Introduction
VitaPost Lung Support is a dietary supplement that has become increasingly relevant in the world today. Featuring vitamin C, vitamin K (menaquinone), antioxidants, targeted botanicals and a healthy serving of Cordyceps mushroom extract, Lung Support provides nutritional support for a healthy respiratory system.
Essential Vitamins
Vitamin C is well-known for supporting the immune system, but it has specific benefits for the lungs too. Vitamin K supports healthy levels of Matrix Gla Protein, which in turn supports the elastin that’s so important for healthy, pliable lungs
Antioxidants & Botanicals
Quercetin, Citrus Bioflavonoids, and Pine Bark extract are all potent herbal compounds that support the body’s antioxidant potential. Feverfew, Butterbur, and Stinging Nettle are botanicals that are associated with support for the respiratory system in traditional practices, and the science is following closely behind.
The lungs are supported and protected by muscles and bones. The diaphragm is the strong wall of muscle that separates your chest cavity from your abdominal cavity. When inhaling (‘inspiration’) the diaphragm contracts and the chest cavity enlarges, creating a vacuum that pulls air into the lungs. When exhaling (‘expiration’) the diaphragm relaxes and air is forced out of the lungs.
With age and lifestyle choices, lung function begins to change. This is due to several factors. Muscles weaken with age including the diaphragm. Elasticity is naturally lost in the lung tissue. The rib cage may tighten, leaving less room for the lungs to expand. While some reduction in lung capacity is normal with age, you can support your lungs by avoiding exposure to pollutants, exercising, supporting your immune system, and ensuring you have a well-balanced diet.1
