanical blend and the vitamin C in this product are intended to provide a potent blend of plant and algal antioxidants to locally offset some of the oxidative stress associated with sinus irritation and mucus drainage. These botanicals also have reported benefits for general immune support. Many of these compounds are also absorbed systemically, potentially offsetting the net oxidative stress on the entire body. In addition, ginger has been reported to soothe the stomach and may be supportive in the presence of any stomach irritation associated with excessive sinus drainage.
The enzyme blend in Sanderson Sinus FX is intended to nutritionally support healthy sinuses through both systemic enzymatic antioxidant support and through support of healthy immune responses.
Botanical Ingredients
Ginger has been used in foods and as a traditional medicine since at least the time of the ancient Greeks to calm nausea, aid in digestion and respiratory ailments. Extracts of ginger are known to contain numerous antioxidant and anti-inflammatory phytochemicals and enzymes.
Quercetin is a bioflavonoid. Bioflavonoids are antioxidant plant compounds known to enhance the absorption of vitamin C, inhibit the breakdown down of connective tissue, and counter oxidative stresses?
Irish Moss is a type of marine algae that is rich in mucilage, sulfur compounds and other trace minerals. In addition to providing a source of trace minerals, Irish moss may be useful for respiratory, immune and digestive support.
