Frequently Asked Questions
What is CanPrev Healthy Lungs and what is it used for?
CanPrev Healthy Lungs is a Canadian multi-nutrient capsule formula designed to protect lung tissue from oxidative damage and support maintenance of healthy respiratory function. Each capsule provides N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC, 400 mg) as the central active ingredient, combined with a synergistic antioxidant complex including vitamin C, quercetin, alpha-lipoic acid, grape seed extract, vitamin E, vitamin D3, zinc, and B-vitamins. It is intended for adults exposed to air pollution, smoke, environmental toxins, or those with respiratory concerns related to oxidative stress, and provides 3-capsule daily dosing for therapeutic-level antioxidant support.
What are the key ingredients in CanPrev Healthy Lungs and how do they work?
Per capsule: N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) 400 mg, Vitamin C 166 mg, Quercetin dihydrate 83 mg, DL-Alpha lipoic acid 66 mg, Grape seed extract 50 mg (95% OPC), Vitamin E 50 IU (natural d-alpha-tocopherol), Vitamin B6 16 mg, Zinc 3.3 mg (as zinc citrate), Vitamin B12 266 mcg (as methylcobalamin), Folic acid 200 mcg, Vitamin D3 200 IU. NAC is the formula's cornerstone: it is the direct precursor to L-cysteine, the rate-limiting amino acid for glutathione synthesis -- glutathione is the lung's primary endogenous antioxidant and detoxifying molecule. NAC also acts as a mucolytic agent by breaking the disulfide bonds that cross-link mucus glycoproteins, reducing mucus viscosity and aiding clearance. The remaining antioxidants (vitamin C, quercetin, alpha-lipoic acid, grape seed OPCs, vitamin E) provide multi-phase protection across aqueous and lipid compartments of lung tissue. Methylcobalamin (active B12) and zinc support immune and tissue repair functions.
Who should use CanPrev Healthy Lungs and how should it be taken?
Healthy Lungs is designed for adults with respiratory health concerns related to oxidative stress, including: people in urban environments with high air pollution or particulate matter exposure; current or former smokers (cigarette smoke is one of the highest sources of oxidative stress to lung tissue, rapidly depleting glutathione); individuals with occupational exposure to dust, chemicals, or industrial fumes; adults with chronic respiratory conditions who seek antioxidant nutritional support (alongside, not replacing, medical treatment); and people recovering from respiratory illness who want to support lung tissue recovery. Recommended dose: 1 capsule three times daily, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner. Capsules are vegetarian (vegan capsule shell). Consult a physician if pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medications, or if you have a chronic medical condition. NAC may interact with nitroglycerin and certain blood pressure medications.
What distinguishes CanPrev Healthy Lungs from other respiratory support supplements?
Most respiratory supplements on the market are built around single ingredients -- typically vitamin C, echinacea, or herbal expectorants. CanPrev Healthy Lungs is differentiated by its NAC-centered, multi-antioxidant architecture addressing oxidative stress through multiple simultaneous pathways. NAC is the only supplement ingredient that directly replenishes glutathione -- the primary antioxidant specific to lung tissue -- by supplying cysteine on-demand. Its mucolytic mechanism (breaking mucus disulfide bonds) is a pharmaceutical-grade action absent from vitamin or herbal formulas. The multi-antioxidant combination (vitamin C, quercetin, alpha-lipoic acid, OPCs, vitamin E) targets both water-soluble and fat-soluble oxidative damage simultaneously -- no single antioxidant covers both phases. The inclusion of methylcobalamin (active B12, not cyanocobalamin) and zinc citrate (high-bioavailability organic zinc) reflects CanPrev's practitioner-formulated approach to using the most bioavailable nutrient forms. The fully vegetarian capsule with minimal excipients (only vegetable-grade magnesium stearate, 1%) confirms the clean-label formulation. CanPrev is a Canadian brand with formulas developed in collaboration with licensed naturopathic and medical practitioners.
What is CanPrev and are its supplements Health Canada approved?
CanPrev is a Canadian natural health supplement brand founded in 2005 by Tanya Salituro -- the name stands for Canadian + Preventive. All products are Health Canada licensed and manufactured at site-licensed, government-approved Canadian facilities, with each batch independently laboratory tested for potency, purity, and safety before release. The brand offers 445+ formulations across therapeutic categories including magnesium, amino acids, vitamin D, hormonal support, and women's health, distributed in 3,400+ Canadian retail locations and through naturopathic practitioners. In February 2025, CanPrev was acquired by Apotex, further expanding its distribution infrastructure.
How is CanPrev different from other Canadian supplement brands?
CanPrev's distinguishing feature is practitioner co-formulation: roughly 25% of the company team are licensed health practitioners -- naturopathic doctors, nutritionists, and herbalists -- meaning products are formulated with clinical input from the start, not adapted for retail after development. The brand consistently selects more bioavailable nutrient forms: methylcobalamin over cyanocobalamin for B12, magnesium bisglycinate over magnesium oxide, active folate (5-MTHF) over folic acid -- at therapeutic doses, and formulates without fillers or binders. This distinguishes CanPrev from mainstream supplement brands that use lower-cost, less-absorbed nutrient forms to reduce per-unit manufacturing costs.
