Ingredients
These days, wise consumers want to know exactly what's in the supplements they take. We want you to know what our natural stop smoking aid ingredients are. We're proud of our formula, and are happy to share this with you.
Lobelia Extract
Lobelia (Lobelia inflata), also known as Indian tobacco, contains a substance (lobeline) that has some effects on the nervous system that are similar to the effects of cigarette smoking, and preliminary reports suggested that pure lobeline or lobelia herb could be used to support smoking cessation.
Licorice Root Extract
Licorice has a long and highly varied record of uses. It was and remains one of the most important herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Among its most consistent and important uses are as a demulcent (soothing, coating agent) in the digestive and urinary tracts.
Passion Flower
The effects of passion flower were believed to be primarily on the nervous system, particularly for stress due to mental worry and overwork. 1 The effectiveness of passion flower to reduce stress has been studied in a double-blind study. In that study, 45 drops per day of an extract of passion flower taken for four weeks was as effective in reducing stress. 2
Coral Calcium
Many medical doctors recommend calcium carbonate because it requires the fewest pills to reach a given level of calcium and it is readily available and inexpensive. For people concerned about cost and only willing to swallow two to three calcium pills per day, calcium carbonate is a sensible choice.
Ginger Extract
Traditional Chinese Medicine has recommended ginger for over 2,500 years. It is used for digestive upset and is thought to promote calmness.
Linden Flowers
The major active constituents in linden are flavonoids, glycosides, and possibly a volatile oil. One study found that a complex mixture of compounds, primarily flavonoids, reduced stress in mice. 1
Mullein Root
Mullein leaves and flowers have been used to promote mucus discharge and to sooth mucous membranes. Historically, mullein has been used by herbalists to support respiratory track health.
Spearmint Leaves
Spearmint Leaf has been used for culinary and medicinal purposes since the time of the ancient Romans. It has been used to promote proper inflammatory response of gum, but Spearmint is most often used as a mild digestive aid to combat indigestion and flatulence.
Hawthorne Berries
The leaves, flowers, and berries of hawthorn contain a variety of bioflavonoids that appear to be primarily responsible for the cardiac actions of the plant. Flavonoids found in hawthorn include oligomeric procyanidins (OPCs), vitexin, vitexin 4’-O-rhamnoside, quercetin, and hyperoside. These compounds are often standardized in leaf and flower extracts, which are widely used in Europe.
Wood Betony
Native to Europe, wood betony is now planted in many parts of the world with temperate climates. The primary portions of the plant that are used as medicine are the leaves and flowers, though historically the root has also been used.
Bioperine
Bioperine is the only product sourced out of piperine to obtain a patented status for its ability to increase the bioavailability of nutritional compounds. Secondly, it is the only source from piperine to have undergone clinical studies in the U.S. to substantiate its safety and efficacy for nutritional use.
