Nicocure Ingredients

The Nicocure Stop Smoking Pill provides a revolutionary and natural way to assist smokers to quit smoking, without the intake of nicotine.

Suggested Use: Take 2 capsules, 2 times daily or as needed. Do not exceed 6 capsules per day.

Ingredients Include:

Lobelia Extract:
Lobelia (Lobelia inflata), also known as Indian tobacco, contains a substance (lobeline) that has some effects on the nervous system that are similar to the effects of nicotine, and preliminary reports suggested that pure lobeline or lobelia herb could be used to support smoking cessation. 1 2 3

Licorice Root Extract:
Licorice has a long and highly varied record of uses. It was and remains one of the most important herbs in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Among its most consistent and important uses are as a demulcent (soothing, coating agent) in the digestive and urinary tracts, to help with coughs, to soothe sore throats, and as a flavoring.

Passion Flower:
Passion flower was used to treat nervous restlessness and gastrointestinal spasms. In short, the effects of passion flower were believed to be primarily on the nervous system, particularly for anxiety due to mental worry and overwork. 1 The effectiveness of passion flower as a treatment for anxiety has been confirmed in a double-blind study. In that study, 45 drops per day of an extract of passion flower taken for four weeks was as effective as 30 mg per day of oxazepam (Serax®), a medication used for anxiety. 2

Coral Calcium:
Many medical doctors recommend calcium carbonate because it requires the fewest pills to reach a given level of calcium and it is readily available and inexpensive. For people concerned about cost and only willing to swallow two to three calcium pills per day, calcium carbonate is a sensible choice.

Ginger Extract:
Traditional Chinese Medicine has recommended ginger for over 2,500 years. It is used for abdominal bloating, coughing, vomiting, diarrhea, and rheumatism.

Linden Flowers:
The major active constituents in linden are flavonoids, glycosides, and possibly a volatile oil. One study found that a complex mixture of compounds, primarily flavonoids, reduced anxiety in mice. 1

Mullein Root:
Mullein leaves and flowers are classified in traditional herbal literature as expectorants (promotes the discharge of mucus) and demulcents (soothes irritated mucous membranes). Historically, mullein has been used by herbalists as a remedy for the respiratory tract, particularly in cases of irritating coughs with bronchial congestion. 1 Some herbal texts extend the therapeutic use to pneumonia and asthma. 2

Spearmint Leaves:
Spearmint Leaf has been used for culinary and medicinal purposes since the time of the ancient Romans. It has been used as an anti-inflammatory and for the prevention of gum disease, but Spearmint is most often used as a mild digestive aid to combat indigestion and flatulence.

Hawthorne Berries:
The leaves, flowers, and berries of hawthorn contain a variety of bioflavonoids that appear to be primarily responsible for the cardiac actions of the plant. Flavonoids found in hawthorn include oligomeric procyanidins (OPCs), vitexin, vitexin 4’-O-rhamnoside, quercetin, and hyperoside. These compounds are often standardized in leaf and flower extracts, which are widely used in Europe.

Wood Betony:
Native to Europe, wood betony is now planted in many parts of the world with temperate climates. The primary portions of the plant that are used as medicine are the leaves and flowers, though historically the root has also been used. It was considered a calming remedy and was used for headaches as well as some forms of neuralgia, including shingles.1
