IMMUNE SYSTEM FORTIFIER

This drink strengthens and supports the immune system, helping the body to fight coughs, colds and other infections. It has no components that could overexert the immune system and works purely as a supportive tonic.

Aloe Vera's polysaccharide constituents stimulate the immune system, so this combintion has a balancing and beneficial effect.

The Reishi mushroom, which is available as a powder, is reowned for its support to the immune system.

Organic red grape juice, which you can buy or make, flavours the drink and is rich in antioxidants and other constituents that help the immune system to fight infections. This drink should be taken immediately or within 8 hours.
