Respiratory Complex
L.A. Naturals
Overview
The effectiveness of L.A. Naturals Respiratory Complex relies heavily on the traditional uses of its herbal ingredients, as specific clinical research on this proprietary blend is absent. While some ingredients like Licorice and Ginger have scientific backing for certain effects (e.g., anti-inflammatory, soothing), the lack of disclosed dosages within the proprietary blend makes it impossible to ascertain if these ingredients are present at clinically effective levels. Other ingredients like Osha, Mullein, Wild Cherry, Yerba Santa, Pleurisy Root, and Lomatium have limited to no high-quality clinical evidence to support their efficacy for respiratory conditions in humans.
