Year Round
Immune System Support †
Support a Healthy Immune System †
The first of our three formulas is our existing Elderberry Immune Syrup. This formula is
designed to provide year-round concentrated immune support and to help you stay
healthy. As a preventative therapy, it has a high dosage of 1.5g (1500mg) of Organic
Blackberry Elderberry per serving. This is a great formula to take when you feel that
you are susceptible to immune challenges: perhaps your
children are sick, or your colleagues in the office have the
sniffles, if you are starting to experience early symptoms
such as a scratchy throat, become highly stressed and run
down, or just planning some air travel. This formula will help
to protect your healthy cells from attack in all these real life
immune-challenging situations. † Organic Black Elderberry,
Organic Aronia Berry, Organic Echinacea and Organic
Rosemary are just a few of the powerful herbal ingredients
in this immune-support formulation. †

mykind Organics co-founders, Alicia Silverstone and
Garden of Life, are proud to introduce two new delicious

which combines bedtime herbs with our elderberry
immune syrup, † and Cough & Mucus, which soothes
everyday throat irritations, while helping to clear mucus
when coughing. † All of our products are Certified USDA
Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Certified Vegan and
Certified Gluten Free, and are made with real fruit, no
added sugar, artificial sweeteners, flavors, colors or any
harsh chemicals—just wholesome organic plant goodness!
Rich in anthocyanins which provide antioxidant support and
anti-inflammatory benefits. † Used traditionally for colds,
sinus infections and influenza. †
Elderberry has a very long history as
a medicinal herb. Dating back to the
ancient Egyptians and Hippocrates (the
Greek father of medicine), it has been
a major part of every practitioner’s
medicine chest. Because of this, science
has conducted considerable research on
elderberry, demonstrating its immunesupporting
capabilities. † Its antioxidant
power is one of the highest, with a large
array of flavonoids called anthocyanins,
which are known to contribute to the
protection of normal healthy cells, and
help protect immune cells from damage.
Elderberry is renowned for its ability to
reduce colds, sinus infections and even
influenza. † Packed with many beneficial
nutrients, including minerals such as iron,
potassium, phosphorous and copper,
elderberries also contain vitamins A, B and
C, as well as proteins and dietary fiber.
Aronia Berry
is considered to be a super
fruit because many of its
benefits mirror those
of Elderberry. Containing a
high content of procyanidins,
anthocyanins and phenolic
acids, Aronia berry provides protection
against the damaging effects of oxidative
stress on the immune system.
Echinacea
Our clinical herbalist, Dr. Terry Willard
included Organic Echinacea purpurea
(root) extract to enhance the immune
power of the formula. † Phytochemicals
abundant in the root of Echinacea,
such as alkylamides and echinacosides,
are thought to contribute to the
immunostimulatory effects of the
traditional plant. Echinacea has been
shown in studies to reduce the severity
of symptoms for the common cold by
45-to-58%. It has been widely used for
other issues including influenza, and
respiratory infections. †
