Ingredients explained
Grapefruit Seed Extract
Provides polyphenols such as naringin that may act as antioxidants and influence microbial balance in the gut and mouth.
Caution: May interact with medications metabolized by CYP enzymes; separate from medications and consult a healthcare professional if unsure.
Vitamin C (as calcium ascorbate)
Functions as an antioxidant and cofactor for enzymes involved in collagen formation and cellular defense processes.
Caution: Can cause stomach upset in some people; taking with food may improve tolerance.
Zinc (as gluconate)
Acts as a cofactor for many enzymes involved in cellular signaling and antioxidant activity.
Caution: High zinc intake can upset stomach and compete with copper absorption; avoid using multiple zinc products together unless guided.
Reishi Mushroom Extract (4:1)
Contains beta-glucans and triterpenes that may modulate immune cell activity and oxidative stress responses.
Caution: May cause mild digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals; take with food if needed.
Echinacea angustifolia Extract (4:1)
Provides phenolic compounds that may influence cytokine signaling and support innate immune activity.
Caution: People with daisy family allergies may be sensitive; stop use if allergic symptoms occur.
How they work together
Vitamin C and zinc provide antioxidant and enzymatic support, while grapefruit seed extract and echinacea contribute plant compounds that influence microbial balance and innate defenses. Reishi adds beta-glucans that may help coordinate immune cell activity. Together, these pathways offer broad nutritional support during times of increased demands.
