PM2.5 exposure depletes glutathione, drives oxidative stress, and inflames lung epithelium. This stack supports glutathione synthesis (NAC, glycine), Nrf2 activation (sulforaphane), and antioxidant capacity (vitamin C, quercetin). Indoor air filtration matters more — these are adjuncts.

What it's for

Adults in high-AQI cities (Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore winter). High-traffic exposure professions.

Not for:Diagnosed COPD or asthma — clinical management primary. Not a substitute for masks, air purifiers, or moving outdoors when AQI is hazardous.

Symptoms it can address
