BASIC FACTS

Around 40 percent of all people suffer from chronic snoring. The ailment, which is often smiled at, is, unfortunately, not at all funny for those affected by it: Doctors found that «snorers» more frequently suffer heart attacks and strokes and have a high blood pressure. Early treatment of snoring is also paramount since both the risk of falling ill and the severity of the illness increase with the duration of the condition. Furthermore, disturbed sleep, fatigue during the day and irritability may make snoring the reason for massive relationship problems.

Much more significant, however, are the reasons that can be at the bottom of snoring. Only rarely are permanent anatomic malformations (such as a deformed palate, an oversized tongue, or a goiter) to blame, which might then require surgery. More frequently, snoring is the result of inflammations of the throat which cause the mucous membrane to swell and result in an increased production of secretion. If such inflammations are not merely sporadic (for example in the course of an influenzal infection) but rather the snoring is chronic, then this inflammation will also lead to inflammatory secondary diseases in other regions of the body, for example in the blood vessels of the heart. This is (along with the nightly lack of oxygen) the reason for the increased risk of suffering a heart attack.

Snorin^® contains a natural mix of herbs and enzymes, which helps to reduce the swelling in the area of the throat. Studies proved that in more than 80 percent of the persons concerned snoring clearly showed a change for the better.

EFFECTS

Snoring occurs when the muscle tone in the palate muscles drops and reflexes are low in deep sleep. If, in addition, the entrance to the throat is narrowed (due to congenital deformations, outside pressure, inflammatory swelling of the mucous membrane, secretion) it may be closed by the palate and the tongue to an extent where it only permits a clearly audible rattling and/or whistling respiration. Eventually, the oxygen supply in the brain drops and acidaemia increases as a consequence of the build-up of carbon dioxide. This alarms the brain: stronger breathing, a lighter sleep, and possibly waking up may be the consequence. A (relative) oxygen and sleep deficiency will linger into the following day. Studies have shown that, for example, people who snore are more likely to be involved in car accidents. Adiposity and drinking alcohol at night may also lead to snoring.

With growing age, the muscle tone generally decreases and the transportation of secretion in the airways no longer functions as smoothly as before. The latter is also a consequence of chronic environmental stress on the airways caused by cigarette smoke, among others. However, if snoring occurs in younger people, this should be a reason to check for treatable causes such as chronically inflamed tonsils or focal teeth infections.

Unfortunately, a simple «cause» can often not be established, and even less so with growing age. And going for a long-term treatment of the inflammation of the mucous membrane with «hard» drugs «at random» does not make sense due to the side effects and because it would damage the barrier function of the mucous membrane in the long run.

In the US, a randomized trial was carried out with 220 patients who were chronic snorers. They were administered the purely herbal mix Snorin^® for a period of two years. This product is made up of four digestive enzymes (lipase, amylase, protease and cellulase) and various herbs. It prevents increased secretion and reduces the swelling of tissue in the area of the nose and the throat.

The research showed that in more than 86 percent of the patients the snoring had been reduced by at least 50 percent, or even completely stopped. In addition, the patients felt more vital, better rested and less susceptible to stress due to better sleep. Their partnerships also improved because both the test persons and their respective partners were clearly more even-tempered.

INDICATIONS

Chronic snoring that is not due to anatomic causes after other causes (extreme overweight, alcoholism, chronic tonsillitis or sinusitis) have been excluded.

Additional constituents: Dicalcium phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, SiO₂

DOSAGE

In normal cases take 1 tablet daily with plenty of fluid immediately before going to bed. People suffering from sleep apnoea should consult their doctor before use.

Snorin^® should be taken shortly before going to bed and on an empty stomach, i.e., at least two hours after the last meal.

1.   Avoid eating dairy products such as milk, cheese, butter and the like at least four hours before going to bed, as these lead to an increased production of mucus in the respiratory tract.

2.   Increase the dosage by 1/2 to 1 tablet, depending on the effectiveness, in the event of allergies, or if you smoke or drink alcohol.

3.   Change your lifestyle: Lose weight, stop smoking, drink less alcohol. This will not only reduce your snoring but improve your overall well-being in general!

Since snoring, similar to diabetes or high blood pressure, can be controlled but not cured, Snorin^® in its effective maintenance dosage must be taken regularly. After 5 to 6 months without snoring, you may try to either reduce the dosage or take the same dosage only every other day.

SIDE EFFECTS / CONTRAINDICATIONS

There are not serious side effects, incompatibility reactions or allergic reactions. Snorin^® can also be combined with other medication without problems since there are no interactions. Taken in higher doses, it may cause dryness in the area of the nose and the throat, which just shows that the product is effective. In this case, an air humidifying device can help.

INSTRUCTIONS

Generally a specialist should be consulted before taking food supplements. This is especially true in cases of chronic disease and regular intake of medication. If you experience symptoms while taking Snorin^® you should consult a doctor and inform the doctor of the intake.
