MANILA, Philippines, 25 July 2025 – Our lungs work around the clock to keep us alive, yet lung health remains one of the most neglected aspects of overall wellness. Breathing difficulties are often dismissed as a natural part of aging, but in reality, lung health is affected by far more than just getting older. Daily exposure to air pollution, secondhand smoke, haze, prolonged air-conditioning, poor nutrition, and even lack of sleep can gradually impair lung function, often without obvious symptoms. This silent damage is taking a toll. In 2024, pneumonia ranked as the fourth leading cause of death in the Philippines, claiming 19,842 lives, according to the Philippine Statistics Authority. The year prior saw a 27% surge in cases, with a concerning 11% increase among children under five—evidence that no age group is spared.
Behind these numbers are often subtle symptoms or signals from the body that are easily missed or ignored until it's too late, such as persistent cough, shortness of breath, or chronic chest discomfort. Recognizing these signs early is key, because once they escalate, the consequences can be severe.
In observance of National Lung Month this August, LAC Philippines encourages every Filipino to take charge of their respiratory health through preventive and proactive self-care. As part of this commitment, LAC introduces two advanced supplements designed to nourish, protect, and strengthen the lungs and immune system: LAC Activated® Lung Protect™ and LAC TriAction C1000.
Formulated with a unique blend of 8 Traditional Chinese Medicinal herbs, LAC Activated® Lung Protect™ helps shield your lungs from common respiratory threats while promoting smoother breathing. With ingredients like Radix rehmanniae to nourish and cool the lungs, Radix ophiopogonis to reduce inflammation, and Herba menthae to expel pathogens, this daily supplement is ideal for those constantly exposed to pollution, heat, construction dust, or air-conditioned environments. Available in vegetarian capsule (vegicap) form, it is safe for individuals aged 9 and older. Recommended dosage: 3 vegicaps daily for those aged 9-18, and 3 vegicaps twice daily for adults 18 and above.
Meanwhile, LAC TriAction C1000 delivers 1,000mg of vitamin C in a unique triple-action, buffered, timed-release formula, ensuring it's gentle on the stomach and provides sustained immune support throughout the day. Enriched with Alpha Lipoic Acid to help regenerate vitamin C levels in the body, it also includes Grape Seed Extract, L-Glutathione, and Citrus Bioflavonoids for powerful, synergistic antioxidant protection. This potent combination helps combat bacteria, speed up recovery, and support healthy skin, gums, and blood vessels. Safe for adults 18 and older, it can be taken once daily.
LAC Activated® Lung Protect™ and LAC TriAction C1000 deliver holistic support for better breathing, stronger immunity, and long-term wellness.
