Immune throat spray
Also known as: throat spray, propolis spray
Immune throat sprays usually contain propolis, zinc, extracts of sage, echinacea, elderberry, thyme or Iceland moss, sometimes vitamin C and honey. Their effect and quality depend on the composition and concentration on the label; they act mainly locally in the throat.
