History and interesting facts about lungwort

Pulmonaria officinalis is a perennial plant native to Europe and Asia, known for its unique beauty and traditional uses. Although its flowers and leaves are striking, a key part of its value is in its roots. The roots of lungwort are thick and robust. These roots have been collected and studied throughout history due to their natural components.

Why use the root?

We use lungwort root as the native element in our extract due to its high concentration of bioactive compounds that accumulate in this part of the plant. Throughout its life cycle, the root acts as a reservoir of nutrients, phytochemicals, and other phytoelements, making it a powerful and stable source of unique properties and characteristics. By extracting and concentrating these compounds, the lungwort complex extract can harness the potency the root offers in a more concentrated form, which wouldn't be possible with other parts of the plant.

High-concentration extraction

A 10 times more concentrated lungwort root extract, like the one we use at HSN, is superior to consuming the native root because it maximises the amount of compounds present in the preparation, allowing you to get the effects in smaller, more effective doses. By concentrating the key components of the root, such as its phytochemicals,we achieve a greater potency in the final product. This not only makes it easier to consume, as you only need one vegetable capsule per day, but also ensures consistency in the plant’s quality and processing, which can vary in the native root depending on growth and harvest conditions, as cultivation batches are not always as standardised. This is not the case with extracts.

Broad-spectrum natural composition

Although we usually emphasise the importance of standardising the most relevant compounds in a plant extract, when the characteristic compounds are not clearly defined, or the composition’s attributes are global to the plant rather than any specific element, broad-spectrum extracts where no particular elements are isolated or standardised are the best choice. This is why our lungwort extract is not standardised.

Complex - With NAC and Vit D3 - Complete action

The lungwort extract we offer not only contains the concentrated lungwort root but is also a complex in itself. It includes additional elements that support the overall formula:

•  NAC (N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine): A derivative of the amino acid L-cysteine. N-acetylcysteine is formed by adding an acetyl group to cysteine, making it more soluble and bioavailable. It is biologically related to glutathione.
•  Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol): A form of vitamin D produced in the skin when exposed to ultraviolet radiation from the sun. It is one of the two main forms of vitamin D. Vitamin D3 is present in small amounts in animal-based foods, such as fatty fish, liver, and egg yolks.

Can be combined with other HSN formulas. Try it with Respi Biotics!

The lungwort extract, as well as other elements in the formula (NAC and Vitamin D), is fully compatible with any type of compound typically used in dietary supplements.

There is particular interest in combining this supplement with:

•  Respi Biotics.
•  Seasonal Change Vitamins.

With these 3 products, you have a total and complete combo to benefit from all their properties.
