Formula includes Organic Rosemary (leaf) Extract. Rosemary, a Mediterranean herb, contains antibacterial and antioxidant rosmarinic acid, plus several other essential oils that are known to have anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal and antiseptic properties. Acerola Cherry The next powerful ingredient included in our mykind Organics Elderberry immune support † formula is Acerola cherry. In fact, all our new mykind Elderberry formulas contain Acerola as the primary source of vitamin C. Its high, whole-food vitamin C content contributes to its impressive antioxidant abilities. It can protect our cells from free radical damage, and increase the white blood cells in the body, which are the main line of defense for the immune system. Due to its antibacterial and astringent attributes, Acerola can help protect against infection and improve the body’s immune response. We are using acerola cherry extract which is extremely concentrated at 32-34% vitamin C. Zinc from Organic Guava Our formula doesn’t stop there. We have also incorporated whole-food derived zinc from Organic Guava. Traditionally known for its anti-inflammatory properties, Guava leaf is rich in zinc, an essential mineral that is involved in numerous aspects of cellular function. It’s vital to support the healthy function of cells of the immune system. The body requires zinc to develop and activate specialized T cells that play an important role in immunity and in killing harmful microorganisms. Zinc may also help reduce the severity and duration of common cold symptoms by binding to the nasal mucosa and suppressing inflammation of the airways. NEW ! Elderberry Formulas Cough & Mucus Immune Syrup † for Adults & Kids Along with Organic Elderberry, Echinacea, Rosemary, Acerola and Guava we added a clinically effective dose of Organic English Ivy Leaf to help this soothing syrup loosen and clear mucus. † Ivy leaf contains saponins—plant-derived glycosides that have mucolytic, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties. Traditionally, dry extracts from ivy leaves are used as an expectorant for coughs and to help reduce inflammation in chronic bronchial conditions. In Europe, English ivy leaf is indicated for expectorant use and for the relief of coughs (EMA, 2017).
