Zestt Wellness EXhale 100ml

This naturally-derived formula helps support your immune system and ensures good lung health to help you through challenging times.

Anthocyanins are bioactives that are antioxidants and may support lung health. In our patent-pending EXhale formula, we combine anthocyanins with a plant-derived flavonoid - quercetin as well as chelated zinc to support your immune system response.

Also includes high-quality New Zealand Manuka Honey.

Each dose in this 10 dose bottle contains the following bioactives:

- Anthocyanins 7,500mg
- Quercetin 500mg
- Chelated zinc 15mg
- UMF 20 Manuka honey 500mg Your Health Journey Starts With Good Lung Health

Good lung health allows us to breathe freely, perform optimally and recover quickly should we become ill.

The most important function of our lungs is to take oxygen from the environment and transfer it to the blood stream – we do this by taking 6 million breaths per year!

We have two lungs, the left is slightly smaller than the right. When we breathe, our diaphragm, which sits beneath the lungs, does the muscular work. As the diaphragm contracts, it moves down, leaving space for the lungs to expand.

When we breathe, air goes from our nose and mouth, down the trachea (windpipe) where it splits into two branches, (mainstem bronchi), one of which leads to the left lung, one to the right.

Those two bronchi then split further, into multiple smaller and smaller bronchi, like branches on a tree. This ever-decreasing pipework ends with the alveoli which is where the important gas exchange occurs – oxygen goes into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide comes out of the blood and is exhaled. What Happens If Our Lungs Are Damaged?

If our lungs are suffering from damage, inflammation or infection, our lung tissue may be stiff and scarred, and airways filled with mucus. This makes it difficult for the lungs to expand and contract, meaning breathing is harder and the oxygen we take in can be less.

Fortunately, our lungs are the first out of any of our body’s organs to receive the benefits of consumed and absorbed bioactives (after our liver). This means that consumption of powerful bioactives will result in benefits to the lungs early.

EXhale® formulation

In EXhale®, we have formulated a combination of BerriQi®, quercetin, zinc and Mānuka honey to enhance boost immunity and improve lung health. BerriQi®

BerriQi® is an immune-enhancing liquid supplement derived from boysenberry and apple concentrates and rich in anthocyanins, which are plant compounds commonly produced in purple fruits.

The anthocyanins in our formula are extracted in such a way as to maximise their bioactivity and bioavailability which are often lost in dried anthocyanin formulations (pills/capsules).

Zestt Wellness' strategic partner, Anagenix worked with New Zealand Government Research organisation, Plant & Food Research, to develop BerriQi, the results of which are published in an internationally, science reviewed papers eg Boysenberries and exhale.

Quercetin

Quercetin is a plant polyphenol with renowned immune-boosting properties. Quercetin also acts as a zinc ionophore, transporting zinc in and out of cells. The quercetin we use in our EXhale® formula is extracted from Sophora Japonica.

Zinc

Zinc deficiency is common in many people. Zinc supplementation is complementary to quercetin bioavailability, because zinc helps quercetin to cross cell membranes, and supports immune function.

We use chelated zinc in EXhale®, this means the zinc is attached to a compound which is water soluble which helps absorption in the body.

Mānuka honey

We use the finest New Zealand Pouatu Mānuka UMF 20 honey in our EXhale® formulation, which acts as a carrier for our bioactives.

Our patent-pending EXhale® formulation featuring BerriQi®, quercetin, zinc and honey improves natural immunity and lung health.

Co-founder, Darcy Schack, suffers from an autoimmune disease known as sarcoidosis. Sarcoidosis is an inflammatory disease that affects multiple organs in the body, but mostly the lungs and lymph glands.

Darcy takes immunosuppressants and as such is keen to develop products which enhance his, and others', health and natural immune system. Darcy has a background in physics and engineering and extensive food industry experience.

Darcy worked with co-founder, Anna Campbell (PhD, plant biotechnology), to combine their scientific knowledge and develop a natural product to support immunity and improve lung health. They are developing several other plant-based, scientifically pro
