Nature’s Sunshine introduced Seasonal Defense in the fall of 2003. But these fabulous ingredients were part of a healing culture long before that… Andrographis has been used for centuries in Asia, Africa and America for immune, digestive and circulatory support. Historically it was also used for snake bites, insect stings, and for digestive and respiratory issues.
Thyme is native to the Mediterranean region, and Romans were known to eat it to ward off food poisoning. Before the onset of refrigeration, people regularly cooked with thyme to help protect against spoilage. According to research, the active constituent thymol provides antioxidant and immune-modulatory benefits.
Chinese practitioners were using eleuthero more than 2,000 years ago for respiratory and immune support, concentration, memory, and to build energy and longevity.
