We think you'll find Elderberry Comfort warming, calming and comforting any time you need extra immune support... a new tradition you won't want to be without.

Elderberry - Sweet berries for virus protection Elderberry extract is an old fashioned soother for those suffering from winter colds, and flu. The juice of the elderberry has been used since the 17th century as a tea and cordial to sooth sore throats, speed recovery from cold and flu and relieve respiratory distress. Elderberries contain a considerable amount of vitamins A, B and C, as well as flavonoids, carotenoids and amino acids. Elderberry is also helpful in easing inflammation.

Reishi - Warm, comforting immune strength American-grown organic Reishi is one of our favorite herbs at BrainChild. This life-giving traditional food is the highest honored mushroom in the ancient Chinese healing pantheon. Reishi protects the liver, eases inflammation, helps fight viruses, bacteria and candida, and modulates the immune system. We think it also gives us a very warm, healthy feeling inside when we take it, and it adds a distinctive dark, chocolate-like flavor that we like a lot. What a perfect wintertime helper!
