SHIELD UP Cold & Flu Defense Blend

When the season changes and your body needs backup, Shield Up delivers. This powerful immune-activating blend brings together five of nature's most respected antiviral and antibacterial herbs into one bold, warming cup. Crafted to be used at the first sign of illness or as a daily immune ritual during high-risk seasons, Shield Up works with your body's natural defenses — not against them.

HERBS IN THIS BLEND

• Elderberry — antiviral powerhouse, rich in immune-activating anthocyanins

• Echinacea — stimulates white blood cell activity and shortens illness duration

• Peppermint Leaf — opens airways, reduces congestion, and soothes sore throats

• Mullein Leaf — clears mucus from the lungs and supports healthy breathing

• Ginger (suggested addition if available) — warming, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial

KEY BENEFITS

• Activates and strengthens the body's natural immune response

• Supports clear, healthy breathing during congestion

• Reduces the duration and severity of cold and flu symptoms

• Soothes inflamed tissues in the throat and respiratory tract

• Provides antioxidant protection during times of immune stress

TASTING NOTES Bold, warming, and slightly tart with a cooling peppermint finish. Deep berry undertones from the elderberry. Best enjoyed hot with raw honey and a squeeze of lemon.
