Overview

Respi-Complete combines a wide array of traditional herbs with some evidence-backed ingredients for respiratory and immune support. While certain inclusions like English Ivy, Andrographis, Zinc, and Nutramunity are dosed effectively and supported by research for respiratory and immune health, the overall efficacy is limited by the lack of transparency regarding the dosages of many traditional herbs, as well as the inclusion of potentially problematic ingredients like Lobelia. This lack of specific dosing for a significant portion of the formula makes it impossible to confirm clinical efficacy for those components.

The Good

Contains English Ivy Extract, which has some clinical backing for cough relief.

Includes Zinc and Magnesium at forms and doses which contribute to overall health and immune function.

Bromelain is appropriately dosed and contributes to anti-inflammatory effects.

The Bad

Suboptimal dosing for several key ingredients, potentially limiting efficacy.

Inclusion of Lobelia, an ingredient with significant toxicity concerns, even though doses are not specified.

Licorice powder can cause side effects like high blood pressure and electrolyte imbalances at high doses, or with long-term use.
