Symthym™

In the area of Provence (France) an organically grown crop of thyme stands out for its cultivation according to the ethical and sustainable farming standards represented by Fair for Life® certification, which emphasizes social equity and ecology. Once thyme has been harvested and dried, the plants are delivered to Groupe Berkem’s facilities, where they enter a double aqueous extraction and filtration process producing a concentrated powder.

Traditional use

The respiratory tract is regularly subjected to environmental factors and external aggressions, particularly in winter, which can disrupt the immune and respiratory balance. Thyme’s use to support upper respiratory tract health has a long traditional history in many parts of the world. Symthym™ offers a traditional botanical approach to support the body especially during winter seasons.

Scientific literature

Preclinical and clinical data demonstrate some mechanisms of actions relating to antioxydant activity and supporting a healthy imflammatory response, through complex effects believed to be associated with mucociliary clearance in literature.

Proprietary studies

The ability of Symthym™ to support healthy inflammation response was evaluated in an in vitro reconstructed human oral epithelium. It was demonstrated that Symthymt™ reduces the production of pro-inflammatory markers at a certain dose. Its antioxidant capacity was also confirmed in a DPPH assay, which demonstrated dose-dependent free radical neutralisation. This suggests that Symthym™ has the capacity to scavenge free radicals and reduce oxidative stress.
