Ingredient Highlights
7 Mushrooms from Organixx is a proprietary blend of 7 potent nutritional mushrooms well-known for their immune system support and anti-aging properties.
Apple Cider Vinegar is full of enzymes and good bacteria. It contains acetic acid, which has been shown to help lower blood pressure.
The high beta-carotene content of cayenne pepper has been found to increase immunity and help reduce symptoms in asthma.
There are over 300 varieties of garlic grown around the world. It is considered both a vegetable and an herb and is clinically proven to support the immune system.
Ginger is a potent aromatic herb and a good natural source of vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, copper, and manganese. According to the ancient healing system of Ayurveda, ginger strengthens the immune system by helping to break down toxins in the body’s organs, thereby cleansing the lymphatic system.
Horseradish is a large, white root vegetable with a pungent flavor that is used as both a condiment and medicine. It’s high in dietary fiber, folate, vitamin C, calcium, potassium, magnesium, and manganese.
Jalapeno peppers contain a special compound called capsaicin that can invigorate the immune system and detoxification process.
Lemon zest contains a compound known as D-Limonene which is believed to help burn fat, reduce inflammation, and kill disease-causing germs.
Onions are nutrient-dense, meaning they’re low in calories but high in vitamins and minerals such as vitamins C, B, and potassium. The flavanoids are concentrated in the outer layers, so try to remove as few layers as possible when peeling.
Raw honey is a good source of many vitamins and is rich in antioxidants. Its antioxidant and anti-bacterial properties can help improve overall immune function.
Over 5,600 research studies show turmeric – with its active ingredient curcumin – is clinically proven to help curb inflammation and support the body in maintaining healthy inflammation levels.
