Buona respiro

Syrup for Dry and Productive Cough

Syrup for dry and productive cough with honey and dry extracts of blackcurrant, grindelia, and ivy.

A pleasant-tasting syrup, suitable for children from 1 year of age and older, that supports the well-being of the respiratory system.

Its composition, based on plant extracts (Ivy, Grindelia, Blackcurrant) and honey, makes it ideal for relieving both dry and productive cough — a symptom often associated with colds, viral infections, and pharyngitis.

Action:

  • In dry cough: Forms a protective film on the throat, moisturizing and soothing the mucosa, reducing irritation and consequently the intensity of coughing.
  • In productive cough: Helps eliminate mucus, offering emollient and fluidifying action.

Thanks to the soothing effect of honey and natural components such as resins, polysaccharides, mucilage, and flavonoids, Buona Respiro supports the normal function of the upper respiratory system.

About Buona Respiro Syrup

For the formulation of Buona Respiro Syrup, we selected standardized and titrated dry plant extracts, whose properties help to soothe both dry and productive cough, and protect the oropharyngeal mucosa.

  • Grindelia (family Asteraceae): Grindelia, a plant mainly growing in America, contains resins with mucoadhesive and protective properties. These resins help form a protective barrier film that calms cough. The upper airways are thus shielded from contact with external irritants.
  • Ivy (family Araliaceae): Ivy leaf extract, thanks to its high content of flavonoids, supports mucus clearance, exerting a fluidifying effect on bronchial secretions.
  • Blackcurrant (family Grossulariaceae): Blackcurrant, which grows in Central and Southern Europe, contains tannins, flavonoids, and procyanidins with antioxidant action (anti-free radical).
  • Honey: Thanks to its sugar content, honey provides mucoadhesive, protective, and emollient action on the oropharyngeal mucosa.

Honey is undoubtedly the most well-known product derived from beekeeping. It is obtained from the nectar collected by forager bees from the flowers of numerous plant species. Worker bees begin transforming the nectar into honey immediately after collection, inside the honey stomach of the forager, by adding enzymes to the sugar solution contained in the nectar. The process continues inside the hive, carried out by “house bees” (young workers less than 21 days old), which repeatedly ingest and regurgitate the honey, with numerous exchanges between different workers. This allows a gradual maturation process, enrichment with enzymes from the bees’ glandular secretions, and a progressive reduction of excess water in the nectar, preventing the risk of honey fermentation.

When fully matured, honey consists mainly of:

  • Carbohydrates: 80–82%
  • Water: 15–18%
  • Enzymes, polyphenols, vitamins, trace minerals: 1–3%

Although the composition of honey may vary depending on the nectar source, it is a highly nutritious, easily assimilable food with multiple beneficial properties.
