The Best Supplements for Sinus Health
Posted on by Village Green Nutrition Team
Sinus problems can have a significant effect on your quality of life. Issues with sinuses can cause blockages, breathing difficulties, discomfort and distraction. More than 50 million Americans suffer from allergies. Most tend to experience these issues in the spring when pollen is most rampant, but they can be experienced at all times of the year.
There are supplements that can help relieve sneezing, stuffiness and sinus pressure – no matter what season – and assist you in maintaining overall respiratory health and preventing infection. This guide will explore which vitamins and supplements you might consider to help get this issue under control.
What Vitamins Support the Sinuses?
Vitamins are excellent for helping to support the body’s overall health, wellness and function. Certain ones may help relieve respiratory problems by reducing symptoms and boosting the immune system. Taking these vitamins on a daily basis may help calm inflammation, prevent infection, reduce sinus pressure or relieve a runny nose.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is rich in carotenoids and plays a crucial role in regulating the immune system. A fully functioning immune system can help fight off infection, bacteria and viruses. This vitamin promotes skin health and maintains the mucous membranes, which act as barriers to infection. You can take this in supplement form, but you can also get it from foods such as chicken liver, beef, carrots, kale, cantaloupe and spinach.
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant. It helps support the body’s immune response, and may improve circulation to the nasal tissue to help it repair itself after infection. Vitamin E can be taken as a supplement, but it is also found in sunflower seeds, almonds, peanuts, pumpkin, red bell peppers, mangoes, avocados, asparagus, beet greens, spinach and collard greens.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is well-known for being a top immune-boosting vitamin. It helps prevent infection and acts as a powerful antioxidant that limits free radical damage associated with several illnesses. It can be taken as a supplement, and it is also found in citrus fruit, chili peppers, guavas, yellow peppers, thyme, parsley, kale, kiwi, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, persimmons, papayas and strawberries.
Eating a diet rich in these important vitamins, or adding them in supplement form, can benefit your whole body and help reduce your sinus symptoms. Ensuring that you are getting the daily recommended intake of vitamins, minerals, and nutrients helps you maintain a healthy, fully functioning immune system, reduce respiratory infection, and promotes health and wellness.
What Are The Top 4 Supplements for Sinus Relief?
There are many supplements that can be effective for allergies and sinus relief. Here are four of our favorites – and many more products from our Sinus Survival program are also available. Remember to talk with a health care professional about your symptoms before starting new supplements.
1. SinuThyme
SinuThyme contains a combination of ingredients that help to support sinus health by decreasing mucus buildup and boosting the immune response to respiratory issues. SinuThyme contains these key ingredients:
- Thyme – Helps to reduce inflammation, loosens phlegm, and contains antiseptic, antibacterial and antifungal properties.
- N-Acetyl Cysteine – Helps in breaking down mucus viscosity for easier drainage, reducing bacterial and fungal growth.
- Andrographis and Siberian Ginseng – Immune-enhancing agents that support the body’s natural defense mechanisms and reduce the severity, duration, and symptoms of the common cold.
- Turmeric and Bromelain – Aid in reducing inflammation that contributes to nasal pain and pressure.
- Berberine Sulfate – Similar to components found in goldenseal, known for having natural antibiotic properties.
- Licorice Root – Soothes respiratory inflammation.
This blend of nutrients and herbal ingredients helps to promote sinus and respiratory health. When immediate support is needed, SinuThyme can effectively address uncomfortable allergy and sinus symptoms.
2. Pro Biotic
Pro Biotic is a comprehensive probiotic formula designed to help in maintaining healthy gut flora. It contains Saccharomyces boulardii, a proven potentiator for good bacteria that removes pathogens from the gut and has been shown to help restore microflora balance. This action enables a more effective probiotic presence, encouraging a healthy environment for vitamin uptake and immune support. Taking a probiotic formula daily is recommended for ongoing immune and sinus health.
3. Allercide
The combination of vitamins, herbs and enzymes in Allercide helps by building up your natural defenses. Vitamin C, quercetin, stinging nettles, bromelain and N-acetyl cysteine help boost the body’s functions and immunity. N-acetyl cysteine works in the same way as it does in the SinuThyme supplements, and the other four ingredients also have beneficial qualities:
- Vitamin C and stinging nettles – Dry up nasal passages, support the immune system, and support the histamine-producing responses.
- Quercetin – Inhibits histamine release.
- Bromelain – A pineapple enzyme that assists the body in times of stress.
Allercide is an excellent and effective option that can help to reduce nasal symptoms. It is a great formula to begin taking leading up to and throughout allergy season.
4. Congest-Eeze
Congest-Eeze offers relief for those who suffer from several respiratory problems, including congestion, colds, and symptoms associated with asthma. It works to support the lungs and provide relief from sinus symptoms. Ingredients include:
- Osha
- Lomatium
- Yerba santa leaf
- Garlic
- Mullein thyme
- Licorice
- Oregon grape root
- Echinacea
- Ginger
- Oregano
- Wild cherry
These ingredients have powerful healing properties for the respiratory system. Congest-Eeze is an excellent option when congestion and lung support is needed most.
Those who suffer from sinus issues may find that adding supplements to their daily regimen can help reduce symptoms and promote overall health and well-being. Even adding just one might help bring relief from stuffiness, pressure, and congestion. Speak with a health care practitioner before starting new supplements to ensure that these products are right for your situation.
