What is Engystol®?
Engystol® is a homeopathic medicine that supports the immune system and has antiviral properties, helping to combat flu-like infections and common colds.
It contains natural ingredients like Swallowwort (Vincetoxicum hirundinaria) and Sulfur, known for their anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting effects.
Suitable for the whole family, Engystol® can be used from the onset of cold symptoms to reduce their severity and duration.
Active ingredients (per tablet):
- Sulfur D4 – 37.5 mg
- Sulfur D10 – 37.5 mg
- Vincetoxicum hirundinaria D6 – 75.0 mg
- Vincetoxicum hirundinaria D10 – 75.0 mg
- Vincetoxicum hirundinaria D30 – 75.0 mg
Excipients:
- Magnesium stearate
- Lactose monohydrate (used during the manufacturing process to enhance the action of active ingredients, but not present in significant amounts as an excipient)
This formulation ensures that Engystol® supports the body’s immune response and helps manage symptoms of colds and flu.
How does Engystol® work?
Engystol® works by enhancing the body’s natural defenses in two key ways:
- Immune system stimulation: It promotes the production of antiviral compounds like interferons, which help the body fight off viruses.
- Antiviral action: Engystol® increases the activity of phagocytes (scavenger cells) that clear viruses from the respiratory system, helping to reduce inflammation and shorten the duration of symptoms.
When should you use Engystol®?
Engystol® is most effective when taken at the first signs of a cold or flu.
By using it early, you can potentially prevent the illness from progressing or lessen the severity of symptoms.
This makes it a valuable addition to your health routine, especially during the cold and flu season.

How does Engystol® protect against colds and flu?
Engystol® offers protection by:
- Boosting immune response: It strengthens the body's natural defenses, allowing it to fight infections more effectively.
- Reducing inflammation: By clearing viruses from the respiratory tract, Engystol® helps minimize the inflammatory response associated with colds and flu.
- Shortening illness duration: Many users report faster recovery times, allowing them to get back to daily life more quickly.
What are the key ingredients in Engystol®?
- Swallowwort (Vincetoxicum hirundinaria): This plant-based ingredient has anti-inflammatory properties and supports immune function, making it helpful in treating colds and flu-like symptoms.
- Sulfur: Known for its ability to reduce inflammation, Sulfur targets mucous membranes, particularly in the throat, alleviating discomfort in the early stages of a cold.
How do you take Engystol®?
For adults and children aged 12 and above, the recommended dosage is one tablet three times a day.
The tablet should be dissolved under the tongue, either 15–20 minutes before meals or one hour after eating. For children between the ages of 6 and 12, the dosage is typically reduced to two tablets per day.
In acute cases, adults and children can take one tablet every 15 minutes for up to two hours (a total of 8 tablets) to manage more intense symptoms.
Are there any precautions when taking Engystol®?
Engystol® is generally well-tolerated, but it’s important to consult a healthcare provider before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing other health conditions.
Some people may experience temporary symptom aggravation, which is common with homeopathic treatments.
If this happens, it is recommended to pause treatment and seek medical advice.
Additionally, individuals with lactose intolerance should consult their doctor before using Engystol®, as it contains lactose.
How should Engystol® be stored?
Store Engystol® in its original packaging at a temperature not exceeding 30°C (86°F), in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
Keep it out of reach of children and do not use it after the expiration date.
