There are some evidence that certain nutritional supplements can help ease the symptoms of COPD. However, it’s important to take the claims of any supplement with a grain of salt.
Just because something is labeled herbal or natural doesn’t mean it’s good for you. Poison ivy is natural, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea to go out and roll around in it.
Here we look at a handful of supplements for which there are some evidence of their effectiveness.
Creatinine monohydrate
This is an energy source for muscles. Its usefulness in treating copd comes from its ability to improve muscle strength and endurance. If you have a low exercise capacity for exercise, creatinine monohydrate may help you feel stronger, but it won’t help you exercise longer.
Magnesium
Magnesium is a key part of normal lung function, and several commonly prescribed COPD medications can lead to magnesium deficiency. Symptoms of magnesium deficiency include loss of appetite, muscle cramps and spasms, tingling or numbness, and confusion or disorientation.
Glutathione
This is a tiny antioxidant molecule that lives inside every cell in your body. Most people produce enough of this molecule by consuming the foods that create all kinds of antioxidants-fresh fruits and vegetables. But some people, especially those whose immune systems are not functioning at full power, have a deficiency of glutathione.
Traditional medicine identifies several herbs that ease congestion and coughing, but few of them have been subjected to clinical trials. Among those that have, the most impressive is ivy leaf extract, which in one study was as effective in treating chronic bronchitis as the drug ambroxol, which dissolves mucus.
Mullein is an expectorant that induces mucus producing coughs that help clear the airways. It is also is believed to soothe mucus membranes in the nose, throat and lungs. It is commonly used in traditional medicine to treat chest colds and coughs. Other herbal cough and congestion remedies include lobelia, wild cherry bark and eucalyptus. Studies on animals have indicated that these preparations can increase mucus discharge, but no human studies have been done.
