COLDAMARIS® plus Nasal Spray – With Carragelose® to support relief from viral colds and to moisturize the nasal mucosa

Further product information

COLDAMARIS® plus is a nasal spray for the supportive treatment of viral common colds and for the preventive and continuous moistening of the nasal mucosa.

The special formulation contains Carragelose® (iota-carrageenan) and kappa-carrageenan. These ingredients, derived from red algae, form a moisturising protective film on the nasal mucosa.

The protective film acts as a physical barrier and supports the natural protective and filtering function of the nose. At the same time, the nasal mucosa is moisturised and protected from drying out.

COLDAMARIS® plus contains no preservatives. An integrated sterile filter ensures the sterility of the solution even with repeated use.

The nasal spray is suitable for adults and children from one year of age, as well as for pregnant and breastfeeding women.

COLDAMARIS® plus for common colds

Common colds are predominantly caused by viruses.

The pathogens often enter the body through the mucous membranes of the upper respiratory tract.

The nasal mucosa plays an important protective role. It moistens the inhaled air and helps to trap foreign substances and pathogens.

COLDAMARIS® plus forms a protective film on the nasal mucosa and can thus support the natural barrier function.

Carragelose® – protective film from red algae

Carragelose® is a specially prepared iota-carrageenan derived from red algae.

Carrageenans are long-chain polysaccharides with water-binding and film-forming properties.

On the nasal mucosa, Carragelose® forms a moisturising film.

This can impair the attachment and spread of certain cold viruses on the mucosa through a physical mechanism.

It is applied locally to the nasal mucosa.

Iota-carrageenan and kappa-carrageenan – two complementary ingredients

COLDAMARIS® plus combines two carrageenan compounds:

• Iota-carrageenan (Carragelose®): Forms a moisturising protective film on the nasal mucosa.

• Kappa-carrageenan: Supports the film-forming and water-binding properties of the formulation.

Both ingredients are derived from red algae.

Moisturising for dry nasal mucosa

Dry indoor air, heated air, air conditioning or other external influences can dry out the nasal mucosa.

A dry nasal mucosa can cause burning, crusting or an unpleasant feeling of tightness.

COLDAMARIS® plus supports the moisturising and care of the nasal mucosa.

The moisturising protective film can help to protect the mucosa from further drying out.

Support at the first signs of a cold

COLDAMARIS® plus can be used from the first signs of a cold.

It should be used as early as possible after the onset of symptoms.

Clinical studies with carrageenan-containing nasal sprays show evidence of a possible reduction in the duration of colds and certain symptoms. However, the results are not consistent in all studies.

The nasal spray does not replace medically necessary treatment for severe infections.

Preservative-free with sterile filter

COLDAMARIS® plus contains no preservatives.

The special spray system features a sterile filter that supports hygienic use even with repeated application.

The solution is clear, colourless and odourless.
