Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Umckalin is a bioactive compound extracted from the roots of Pelargonium sidoides, a plant traditionally used in South African herbal medicine. It exhibits antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties, making it useful in the treatment of respiratory infections like the common cold and bronchitis. Umckalin works by enhancing the immune response and inhibiting the growth of bacterial pathogens, while also reducing inflammation in the respiratory tract. Its effectiveness in reducing symptoms of respiratory illnesses has led to its use in complementary medicine and as an adjunct to conventional treatments.
