Iceland Lichen – properties, uses, and health benefits
It is also known as iceland lichen or shield lichen. It belongs to the family of thalli, which are multicellular organisms composed of a symbiotic fungus and algae. Due to the presence of specialized plant metabolites, it has the ability to create beneficial chemical compounds for humans.
Due to its protective, coating, and mucilaginous properties, Iceland lichen has been a valuable ingredient for centuries and was also used in traditional medicine. Currently, Iceland lichen has gained approval from the European Commission and is widely used in over-the-counter medications, medical products, and dietary supplements. It is recommended for patients with upper respiratory tract conditions. Its key components, which contribute to its health benefits, include polysaccharides, lichen acids, mucilaginous compounds, vitamins (B1, B12), and minerals.
Iceland lichen product group – hydration and protection for the throat, larynx, and vocal cords
The Gofarm Iceland lichen product group is designed for the oral cavity, throat, larynx, and vocal cords to provide hydration and protection, especially in cases of upper respiratory infections, hoarseness, dryness in the throat, or discomfort while swallowing.
The products coat the mucous membranes of the oral cavity, throat, vocal cords, and larynx, protecting them from the irritating effects of external factors such as bacteria, viruses, and pollutants.
The mucilaginous substances found in the extracts of Iceland lichen, linden, and marshmallow coat the sensory nerve endings responsible for triggering throat pain or the coughing reflex.
The products provide intense hydration and relief for irritated mucous membranes. They soothe the feeling of dryness, burning, throat pain while swallowing, and hoarseness – enhancing the patient’s comfort.
The recommended product line includes:
Support for the throat and vocal cords for the whole family
Children often prefer liquid products, while adults tend to choose lozenges. Thanks to the availability of different forms (syrups, lozenges, throat spray), every patient can select a product that is comfortable for them and their family. These products can be used by children from the age of 1 and are available in fruity flavors: lemon and black currant.
Icelandic moss products are recommended as a supportive treatment for inflammation in the oral cavity and throat (of various origins, such as canker sores, pharyngitis). Changes in air temperature, air conditioning, dry air, and cold drinks all make the throat mucosa more susceptible to infections and hoarseness, so it requires additional hydration.
These products are also beneficial for individuals who are particularly prone to vocal cord strain and need extra protection, such as teachers, speakers, and actors. Additionally, people exposed to tobacco smoke, whose vocal cords and larynx are at risk, can experience relief and protection by using products from this line.
