Ectoine – naturally effective for sore throats

01. January 2025

The natural active ingredient ectoine in neo-angin protect spray uses nature's survival strategies to effectively relieve sore throats and protect the throat and pharyngeal mucosa. 

A molecule discovered in nature's most extreme habitats

Ectoine was originally identified in microorganisms that survive in particularly inhospitable habitats such as salt lakes or deserts – where heat, dryness and UV radiation create extreme conditions. To protect themselves, these microorganisms produce ectoine – a small protective molecule that keeps their cells stable and prevents them from drying out. neo-angin protect spray capitalises on this unique ability.

Natural protective film for the throat and pharynx

Once applied to the throat and pharynx, ectoine creates a soothing, hydrating protective film over the mucosa. This hydro complex binds water, stabilises the cell membranes to stop the sensitive tissue from drying out and protect it against further irritants. At the same time, it helps to soothe existing irritations and support the mucosa's natural defence mechanisms. This creates a truly pleasant feeling in the throat – especially helpful for dryness, irritation, or the first signs of a scratchy throat.

The advantages at a glance

  • Soothes irritation and dryness the natural way
  • Lubricates and protects the mucosa by forming a fine, stabilising film
  • Strengthens the barrier function of the mucosa against external influences
  • Supports regeneration and natural balance in the throat
  • Suitable for the whole family (from 2 years of age), even with frequent use
