Ricola, sugar-free lemon flavoured candy, is a product made from 13 different aromatic plants or herbs extracted from nature. Its consumption helps to soothe the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract and gives a feeling of freshness.
Ricola sugar-free candies are a product specially formulated to have a soothing effect that helps soothe throat irritation. Because each candy is made with natural ingredients, their properties are easily absorbed by the body. The benefits they bring to your throat are felt instantly and last for a long time.
The vitamin C in this product serves two purposes. The first of these has to do with the immune system response. It boosts the body's natural defences and improves their effectiveness against external pathogens. It also protects cells so that they can function better and contributes to the body's balance and well-being.
Eucalyptus has expectorant and antibiotic properties. The expectorant effect activates the mechanism for expelling mucus accumulated in the bronchial tubes. This makes breathing easier. The antimicrobial properties help to eliminate the micro-organisms that cause infections.
Menthol has properties very similar to those of eucalyptus. However, this active ingredient also helps to relax the tissues. This is an advantage for gradually minimising coughing. The other ingredients enhance the action of the above-mentioned ingredients and increase their effectiveness in clearing the airways. In addition to soothing the throat and contributing to a better functioning of the respiratory system, these candies provide a pleasant sensation of freshness for many minutes and combat bad breath.
It is indicated to clear and soothe the throat and to relieve discomfort caused by dryness or a cold.
For the properties of this candy to be most effective, it should not be chewed. It is recommended that it be placed in the mouth until it dissolves completely in the saliva. It is possible to consume several a day, although excessive ingestion may cause stomach upset or a laxative effect. It should be stored in a cool, dry place to keep its components in good condition.
Do not take if allergic to any of the ingredients listed.
