About Betterbrand

What is Betterbrand?

Betterbrand is a health and wellness company specializing in natural respiratory support supplements. Founded in 2020 by Dr. Chris, a former U.S. Army Combat Medic and Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD), Betterbrand creates science-backed formulas using clean, natural ingredients. The flagship product line, BetterLungs, includes capsules, a mullein + chlorophyll tincture, mullein gummies, and herbal tea. All products are made in the USA in a GMP-certified facility and third-party tested by Eurofins Scientific. Betterbrand products are available online at trybetterbrand.com as well as in retail stores including CVS, Walgreens, and GNC.

Who founded Betterbrand and why?

Betterbrand was founded by Dr. Chris, a former U.S. Army Combat Medic who went on to earn his Doctor of Pharmacy (PharmD) degree. After years in traditional medicine, he saw its limitations firsthand — particularly for everyday respiratory wellness. When family members, many of whom are smokers, asked for natural ways to support lung health, he dove into the research on botanical ingredients with centuries of traditional use. That research became BetterLungs, the company's first product. Dr. Chris's military and pharmaceutical background drives Betterbrand's emphasis on precision formulation, transparent sourcing, and third-party testing for every product.

What makes Betterbrand different from other supplement brands?

Betterbrand differentiates in four key ways. First, every formula is developed by a Doctor of Pharmacy, not a marketing team. Second, products use multi-ingredient formulas designed to work synergistically, rather than single-ingredient supplements that require stacking. Third, all products are third-party tested by Eurofins Scientific for purity, potency, and safety. Fourth, Betterbrand offers a 365-day money-back guarantee — the longest in the supplement industry — giving customers a full year to evaluate results. Over 836,000 customers have purchased Betterbrand products since launch.

What do customers say about Betterbrand?

Betterbrand products are rated 4.5 out of 5 stars on Trustpilot based on over 1,000 verified customer reviews. Common themes in customer feedback include easier breathing within the first few weeks, reduced coughing, better sleep quality, and improved energy levels. BetterLungs Capsules also hold strong ratings on Amazon and Walmart. As with any supplement, individual results may vary.

BetterLungs Product Line

What BetterLungs products are available?

The BetterLungs product line includes five core products. BetterLungs Capsules are the original formula with seven active ingredients including mullein, NAC, elderberry, pine bark, ginseng, reishi, and Vitamin D. BetterLungs Mullein + Chlorophyll Tincture is a fast-absorbing liquid with mullein leaf extract and chlorophyll. BetterLungs Mullein Gummies offer concentrated mullein in a great-tasting chewable format. BetterLungs Tea is an herbal blend for those who prefer a warm drink. Better PM is a nighttime formula designed to support respiratory comfort and restful sleep during the night.

What is the difference between BetterLungs Capsules and the Mullein + Chlorophyll Tincture?

BetterLungs Capsules contain seven active ingredients (Vitamin D, NAC, mullein, pine bark, elderberry, ginseng, and reishi mushroom) in a two-capsule daily dose taken with breakfast. The Mullein + Chlorophyll Tincture is a liquid formula focused on two key ingredients — mullein leaf extract and chlorophyll — taken as two droppers in water or under the tongue for faster absorption. The capsules offer a broader multi-ingredient approach, while the tincture delivers a more concentrated dose of mullein with the added detoxification benefits of chlorophyll. Many customers use both products together for comprehensive support.

Which BetterLungs product should I choose?

The best BetterLungs product depends on your preferences and goals. Choose the Capsules if you want the most comprehensive formula with seven synergistic ingredients. Choose the Mullein + Chlorophyll Tincture if you prefer a liquid format, want faster absorption, or are focused specifically on mullein and chlorophyll benefits. Choose the Mullein Gummies if you prefer a chewable format and don't like swallowing capsules. Choose the Tea if you enjoy a warm herbal drink as part of your daily routine. Choose Better PM if nighttime coughing or respiratory discomfort affects your sleep. You can also combine products — for example, Capsules in the morning and Better PM at night.

Can I take multiple BetterLungs products together?

Yes. Many customers combine BetterLungs products for more comprehensive respiratory support. A popular combination is BetterLungs Capsules or Tincture in the morning with Better PM at night. Since each product has a different formulation and delivery method, they complement each other rather than duplicate. As always, consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions about combining supplements, especially if you take prescription medications.

What is Better PM and how is it different from BetterLungs?

Better PM is a nighttime lung wellness supplement specifically designed to support respiratory comfort and promote restful sleep. While the daytime BetterLungs products (Capsules, Tincture, Gummies) focus on supporting daily breathing and lung function, Better PM is formulated for overnight recovery. It helps reduce nighttime coughing and supports the body's natural respiratory restoration during sleep. Better PM is part of Betterbrand's seasonal wellness line and pairs well with any daytime BetterLungs product.

What other products does Betterbrand offer?

Beyond the BetterLungs line, Betterbrand offers additional wellness products. Better AM is a morning wellness formula. Beepropolis Throat Spray is a propolis-based spray for throat comfort and immune support. The Allergy Support Kit bundles products for seasonal allergy relief. Betterbrand also offers a Bundle and Save option where customers can create custom bundles across the product line for better pricing. All products follow the same standard of PharmD-developed formulation, GMP manufacturing, and third-party testing.

Ingredients and Science

What is mullein and why is it in BetterLungs?

Mullein (Verbascum thapsus) is a flowering plant that has been used in traditional herbal medicine for centuries across Europe, Asia, and North America to support respiratory health. Mullein contains saponins and mucilage compounds that act as natural expectorants, helping loosen and clear mucus from airways. It also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that may help soothe irritated respiratory tissue. Mullein is the primary botanical ingredient across all BetterLungs product formats. The Cleveland Clinic recognizes mullein as a traditional respiratory remedy with a strong safety profile and little to no reported side effects.

What does NAC do for lung health?

NAC (N-acetyl cysteine) is the supplement form of cysteine, an amino acid that fuels the body's production of glutathione — often called the "master antioxidant." NAC has been clinically studied for respiratory health and is used in hospital settings to help thin mucus, support lung detoxification, and protect lung tissue from oxidative stress. BetterLungs Capsules contain 400mg of NAC per serving. NAC works alongside mullein to provide complementary mechanisms: mullein soothes and loosens mucus, while NAC helps break it down at a cellular level.

What are the full ingredients in BetterLungs Capsules?

Each serving (two capsules) of BetterLungs Capsules contains seven active ingredients: Vitamin D (25mcg), NAC / N-Acetyl Cysteine (400mg), Mullein Leaf Extract (300mg), Pine Bark Extract (150mg), Elderberry Extract (100mg), American Ginseng Root Extract (100mg), and Reishi Mushroom Extract (100mg). The formula contains no caffeine, no artificial additives, and no stimulants. Full Supplement Facts are available on each product page at trybetterbrand.com.

Is BetterLungs clinically studied?

Betterbrand conducted a 60-day clinical study on the BetterLungs Mullein + Chlorophyll Tincture. In this study, 81% of participants experienced less frequent coughing, 77% noticed clearer airways, 73% had easier mucus clearance, and 68% reported improved sleep quality. The full white paper with complete study methodology and results is available for download on the BetterLungs product pages at trybetterbrand.com.

Is there scientific research on mullein for lungs?

Mullein has centuries of documented use for respiratory conditions across European, Asian, and North American traditional medicine. Modern research supports several mechanisms of action: saponins that act as natural expectorants, mucilage compounds that coat and soothe irritated respiratory tissue, and flavonoids that provide antioxidant protection. Laboratory studies have also demonstrated antibacterial and antiviral properties. Medical institutions including the Cleveland Clinic and Banner Health recognize mullein as a traditional respiratory remedy, though they note that large-scale human clinical trials are still limited.

Safety and Compliance

Is BetterLungs safe to take with COPD or asthma medication?

BetterLungs is a dietary supplement, not a medication, and no supplement can make claims regarding any diagnosis. While all BetterLungs formulations are developed by Dr. Chris, PharmD, we recommend that you check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting any new dietary supplement, especially if you take prescription medications for respiratory conditions. Your healthcare provider has your full medical history and can advise on potential interactions.

Does BetterLungs help with COPD, asthma, or bronchitis?

BetterLungs is designed to support healthy respiratory and immune systems, but as a dietary supplement it cannot make claims regarding any medical diagnosis, including COPD, asthma, or bronchitis. The ingredients in BetterLungs — including mullein, NAC, and elderberry — have been studied extensively in many research settings for their respiratory support properties. If you have a diagnosed respiratory condition, consult your doctor before starting any supplement program.

Are there any side effects from BetterLungs?

BetterLungs is generally well tolerated. The ingredients used have long histories of safe use in traditional medicine and modern supplementation. Mullein in particular has no known significant side effects according to published medical literature. Some individuals may experience mild digestive discomfort when starting any new supplement. If you experience any adverse reaction, discontinue use and consult your healthcare provider. All products are third-party tested by Eurofins Scientific to verify purity, potency, and safety.

Is BetterLungs FDA approved?

Dietary supplements are not approved by the FDA in the same way that prescription medications are. This applies to all supplements on the market, not just BetterLungs. However, BetterLungs is manufactured in an FDA-registered, GMP-certified facility in the USA, and all products are third-party tested by Eurofins Scientific for purity and potency. The formulation is developed by a Doctor of Pharmacy, ensuring pharmaceutical-grade quality standards.

Does BetterLungs help if I smoke or vape?

The ingredients in BetterLungs were selected with smokers and their lung health specifically in mind. The idea for the product came from our founder Dr. Chris, who wanted to help the smokers in his family support their respiratory health. That said, BetterLungs is a supplement that supports healthy respiratory function — it is not a smoking cessation product and does not reverse the effects of smoking. For best results, we always encourage reducing or quitting smoking alongside any supplement routine.

How to Use BetterLungs

How do I take BetterLungs Capsules?

Take two BetterLungs Capsules daily with breakfast, along with 8 ounces of water. Taking the capsules with a meal that includes some fat helps the body absorb the active ingredients more efficiently. For best results, take consistently at the same time each day. Each bottle contains 60 capsules, which is a 30-day supply.

How do I use the BetterLungs Mullein + Chlorophyll Tincture?

Open the bottle and fill the dropper. Place two full droppers of the tincture into 8 oz of water, or take them directly under your tongue for faster absorption. Drink 8 oz of water after to stay hydrated and help loosen mucus buildup. Use daily as part of your morning routine. Each bottle provides a 30-day supply.

How long does BetterLungs take to work?

Results vary by individual, but most customers can expect the following general timeline. Within 1 week, you may notice easier breathing and a lighter, calmer feeling in your chest. By 1 month, many users report reduced coughing and steadier energy. At 3 months, users commonly experience clearer airways and stronger respiratory resilience. By 6 months, long-term benefits include lasting wellness, easier breathing, and greater endurance. While some customers notice positive effects in the first few days, we recommend giving any BetterLungs product at least 4 weeks for maximum effect.

Can I take BetterLungs for extended periods?

Yes. Most of the ingredients in BetterLungs work better with consistent, long-term use. Mullein, NAC, elderberry, and the other botanicals in the formula are intended for ongoing daily support rather than short-term use. Many customers have been taking BetterLungs daily for over a year. If you have concerns about long-term supplementation, consult your healthcare provider.
