Every breath powers the moments that matter, from keeping up with a busy workday and staying active with loved ones to exercising, sleeping, and simply going about everyday life. Yet despite working around the clock, our lungs are often taken for granted until something goes wrong. Today, global health experts are calling for a shift in perspective, recognizing that lung health is not only about preventing respiratory disease, but also about supporting overall wellness throughout life.
Last year, the World Health Assembly adopted a landmark resolution promoting an integrated approach to lung health, recognizing healthy lungs as essential to physical well-being, resilience, and quality of life. This renewed focus comes as the World Health Organization estimates that 99% of the world's population breathes air that exceeds its recommended air quality guidelines, highlighting how everyday environmental exposures continue to challenge respiratory health regardless of age or location.
Unlike many aspects of our health, our lungs are constantly interacting with the world around us. Whether it's commuting through traffic, spending long hours in air-conditioned offices, exposure to dust and changing weather, or navigating crowded public spaces, our lungs work continuously to filter the air we breathe. While many of these environmental factors are beyond our control, maintaining healthy lungs begins with consistent everyday habits that support long-term respiratory wellness rather than waiting until breathing becomes difficult.
In line with National Lung Month this August, LAC Philippines encourages Filipinos to make lung health an integral part of their daily wellness routine. Alongside healthy habits such as regular physical activity, balanced nutrition, quality sleep, adequate hydration, and avoiding tobacco smoke whenever possible, nutritional support can help maintain healthy respiratory function while supporting the body's natural immune defenses.
To support these everyday wellness habits, LAC Philippines highlights two daily nutritional supplements designed to help maintain respiratory wellness and immune health: LAC Activated® Lung Protect™ and LAC TriAction C1000.
Formulated with a proprietary blend of eight Traditional Chinese Medicinal herbs, LAC Activated® Lung Protect™ provides nutritional support for healthy respiratory function. Its formulation includes ingredients such as Radix rehmanniae, Radix ophiopogonis, and Herba menthae, which have been traditionally used to nourish and support the respiratory system. This makes it ideal for individuals regularly exposed to environmental stressors such as pollution, dust, heat, and prolonged air-conditioned environments. It is suitable for individuals aged nine years and above, with a recommended intake of three vegetarian capsules daily for ages 9 to 18, and three capsules twice daily for adults.
Complementing respiratory wellness is a strong immune system. LAC TriAction C1000 delivers 1,000 mg of Vitamin C in a unique triple-action, buffered, timed-release formula that provides gradual nutrient release while remaining gentle on the stomach. Enhanced with Alpha Lipoic Acid to help regenerate Vitamin C, together with Grape Seed Extract, L-Glutathione, and Citrus Bioflavonoids, it delivers antioxidant support while helping maintain normal immune function. Suitable for adults aged 18 years and above, it is recommended once daily as part of an everyday wellness routine.
This National Lung Month, let every breath serve as a reminder that wellness is built through the choices we make every day. While we may not always be able to control the air we breathe, we can take meaningful steps to support the organs that make every breath possible. Through proactive lifestyle habits and scientifically based nutritional support from LAC Philippines, caring for your lungs can become part of living stronger, healthier, every day of the year.
