Understanding Mucus Relief
While we all need mucus in our bodies to function normally excess mucus or phlegm develops for many reasons including respiratory infections, the flu, allergic reactions and even spicy foods. What is the difference between Mucus and Phlegm?

Both are substances produced by the body, in fact our bodies produce 1 to 1.5 liters of mucus per day. Mucus as it relates to a cold or respiratory infection is produced in the sinus and nasal passages, phlegm a type of mucus is produced by your lungs and respiratory system and builds up when there is an infection in your respiratory system. When you have an allergic reaction or the common cold the mucous membranes become more productive and the mucus becomes thicker and builds up in your lungs and throat causing congestion.

Treatments such as Decongestants, Antihistamines and Nasal Irrigation all work to reduce the buildup of mucus. Kirkland Signature Mucus Relief contains Guaifenesin – an expectorant and is comparable to the National Brand Mucinex which works to reduce excess mucus and congestion. Kirkland Signature Mucus Relief is an immediate release product releasing within 4 hours.
