About Ivylix
Ivylix syrup is a herbal remedy containing hydroalcoholic extract of thyme and dry extract of ivy. It is effective in soothing coughs caused by colds, acute bronchitis, and asthma. The syrup helps alleviate cold symptoms and bronchitis, acting as an expectorant to reduce respiratory tract inflammation and improve sore throats. The antibacterial and antiviral properties of thyme and ivy extracts make Ivylix beneficial in eliminating respiratory infections.
The active phenolic compounds in thyme, such as thymol and carvacrol, provide antispasmodic, antitussive, and expectorant effects by inhibiting calcium channels, thus reducing respiratory spasms. Additionally, rosmarinic acid in thyme helps alleviate inflammation symptoms in various colds and bronchitis by inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis. The saponins and flavonoids in thyme demonstrate proven expectorant effects and antimicrobial properties.
Ivy leaves contain triterpenoid saponins, which exhibit expectorant, mucolytic, spasmolytic, bronchodilator, and antibacterial effects. These saponins, particularly hederacoside C and alpha-hederin, indirectly inhibit the uptake of β2 receptors, prolonging their response and promoting surfactant secretion in airways, aiding in mucolytic and expectorant effects. The antimicrobial properties of ivy saponins have been proven against specific microbial strains, supporting its use in treating bronchitis and pneumonia.
