Supplement Spotlight: Black Elderberry

What is Black Elderberry?
Black Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) is a dark purple berry revered for its immune-boosting properties. Used for centuries in traditional medicine across Europe and North America, it is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and bioactive compounds that support the body’s natural defences.

The Benefits
Black Elderberry is rich in anthocyanins — powerful antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress and inflammation. These compounds also play a key role in enhancing immune system function, helping your body fend off illnesses more effectively.

In our Intense Immunity oral spray, Black Elderberry provides quick immune support during high-stress times or when your immune system needs an extra boost.

Other Benefits:

  • Shortens illness duration: Proven to reduce recovery time from colds and flu-like symptoms.
  • Fights free radicals: Neutralises oxidative stress to protect cells and tissues.
  • Reduces inflammation: Supports the body’s response to physical and environmental stress.
  • Boosts skin health: Antioxidants protect against environmental damage, improving overall wellness.

Active Ingredients and Why They Work
Black Elderberry’s immune-supporting benefits stem from its potent natural compounds:

  • Anthocyanins: These flavonoids reduce oxidative stress and inflammation while improving immune response.
  • Vitamin C: A key antioxidant that strengthens immune cell activity and reduces illness duration.
  • Polyphenols: Provide broad-spectrum antioxidant protection and cellular repair.

Why We Use a Concentrated Extract
Our Intense Immunity oral spray uses a standardised Black Elderberry extract to maximise its anthocyanin content, ensuring consistent immune support in every dose.

Why an Oral Spray?
The oral spray format ensures rapid absorption, delivering Black Elderberry’s immune benefits directly into your bloodstream for faster results compared to traditional capsules or syrups.

Stacks Great With:

  • Vitamin C: Enhances immune cell activity and antioxidant protection.
  • Turkey Tail Mushroom: Provides complementary immune-modulating benefits for stronger resilience.

Supplement Spotlight: Reduced Glutathione

What is Reduced Glutathione?
Glutathione is the body’s “master antioxidant,” a tripeptide composed of glutamine, cysteine, and glycine. In its reduced form, glutathione is highly bioavailable and ready to neutralise free radicals, detoxify the body, and support overall immune health.

The Benefits
Reduced Glutathione plays a central role in maintaining cellular health by protecting immune cells from oxidative stress. It also supports detoxification by aiding the liver in removing toxins, heavy metals, and other harmful substances.

In our Intense Immunity oral spray, Reduced Glutathione enhances immune defence, reduces inflammation, and promotes overall cellular resilience.

Other Benefits:

  • Detoxifies the liver: Assists in removing toxins and pollutants from the body.
  • Enhances cellular repair: Protects and regenerates cells under oxidative stress.
  • Reduces inflammation: Balances the immune response for better recovery.
  • Improves energy levels: Supports mitochondrial function for optimal energy production.

Active Ingredients and Why They Work
Reduced Glutathione’s potency lies in its ability to neutralise free radicals and assist detoxification:

  • Antioxidant Activity: Glutathione directly neutralises reactive oxygen species (ROS) to reduce oxidative stress.
  • Detoxification Support: Binds to heavy metals and toxins, aiding in their removal through the liver.
  • Immune Cell Protection: Shields white blood cells from oxidative damage to maintain immune efficiency.

Why We Use Reduced Glutathione
We use the reduced form of glutathione because it is more stable, bioavailable, and ready to act immediately in the body, providing maximum antioxidant and detoxification support.

Why an Oral Spray?
An oral spray bypasses digestive degradation, delivering Reduced Glutathione directly into the bloodstream for faster and more effective absorption.

Stacks Great With:

  • Vitamin C: Works synergistically to regenerate glutathione and boost antioxidant defences.
  • Astragalus Root: Enhances immune modulation for comprehensive immune support.
