VapoLung Ingredients

🌿

Verbascum thapsus

Mullein is a flowering plant native to Europe and Asia that has been used in traditional herbal medicine for respiratory support for over 2,000 years. VapoLung uses a 10:1 extract, meaning 10 pounds of raw mullein leaf are concentrated into 1 pound of extract — delivering highly concentrated phytochemicals per serving.

Traditional and Documented Uses

Historically, mullein leaf has been associated with soothing throat and airway discomfort, supporting mucus clearance from the respiratory tract and easing the sensation of congestion. It has been documented in the ethnobotanical literature of multiple cultures across Europe, the Americas and the Middle East as a respiratory botanical.

The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) recognizes mullein as a traditionally used herb, noting its historical applications in herbal medicine for respiratory conditions. According to PubMed research, mullein contains saponins, flavonoids and mucilage compounds that may contribute to its traditional respiratory applications.

Active Phytochemicals

• Saponins — compounds associated with expectorant properties in traditional medicine
• Mucilage — a gel-like substance that may soothe mucous membranes of the respiratory tract
• Flavonoids (including luteolin and apigenin) — plant antioxidants studied for anti-inflammatory activity
• Iridoid glycosides — bioactive compounds found in the leaves and flowers of the plant

Zingiber officinale

Ginger is one of the world's most researched botanical ingredients, with thousands of scientific studies exploring its bioactive compounds and health applications. In the context of respiratory health, ginger's natural anti-inflammatory properties make it a valuable addition to the VapoLung formula.

Science Behind Ginger

Ginger root contains bioactive phenolic compounds — primarily gingerols (in fresh ginger) and shogaols (formed when ginger is dried or extracted) — that have been the subject of numerous clinical investigations. The NIH Office of Dietary Supplements recognizes ginger as a widely used dietary supplement with documented bioactive constituents.

Research available through PubMed suggests that ginger bioactives may inhibit inflammatory mediators in airway tissue, which has driven interest in ginger as a botanical support ingredient for respiratory comfort.

Key Bioactive Compounds

• 6-Gingerol — the primary bioactive in fresh ginger root; studied for anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity
• 6-Shogaol — a more potent derivative formed during extraction; the subject of ongoing research
• Zingerone — a phenolic compound with documented antioxidant properties
• Paradols — minor phenolic compounds that contribute to ginger's overall bioactive profile

🍋

Citrus limon

Lemon is one of the most nutrient-dense citrus fruits, providing a rich supply of vitamin C, bioflavonoids and other antioxidant compounds. VapoLung uses certified organic lemon extract, ensuring the highest-quality source free from pesticide residues and synthetic additives.

Vitamin C and Respiratory Health

Vitamin C is an essential water-soluble antioxidant that the human body cannot synthesize on its own. The CDC and NIH Office of Dietary Supplements recognize vitamin C as essential for normal immune function and protection against oxidative stress. These properties are directly relevant to maintaining healthy respiratory tissue.

Bioflavonoids in Lemon

• Hesperidin — a citrus bioflavonoid studied for its antioxidant and vascular-supportive properties
• Quercetin — a widely studied plant flavonoid with well-documented anti-inflammatory activity
• Naringenin — a flavanone abundant in citrus fruits; studied for antioxidant effects
• Eriocitrin — a lemon-specific flavanone antioxidant found in the peel and pulp
• Limonene — a terpene from lemon peel associated with antioxidant and detoxification support
