For the stretches where you're running on less than usual.
SUMMARY
Built on amla, the fruit Ayurveda treasures as a rasayana and one of the richest natural sources of vitamin C there is. Tulsi, ginger and turmeric sit behind it and bring the warmth. The amla comes in two forms, the whole fruit as the herb and an organic amla extract that covers the vitamin C for the day. Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
FULL DESCRIPTION
There are stretches where you're not ill, you're just running on less than usual. A run of late nights, a few weeks of eating whatever was quickest, too much on for too long.
Immune Defence is made for those stretches, and for the ordinary ones either side. In Ayurveda, amla is a rasayana, one of the plants taken every day over long periods, on the understanding that this kind of thing accumulates rather than arrives.
Amla, or Indian gooseberry, comes first, and it comes as whole fruit. It's one of the most treasured plants in Ayurveda, and one of the richest natural sources of vitamin C there is. It's also cooling, which is surprising for something so sour, and that's part of why it's held so highly.
Tulsi, ginger and turmeric sit behind it and bring the warmth, which is what a cooler, damper climate than India's tends to call for. Three warming herbs on one side, cooling amla on the other, and the blend lands gently warming rather than tipping too far either way.
Amla is in this blend in two forms. The whole fruit is the herb, and it leads the blend. The second is an organic amla extract, and that's where the vitamin C comes from, with enough of it to cover you for the day. Whole plant first, extract only where a nutrient level has to be met. That holds across all of our blends. Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system, to the protection of cells from oxidative stress, and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
