NEW ALLERCAPS FROM ARKOPHARMA- A NATURAL GOODBYE TO HAYFEVER MISERY!

Allercaps is a new, natural alternative to traditional chemical treatments for hayfever.

Containing a unique combination of three plant extracts, Allercaps is suitable for all types of hayfever, providing effective natural symptom relief without any of the side effects associated with chemical treatments.

The Allercaps blend of extracts of Plantain, Eyebright & Bitter Orange work in combination to prevent and relieve the four main symptoms of hayfever (sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion & itching of the eyes, nose and mouth).

Plantain:
Allercaps contains extracts of Plantain leaf, where two active components are produced - irridoïdes (aucuboside) and mucilage. The aucuboside helps to reduce itching and allergies, whilst the mucilage helps the soothing process.

Eyebright (Euphrasia officinals):
The flowering tips of Eyebright is used in Allercaps, due to their potent anti-inflammatory properties, and as the name suggests this plant works to reduce inflammation in the eyes and also the nose.

Bitter Orange Tree (Citrus aurantium):
Allercaps contains extracts from the inner membrane of the bark of the Bitter Orange tree. This inner membrane contains Synephrine which has an anti-inflammatory action at the nasal mucous membrane, preventing and relieving runny noses and nasal congestion.

Allercaps can be used as a preventative measure - i.e. by taking one capsule morning and evening, from two weeks before and right through the pollen season, and can also be used as an intensive treatment, increasing the dosage up to 8 capsules per day, until symptoms are improved, at which point the dosage can be reduced to 2 capsules per day.

With the menopause come metabolic disorders, with osteoporosis and skin ageing in the lead.
