When is the best time to use Salinex ProTect®?
Colds are more easily transmitted in confined space such as an airplane and other vehicles for public transportation. Back-to-school in September and the holiday season are also occasions that favour the transmission of cold viruses as contact with others increases. You can use Salinex ProTect® to protect your upper respiratory tract from the spreading and proliferation of cold viruses at the first sign of a cold.
Does Salinex ProTect® really prevent colds?
No product can prevent colds. However, it has been clinically proven that Salinex ProTect® protects the nasal passages to help reduce the spreading and proliferation of cold viruses. Recently introduced in Canada, it is one of the few products on the market for which clinical trials have demonstrated effectiveness, by creating a protective layer in the nasal cavity. This protection stems from the presence of carrageenan in the composition of Salinex ProTect®. A study conducted in Austria in 2010 showed that a nasal spray containing carrageenan – a derivative of red algae – helps slow down the virus replication process. Salinex ProTect® is the first nasal spray in Canada containing carrageenan. Since September 2013, Canadian consumers are able to benefit from this breakthrough in the fight against seasonal colds.
Will regular use of Salinex® or Salinex ProTect® harm my health, irritate my nasal passages or cause an addiction?
Salinex® Daily Care products are available in seawater and saline solutions. They are gentle, non-irritating and do not cause addiction. Salinex® products are suitable for pregnant women and do not contain any prohibited substances for use in drugs. Salinex ProTect® is a sterile solution that contains a protective ingredient, iota carrageenan, a natural gelling agent derived from red seaweed. Iota carrageenan is one of the first effective substances found to combat the cold virus. An Austrian company carried out studies in 2010 showing that its nasal spray, containing carrageenan, was effective as a treatment against the common cold virus.
