GENERAL INFORMATION
What is Sinupret® for Kids?
Sinupret for Kids* is a safe, natural remedy that supports healthy sinus, respiratory and immune function for children ages two and up. No other clinically-tested natural remedies are available today in the U.S. that supports all three functions. Sinupret for Kids is one of the world’s leading natural remedies for children. It is a cherry- flavored syrup that promotes healthy drainage of the upper respiratory tract, improves airflow in the nose, supports healthy mucous flow in the nose and sinuses, and supports the immune system. What is a plant-based remedy or herbal supplement?
A plant-based remedy is a product whose active ingredients contain only extracts from plant parts and plant juices. Who manufactures Sinupret?
Sinupret for Kids is made by Bionorica AG, Germany’s leading producer of plant-based remedies. Bionorica is based in the Bavarian city of Neumarkt, Germany, and has offices in nine countries: Germany, Russia, Great Britain, Poland, Spain, Hungary, Austria, Hong Kong, and the United States. Bionorica is the world’s leader in combining sophisticated cultivation and agricultural practices, state-of-the-art technology, and clinical research to produce safe, effective botanical remedies with no history of serious side effects. Is Sinupret for Kids popular in Germany where it was developed?
The Sinupret product line is now the #1 most widely recommended and scientifically tested nasal and sinus support formula in Germany for children and adults, where it has been used for more than 30 years. From April 2007 – April 2008, over 7.5 million units of Sinupret were purchased in Germany alone, with over a half a million units purchased for children under 12. What are the ingredients?
Sinupret for Kids is a natural, plant-based remedy, developed through a proprietary blend of five herbs including European Elder, Sorrel, Cowslip, European Vervain and Gentian. Sinupret does not contain stimulants, caffeine, ephedra, pseudoephedrine, codeine, steroids, narcotics, or gluten. The natural cherry flavoring comes from cherry juice, not artificial ingredients. Does Sinupret contain alcohol?
For botanical products, alcohol is necessary to extract the maximum amount of active ingredients. Sinupret for Kids contains a negligible amount of alcohol that is not detectable in the blood after taking Sinupret syrup in the recommended doses. Alcohol intake with Bionorica products is comparable with, or even smaller than, the amount contained in fruit juices. The low alcohol content also has the advantage of being a safe preservative, so Sinupret does not require additional stabilizers, solubility agents or synthetic preservatives.
