Sometimes you just know your immune system needs a little help. Good thing nature has a number of different herbs you can turn to in moments like this. Here are 6 of our favorite herbs for active immune support.*

Black Elderberry

Black Elderberry provides deep support for an active immune response. Our Black Elderberry extract is prepared from Certified Organic, fully-ripened berries of Sambucus nigra trees. To assure optimal extraction of Black Elderberry's bioactive compounds, the berries are hand-harvested only when fully mature. It has a tart, fruity taste.*

Echinacea

Echinacea is a foundational immune herb that provides complex, deep support of the immune system over both the short and long term.
