Ingredient Health Benefits

Elderberry - contains high levels of antioxidants known as anthocyanins which have been shown to reduce inflammation-associated swelling (great for sore throats!), and help the body fight bacterial and viral infection. 

Probiotics - helps repopulate the gut with friendly flora to boost immunity (80% of our immune system is in the gut!)

Enzymes - aids in digestion, and takes the strain off of digestive organs while the body fends off the pathogen and heals.

Lemon - contains bioflavonoids, Vitamin C, and enzymes, and is cleansing to the liver and alkalinizing to the body's pH.
