other flavonoids, giving them a strong antioxidant quality. Its major use as traditional medicine is to support the liver, help maintain normal blood sugar, and support anti-inflammatory functions. The next powerful ingredient included in our mykind Organics immune support formulas is amla berry. Amla (Phyllanthus emblica), also known as Indian gooseberry, is famous in various Ayurvedic and Unani traditions. The health benefits of amla berry may be attributed to its high, whole-food vitamin C content, and 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, amla can help protect against infection and improve the body’s immune response. Vitamin C in amla also supports the liver, nourishes the brain and promotes a healthy heart. † Along with our organic elderberry, organic aronia berry, and organic amla berry, both of our Elderberry Immune Formulas include organic echinacea and organic rosemary. Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea) is a flowering plant native to North America and was extensively used in Native American traditional remedies, as well as American folk herbalist medicines. In the early 20th Century, European herbalists embraced echinacea, and now it’s one of the most popular herbal supplements worldwide. There are at least nine species of echinacea cultivated for use in supplements. The root of the echinacea plant is used. Both traditional use and clinical Elderberry Syrup is a convenient delivery system— perfect for the entire family. Adults take 6.5ml up to two times per day (serving cup included).

Since primordial times, rosemary, a Mediterranean herb has graced gardens, kitchens and apothecaries around the world with its woodsy citrus-like fragrance. Rosemary has been used traditionally for thousands of ailments such as alleviating muscle pain, improving poor memory, boosting the immune system, promoting hair growth and enhancing the circulatory system.
