Bronchitis remains one of the most common diagnoses made by primary healthcare providers. This condition is so common in fact, that it costs the health care system upwards of 300 million dollars annually. However, Acute Bronchitis should not be confused with Chronic Bronchitis, which is a much severer form of the condition and a principal manifestation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD). Regardless of condition origin, bronchitis as a whole remains a difficult condition for providers to treat as its pathophysiology (functional changes associated with the illness) is still misunderstood.
Treatment protocols for this illness also lack clarity. Realizing
that specific dietary factors, including nutritional supplementation, can influence
inflammatory activity, antioxidant status in the body, and respiratory health,
Progressive Health has created Airzene to fill the void between your illness
and prescribed treatment regimen.
With its clinically evaluated ingredient list, Airzene may be helpful for treating
the underlying infection by relieving bronchial inflammation and lessening the
severity of cough symptoms.
The formal definition? The American Academy of Family Physicians defines Chronic Bronchitis as, “a respiratory condition characterized by a chronic cough productive of sputum (secretion that is coughed up) over three months time during two consecutive years, with a presence of airflow obstruction.” Confused? Here’s a simpler definition: an airflow obstruction, resulting in the presence of chronic sputum production over a specified duration, usually greater than a month’s time. These characteristics typically confirm a clinical diagnosis of chronic bronchitis.
Regardless of the definitions given above, if you’ve been coughing for more than three weeks, your condition may indeed be considered ‘chronic.’ Over 10 million Americans are affected by this form of COPD. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disorders (COPDs) are the fourth leading cause of death in the United States, causing some 40, 000 deaths annually. Additionally, the cough is the fifth most common symptom for which individuals seek medical care; approximately 30 million visits a year.
The most common underlying factor for one developing chronic cough is if a patient has a history of smoking. 90% of all chronic cough patients smoke regularly, or have a positive smoking history. Interestingly, chronic cough has been shown to manifest as active airway inflammation in ex-smokers who have been smoke-free for over a decade. Despite these findings, current research estimates that only 15% of all smokers will be diagnosed with an obstructive airway disease. Others factors attributed to causing chronic cough include:
Allergies - Allergies can cause an overproduction of mucus that
runs down your throat from the back of the nose. This “postnasal drip”
can cause chronic cough. For this reason, it is wise to avoid any known allergens
like dust, smoke, pollen, and animals.
Medicines - Although widely overlooked as a causal agent, some medicines can
cause chronic cough. These include ACE inhibitors and Beta blockers (medicines
to treat high blood pressure and heart failure).
Asthma - One of the main culprits of a nagging cough is asthma. People with
mild to moderate asthma often times never realize they have the condition and
do not attribute their chronic cough to asthma. However, doctors usually prescribe
medication if they believe your cough is caused by an underlying condition such
as asthma.
Acid Reflux - Stomach acid that makes its way back up to the throat (often called
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) as “heartburn,” can also cause
pain and chronic cough.
Regardless of its cause, chronic cough remains extremely difficult to treat. Treatments are directed at the underlying cause after extensive physical examinations; including smoking cessation and prescription medications. In addition to these recommendations, influenza immunizations and exercise of the respiratory and associated muscles (e.g. aerobic exercise) remains important for treating the troublesome symptoms associated with this condition. Oxygen therapy, adequate hydration, and nutritional support are also advised for the long-term management of chronic bronchitis. Antibiotics have been shown to assist with only acute exacerbations, and only lead to modest improvement of airflow in persons suffering from chronic bronchitis. Again, physicians will determine treatment based upon the individual, his/her underlying conditions, and disease severity.
Malnutrition is common in many individuals suffering from Chronic Bronchitis. There is also mounting evidence suggesting that malnutrition occurs despite the adequate intake of many dietary nutrients. This underscores the importance of receiving additional nutrients via dietary supplements like Progressive Health’s Airzene.
Vitamin C - Data that was collected from the Second National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey revealed that Vitamin C serum levels were associated with bronchitis. The higher the serum content, the less likely an individual was to contract bronchitis. Vitamin C also provides antihistaminic relief, due to its ability to metabolize and detoxify histamines. This is important as specific allergens are known to worsen the symptoms of chronic bronchitis.
Zinc - Low zinc levels have been found in patients with Chronic Bronchitis. Results have shown that supplementing zinc into your diet results with improvements to general health, and may be especially helpful for respiratory conditions.
N-Acetyl L-Cysteine - This agent has been found to be useful when administered to those with chronic bronchitis. Several studies indicate a significant reduction in the number of acute exacerbations each month while also lowering the numbers of sick days and hospitalization. NAC helps break down mucus. For this reason, inhaled NAC is often used in hospitals to treat bronchitis. NAC is also thought to protect lung tissue via its potent antioxidant activity. Oral NAC, 200mg taken three times per day, has also been deemed effective for improving symptoms in people with acute bronchitis in double-blind research.
The other ingredients found in Airzene also provide the body with many other benefits. Licorice Root has been shown to support antiviral activity, support the stress response, as well as inflammatory response - all key influences that promote chronic bursitis symptoms. Cordyceps has been traditionally used for improving respiration and helping individuals with decreased lung function, such as asthma and bronchitis. The powerful root, Astragalus, has been shown to promote the regeneration of cells in the bronchi after they have been exposed to a viral infection. As well, the popular herb Echinacea Purpurea has also been included to strengthen the immune system and to help the body rid itself of upper respiratory tract infections.
With its extensive ingredient list, it is no wonder why Airzene
has proven itself helpful for those experiencing respiratory illnesses like
chronic cough. By metabolizing and detoxifying histamines, providing comprehensive
nutritional support, and strengthening the immune system, Airzene can be used
as your supplementary tool for clearing bronchial passage ways and reducing
the inflammation caused by Bronchitis. Find out what other’s have about
this revolutionary respiratory support formula. “Breath easier today,

Airzene may be helpful for respiratory tract infections such as
Bronchitis by detoxifying histamines. Airzene has antihistaminic ingredients
that may allow the body to metabolize and detoxify histamines. This is helpful
for those experiencing respiratory infections along with a horrible cough.
Lower tract infections usually occur when defense mechanisms are impaired due to some external factor such as cigarette smoke or exposure to irritants in the air (such as heavy smog). Some symptoms of respiratory infections include:
-A noticeable cough
-Coughing up mucous in the morning
-Noises such as wheezing may be heard while breathing
-An increase in the size of your rib cage
-A bluish color in the fingernails and lips
These symptoms are a result of what can be or what will become a form of a respiratory infection such as Bronchitis. Double-blind placebo controlled studies have shown that the ingredients in Airzene have the ability to metabolize and detoxify histamines. This will help clear bronchial passages and reduce inflammation associated with Bronchitis.
This customer had a chronic cough due to his smoking habit that lasted 20 years, here is his story:
"I recently quit smoking and I decided I wanted to live a
healthier life. I have a pretty bad cough from my smoking habit, but I heard
that Airzene could help and I didn't want my cough to turn into bronchitis.
I think that is what you get from the cough, anyways I tried your product for
a few months and I have seen some good results. My cough is getting much better
and I feel extremely good after taking Airzene. Just wanted to say thanks!"
