Ciban

Ciban is a phytonutrient that is an alternative to the conventional medication Zyban, used to help people stop smoking.

Ciban is a synergistic combination of the herb Lobelia together with Vitamin C.   Lobelia has been used for decades to help people stop smoking, and is also used to improve pulmonary symptoms of cough, shortness of breath and so on.   It appears to work in a similar way to the conventional drug in that it effectively blocks the central receptors that respond to nicotine in the brain, so that you do not feel the same benefit from smoking, and in fact if you continue to smoke whilst taking Ciban you will feel quite nauseous.

Vitamin C is known to be deficient in smokers, as the body uses large amounts as anti-oxidants to try and counteract the damaging effect of the nicotine and the other harmful constituents of cigarettes.   Boosting the intake of vitamin C helps with the removal of damaging free radicals found in the body from smoking, and helps the body with detoxification.

Recommended Dosage

One capsule three times daily.

May be increased if necessary – as advised by a health practitioner.

Cautions / Adverse Reactions

Ciban is well tolerated at the recommended dosage.   Higher doses can cause nausea and even vomiting, and this is more likely if you smoke.

Avoid in pregnancy, shock, feeble pulse or paralysis.
