Elderberry D3Fense
Elderberry has a long history of being useful for viral infections, flus, colds, and congestion. Elderberry, itself, renders viruses inactive by not allowing them to enter the body’s cells then causing them to implode. In this blend, it is combined with vitamin D3, echinacea, olive leaf, and royal jelly for added immune support. Elderberry can also be found in the Sunshine Heroes Elderberry Immune chewables for children.
Zinc
Zinc is an important mineral for immune system functioning. In stimulating the immune system, it is antiseptic and antiviral. It also has antioxidant and tissue healing properties.
