Astragalus root (Huang qi) is a traditional Chinese Medicine herb used historically to support healthy immune function. Astragalus helps the body balance the negative effects of stress on the immune system. Vitamin C from organic acerola extract is a corn-free source of vitamin C. Acerola is a berry rich in ascorbic acid and other potent antioxidants, thus giving it “superfruit” status. Vitamin C is an important antioxidant that helps protect cells from free radical oxidation and supports healthy immune function. Vitamin D can be made by the body through the skin’s exposure to sunshine, or you can get it from food or dietary supplements. Vitamin D supports immune function and is essential for optimal wellness. As we age, our body becomes less efficient at producing vitamin D. Currently, 57% of Americans are vitamin D deficient.

These added functional ingredients were selected based on their extensive research and solid safety profiles. Astragalus adds targeted immune support and has a long history of use as well as scientific support. Vitamins D and C have been extensively researched and deficiency of either nutrient has been associated with health problems.
