What is one supplement I could take if everyone around me is getting a cold or flu?

We often suggest a unique, great-tasting, chewable herbal tablet called Esberitox, which has been around since 2011 and whose formulation has remained unchanged. Of course, nothing beats having an up-to-date vaccination status, along with daily living that consists of a nutritious diet and active lifestyle as a foundation.

Each Esberitox tablet consists of wild indigo root (1.64mg), Echinacea pallida root (0.615mg), Echinacea purpurea root (0.615mg), and thuja tips (0.33mg). Note the extremely low concentrations of each herb; for example, typical echinacea formulations contain 500-600mg per capsule, and up to 16g (ie. 16,000mg) has been studied for daily use. Yet, the formulation is highly effective at these low concentrations because it takes advantage of the synergism of the herbs, where they are theorized to augment and enhance the action of (or “supercharging”) each other, allowing for maximal benefits at minimal dosing.

Esberitox dosing starts at age four, and it can be safely combined with oil of oregano, and/or sambucus to further alleviate your symptoms and lead to a speedy recovery. Come chat with Fred Cheng, Christine Cheng, and their integrative pharmacist team at Pharmasave Steveston Village for details.
