Vitamin C leads the orchestra, while this blend also features powerful co-factors to support immune health.

Vitamin C helps improve neutrophil chemotaxis to sites of infection, as well as phagocytosis and killing of microbes. Furthermore, it protects against excessive tissue damage by increasing apoptosis and clearance by macrophages.

Amla Fruit Extract

Emblica officinalis (Amla) is an invaluable medicinal plant native to India’s subcontinent and widely recognized for its immune boosting abilities in ancient Ayurvedic texts like Charaka Samhita from 2nd century BCE. Amla provides natural vitamin C with potency antioxidant properties as well as numerous health advantages that make this an invaluable addition.

Amla is rich in vitamin C, polyphenols, ellagitannins and flavonoids; studies on human and animal subjects have demonstrated its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, hypoglycemic and hyperlipidemic benefits as well as its ability to stimulate white blood cell production and antibody levels.

Amla contains several ellagitannins with antioxidative and antithrombotic properties such as corilagin, chebulagic acid and elaeocarpusin that have proven their ability to combat oxidative stress by limiting the formation of free radicals – effectively protecting cell membranes against damage. Furthermore, these compounds boast antithrombotic effects to promote cardiovascular health by increasing blood fluidity and decreasing platelet aggregation.

Nutritionally and phytochemically speaking, amla contains high protein levels as well as being an excellent source of soluble fibres. Furthermore, its fiber helps intestinal transit by stimulating bowel movements – thus avoiding constipation or other digestive discomforts. In terms of phytochemistry and phenolic compounds found in amla fruit extract, its rich phytochemistry accelerates metabolism by improving protein synthesis while attenuating fat deposits; its antitumor properties stem from its ability to induce apoptosis without harming healthy tissues while attenuating malignant cell proliferation without harming healthy tissues.

Amla can play an integral part in improving cardiovascular health. Studies conducted on rats and mice have demonstrated its ability to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels, while increasing activity of GSH reductase, an enzyme known for mitigating oxidative stress.

Amla can also aid in the fight against clarithromycin-resistant Helicobacter pylori, the primary cause of stomach ulcers. This effect is due to its rich concentration of polyphenols and vitamin C which have shown their ability to mitigate oxidative stress by limiting formation of hydroxyl radicals, increasing GSH activity levels and inducing endogenous antioxidant defense systems in our bodies.

Orange Peel Extract

One medium orange contains 78% of your daily vitamin C needs, helping your immune system. Vitamin C is an antioxidant which increases white blood cell production to fight infections, as well as aiding with iron absorption from sources like spinach and black beans.

Vitamin C plays a key role in strengthening your immune system by fighting inflammation in the body and may reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease and dementia. Oranges contain potassium, folate, fiber and other vital nutrients.

Citrus peel extracts as natural flavoring agents have grown increasingly popular, particularly for tea. Citrus peels add an appealing new taste and texture, as well as increasing the hue of drinks. In addition, orange peels contain polyphenols and other phytochemicals with powerful antioxidant properties.

Orange peels contain high levels of dietary fibre and vitamin C, providing essential nourishment for gut health and supporting immunity. Furthermore, their flavonoids such as hesperidin and narirutin have anti-inflammatory effects to provide additional immune system support.

Preclinical studies have demonstrated that nobiletin-rich citrus peel flavanones can improve cognitive performance in both healthy individuals and those suffering from AD by decreasing oxidative stress, improving glucose metabolism, increasing BDNF production, and increasing synaptic plasticity within the brain.

Oranges aren’t the only foods that can boost your immunity; garlic contains allicin, while yogurt boasts probiotics which support digestive health. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables will also be key for keeping your immunity strong, as will getting enough sleep and exercising regularly – this will give your body the best chance at fighting infection and staying healthy!

Rosehip Extract

Rose Hip seed oil is one of the premier natural sources of Vitamin C. Additionally, it boasts an abundance of essential fatty acids such as Linoleic and Oleic acids as well as Palmitic and Stearic acids, providing essential nourishment to both hair and skin. Being light oil, it penetrates easily through both scalp and skin layers nourishing both with essential lipids; helping reduce fine lines and wrinkles as well as restore elasticity to both. Several studies have also reported this oil helping prevent cancer cell proliferation while having anti-inflammatory effects against skin cancer cell proliferation as well as having anti-inflammatory benefits on skin surfaces.

Rose Hip’s anti-inflammatory properties are linked to its galactolipids compounds. These galactolipids appear to prevent production of TNF-a, IL-1b and IL-6 as well as block tumor blood vessel development. Furthermore, rose hip contains other flavonoids which protect against oxidative stress while aiding wound healing processes.

Studies evaluating Rosa canina’s anti-cancer properties have demonstrated its significant reduction of cell viability in both leukaemia and colon cancer cell lines, along with an increase in expression of both retinoid X receptors and vitamin D receptors in these cells. Furthermore, research shows that incubating with neutral and acid phenolic extracts from Rosa canina significantly inhibited human colon cancer growth while simultaneously inducing apoptosis (cell death).

Note that vitamin C in large doses may interact with certain blood thinning medications like Coumadin (warfarin). Therefore, any supplement or herbal remedy containing Vitamin C must be carefully considered prior to consumption.

New Directions Aromatics’ proprietary Immune Support formula boasts 130% Daily Value of Vitamin C in an immune-enhancing blend of orange peels, floral rose hips, fruity blackberry leaves and tart hibiscus fruits for optimal immune support.

Blackberry Leaf Extract

Blackberry Leaf extract is an exceptional immune-enhancing herb. Packed with potency-boosting plant chemicals like kaempferol, rutinoside and quercetin-3-O-rutinoside that have been demonstrated to boost macrophage activity – an important aspect of protecting our bodies against parasitic, bacterial and viral infections; furthermore it has also been found to decrease any suppressive effects caused by chemotherapy treatments on immune function.

Blackberry Seed Oil is packed with antioxidants, tocopherols and tocotrienols – three essential components for optimal skin care routine. Penetrated into skin layers it envelops in nutrients which nourish them from within – while essential fatty acids provide nourishment to hair follicles to support scalp health and promote hair growth.

Not only is turmeric an anti-inflammatory agent, it’s an outstanding antidiabetic and can help prevent metabolic diseases like diabetes. Furthermore, turmeric can also be used as an effective mouthwash against thrush, gum inflammations and mouth ulcers as well as digestive disorders like diarrhea treatment – plus has strong astringent properties.

This nutrient-dense plant boasts high concentrations of dietary fibre, vitamin C and phytochemicals – three key elements in protecting against heart disease and improving circulation. Furthermore, vitamin C boosts immunity while supporting respiratory systems; finally its phytochemicals may even protect against neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s. Recent studies support this speculation.

Blackberry leaves contain high concentrations of phenolic acids that make them an extremely potent antioxidant source. Studies have demonstrated their strength as antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and Alzheimer-slowing agents; furthermore they can even inhibit butyrylcholinesterase activity which is linked with Alzheimer’s progression. Our Loch Tay variety blackberry leaves contain these phenolic compounds such as hydroxybenzoic acid, 2- and 3-catechin, 5-epicatechin flavonols isoflavones flavonols isoflavones ellagic acid and tannins which make our blackberry leaves the ultimate antioxidant source!
