A little mucus is a good thing — it traps dust and germs. The trouble starts when it gets thick and sticky. The simplest fix is also the cheapest: drink enough. BreathiZen is the daily extra.
Mucus is mostly water, so staying hydrated helps keep it thin and easy to clear. The National Academies suggest total daily water of about 3.7 litres for men and 2.7 litres for women, from drinks and food combined. BreathiZen's bromelain is carried to support the body's handling of thick mucus alongside good hydration.
Why hydration matters before BreathiZen does
Mucus is mostly water. When you are short on fluids it can become thicker and harder to clear, which is one reason mornings and dry winter air feel worse.
How much water adults need alongside BreathiZen
The National Academies suggest roughly 3.7 litres a day for men and 2.7 litres for women in total — about a fifth of which usually comes from food. Needs rise in heat, with exercise and when you are unwell.
