A Gentle Formula with Powerful Benefits

Marshmallow root extract has been used for centuries to soothe irritated mucous membranes, its naturally occurring mucilage forms a protective coating over the throat lining, easing dryness and calming the persistent tickling that makes long days of speaking so uncomfortable.

Nigella sativa seed oil brings a complementary layer of natural anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, supporting the throat's natural defences while the marshmallow extract works to hydrate and restore comfort. Together, these two ingredients create a formula that is genuinely gentle enough for daily use and specific enough to make a real difference.

The Science Behind It

Marshmallow root extract works through its mucilage content, a naturally occurring polysaccharide that, when dissolved in saliva, forms a gel-like film over the throat lining. This film physically soothes irritation and dryness, providing a barrier that protects sensitive tissue from further discomfort while the body recovers.

Nigella sativa seed oil contributes thymoquinone, an active compound with documented antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activity across multiple peer-reviewed studies. Allowing the lozenge to dissolve slowly in the mouth maximises the contact time of both ingredients with the throat tissue, ensuring the full benefit of the formula is delivered where it is needed.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

What is Nigella sativa and why is it in a throat lozenge? 

Nigella sativa, also known as black seed, is a flowering plant with a long history in traditional medicine across the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia. Its seed oil contains thymoquinone, an active compound studied for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties. In these lozenges, it contributes natural protective and soothing action on throat tissue, working alongside marshmallow extract to deliver both comfort and a degree of natural antimicrobial support.

What is marshmallow extract and how does it work?  

Marshmallow root extract comes from the Althaea officinalis plant and has been used for centuries to soothe irritated mucous membranes. It contains mucilage, a naturally occurring substance that forms a protective, gel-like coating over the throat lining when it dissolves. This coating physically soothes dryness and irritation, providing a comforting barrier that helps the throat recover from voice strain, environmental dryness, and everyday demands.

What ingredients are in each lozenge?

Each lozenge contains:
Nigella Sativa Seed Oil 48.25mg, Marshmallow Extract 9.75mg.

The formula is free from artificial colours, harsh preservatives, gluten, and GMOs.

How is this different from the other Phenome lozenges?

The Throat Relief Lozenge is the everyday comfort lozenge in the Phenome range designed for daily use, voice strain, environmental dryness, and general throat discomfort. It is the gentlest of the three and the most suitable for regular, ongoing use. The Propolis Lozenge is formulated for daily immune defence and natural antibacterial protection. The Pelargonium Lozenge is designed specifically for the acute respiratory demands of cold and flu season. The three products are complementary and can be used alongside one another.

Is this a medicine or a food supplement?

This is a food supplement, not a medicine. It is not intended to treat, cure, diagnose, or prevent any disease or medical condition. It is formulated to support throat comfort and ease the physical demands of daily voice use as part of a healthy lifestyle. If you are experiencing severe or persistent symptoms, please consult your GP.

How to take the lozenges and get the most from them.

How do I take the lozenges?

Dissolve one lozenge slowly in the mouth as needed, up to five lozenges per day. Do not chew, allowing the lozenge to melt fully is important because the marshmallow extract works by forming a protective mucilage coating over the throat lining as it dissolves. Chewing the lozenge bypasses this mechanism and reduces the soothing benefit significantly.

Can I take these every day?

Yes. This formula is designed to be gentle enough for regular daily use, making it well suited to teachers, speakers, singers, frequent travellers, and anyone whose throat is regularly under demand. There is no defined course length take them as needed as part of your daily routine.

When is the best time to take these?

These lozenges are flexible enough to take at any point in the day. Many people find them most useful before or during periods of extended speaking, at the first sign of throat dryness or irritation, during travel in air-conditioned environments, or in the evening after a demanding day. Because they are gentle enough for daily use, some people take one in the morning as a preventive measure during periods of high vocal demand such as term time or conference season.

Can I take these at the same time as the other Phenome lozenges? 

Yes. The three lozenges in the Phenome range contain different active ingredients targeting different needs and are designed to be used alongside one another. Space them out through the day rather than taking multiple lozenges at the same time.

Can I take more than five lozenges a day?

We recommend following the directions for use and not exceeding five lozenges per day unless advised otherwise by a healthcare professional. Unlike the Propolis Lozenge which contains vitamin C and zinc, this formula has no micronutrient upper limit concerns, the five per day limit is a general guideline for appropriate use rather than a safety ceiling.

Who can take the lozenges and any relevant precautions.

Are these suitable for children?

These lozenges are not suitable for children under 5 years old. For children aged 5 and above, we recommend consulting a healthcare professional before use.

Can I take these if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?

We recommend consulting your healthcare professional before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Can I take these alongside other supplements or medications?

These lozenges are formulated with naturally occurring botanical compounds. However, if you are taking prescribed medication or have an existing health condition, we recommend consulting your GP or healthcare professional before use.

Are these suitable for vegetarians and vegans?

Yes. The Throat Relief Lozenge contains no animal-derived ingredients and is suitable for both vegetarians and vegans. Please review the full ingredient list on the packaging to confirm this, as formulations can be updated.

Do these contain any allergens? 

This product is free from artificial colours, harsh preservatives, gluten, and GMOs. It does not contain bee products, dairy, soy, or nuts. Please review the full ingredient list on the packaging if you have specific allergen concerns.

What is in the formula and why it is formulated the way it is.

Why does the formula only contain two active ingredients?

This is a deliberate formulation choice. The Throat Relief Lozenge is designed to be the simplest, cleanest, and most gentle product in the Phenome lozenge range specifically suited to daily use without the complexity of a multi-ingredient immune support formula. Nigella sativa and marshmallow extract each bring distinct and complementary mechanisms: one protective and antimicrobial, one physically soothing and hydrating. Together they address the primary causes of everyday throat discomfort without unnecessary additions.

Why is it important not to chew the lozenge?

The soothing action of marshmallow extract depends on its mucilage content dissolving slowly in saliva and forming a gel-like coating over the throat lining. This coating is the primary delivery mechanism for the comfort and hydration the lozenge provides. Chewing disperses the lozenge too quickly in the mouth, preventing the mucilage from reaching and coating the throat properly. Allowing it to dissolve slowly, ideally over several minutes, maximises the therapeutic contact time and the resulting benefit.

Is the Nigella sativa seed oil cold-pressed or refined?  

The Nigella sativa seed oil used in this formula is processed to ensure consistent quality and the preservation of its active compound thymoquinone. For the most current details on the extraction and processing method, please contact our support team at support@phenomelongevity.com.
