The Chk’n Soup’s Secret Story
Your parents and grandparents probably relied on homemade chicken soup to alleviate the symptoms of the common cold. Our founder, a pharmacist and the man behind Chk’n Soup’s Secret tried his best to keep up with that tradition, but as a parent of 3 beautiful girls, his life became busy and finding time to cook homemade chicken soup became nearly impossible! He turned to canned soup but soon felt "Chicken Soup Guilt." He felt that he was not giving his girls the same love and attention that he received when he was a sick as a child. He asked himself two big questions. What is the scientific reason that chicken soup works? And then, can I spare other parents from “Chicken Soup Guilt”? He conducted an in-depth, scientific literature search to understand why homemade chicken soup works.
The secret revealed
Our founder learned that homemade chicken soup contains micro-nutrients from vegetables and an amazing amino acid that’s released from the chicken protein when chicken soup is made. That amino acid is NAC (n-acetylcysteine). NAC's safety and efficacy has been substantiated in countless studies as a mucolytic (thins mucus) and anti-oxidant (protects your cells from free radicals).
Our founder cooked a batch of his family recipe homemade chicken soup and sent a sample to an accredited analytical lab in hopes the lab could find and quantify the immune boosting ingredients. The laboratory confirmed that his recipe contained an amount of the amino acid, NAC, consistent with the amount needed to help break mucus as cited in scientific literature.
The result of our founder’s inquisitive mind and hard work led to a patented formula that contains a replica of the immune boosting ingredients in a bowl of homemade chicken soup boosted with Vitamin C.
