Ivy leaf Extract Syrup

The main components of ivy leaf that give it its health benefits are called saponins. The saponins trigger a response or irritation in the gut mucosa which then leads to stimulation of the mucous glands in the bronchioles which is essentially a reflex reaction.
The saponins in ivy leaf increase secretions in the respiratory tract which helps to thin out mucus in the chest, making it easier to ‘cough up’. Thick and tenacious mucus will stimulate the cough reflex. By thinning out and clearing the congestion, the cough reflex is not stimulated.
