We conducted a thorough investigation to examine how vitamin C, when combined with pleuran (a natural extract from mushrooms), influences asthma control and respiratory health in children with partially controlled perennial asthma. Our study was a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial involving 230 children aged 7 to 17 years, split evenly into an active treatment group and a placebo group.
Over a 24-week period, children in the active group received both pleuran and vitamin C, while the placebo group received vitamin C alone. It was exciting to find that children younger than 12 years who received the combination treatment showed notable improvement in their control of asthma symptoms compared to those on placebo. Additionally, older children in the active group reported fewer respiratory infections, an important benefit for their overall health.
By the end of our 48-week study, we saw a significant improvement in asthma control in a high percentage of children receiving the active treatment. Notably, this combination appeared safe, with no serious side effects reported. Overall, our findings suggest that while vitamin C's isolated effects can't be fully assessed due to its combination with pleuran, the combined treatment offers promising benefits for managing asthma in children.

This product has been immensely helpful for my asthma. The time-release component is excellent. Without it, my rating would be much lower. However, if you struggle to swallow these pills initially, they can become difficult to manage. It took me several choking incidents to learn to get them down quickly.
