One of our favorite immune-boosting ingredients to watch is Elderberry. It not only has been shown to help protect key immune cells from the harmful effects of oxidative stress, but it tastes great too!
Elderberry is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. It stimulates the immune system, helping the body fend off illnesses and infections.
