No Hard Pills To Swallow For Scratchy Throat: Oral Strips To The Rescue!

It is very normal for people to cough. Yes, coughing is the body’s natural way of acknowledging that an irritant has entered your throat or air passageway. The irritant in question stimulates the nerves that send your brain a message, which further communicates with the muscles in your chest and abdomen to push air out of your lungs to get rid of the irritant. That’s why an occasional cough is quite normal and not something you should worry about. However, if you have chronic, persistent cough for several weeks with discoloured or bloody mucus, you may require medical attention.

The causes of coughing can vary right from viral infections like cold and flu, allergens, asthma, acid reflux to something more serious like symptoms for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Most of the time, you don’t require medications to cure a sore throat or cough. They can more or less be dealt with natural remedies such as sipping warm liquid with honey and lemon juice or gargling with salt water, among other things. However, if the symptoms are chronic, you may need to resort to over the counter medications to overcome it. But what will you do if you are someone who is always prone to cough? You need to resort to supplements that will not only prevent you from getting frequent cough bouts but also stop it from becoming acute. That’s how Wellbeing Nutrition’s oral thin strips, Melts Throat Relief, comes into the picture.  

What is Wellbeing Nutrition’s Melts Throat Relief?

Wellbeing Nutrition’s Melts Throat Relief are rapid mouth-dissolving oral thin strips, which combine the benefits of advanced nanoscience with the plant-derived extracts like mint, manuka honey, holy basil, sweet violet, ginger, curcumin, clove and licorice root. All thanks to the patented German technology called the Unison Effect, a sophisticated sublingual delivery system, these oral thin strips dissolve immediately the moment they come in contact with the surface of your tongue.

Why Choose Melts Throat Relief Over Traditional Cough Medicines?

These mouth-dissolving oral strips are a boon as you don’t need to swallow them like the traditional pills, capsules and syrups, which can be quite cumbersome to do in an already sore throat. All you need to do is place the strip on your tongue, and it will ‘melt’ as soon as it touches the muscular organ. This ensures easy and quick absorption of nutrients compared to its equivalent traditional capsules, pills, or gummies.

These strips also embody the sublingual delivery system, which is a pharmacological route of supplementation or drug administration. This delivery system allows substances to easily dissolve in the bloodstream through the tissues situated under the tongue. This ensures quick absorption as compared to the pills/tablets taken orally, which go via the gut where it is metabolised before entering the bloodstream.

The high-end Unison Effect sublingual technology together with natural, 100 percent natural and organic ingredients have a symbiotic effect, making these oral thin strips the most effective form of dietary supplements.
