Ultimate Immune: A Slam Dunk for Your Body’s Defense
If you took part in our March Matt-ness bracket last year, you probably remember our Ultimate Immune juice winning in the finals. A crowd favorite, it’s no surprise the fans showed up to vote for this purple powerhouse of organic goodness. What gave Ultimate Immune the game-winning assist? It’s stacked lineup of championship-worthy ingredients, of course:!
Elderberry: The MVP!
Elderberry is a superstar player on team Ultimate Immune. This vitamin-C packed berry gives this juice its vibrant purple color. The abundance of nutritional properties found in elderberry have been studied for helping boost the immune system’s performance. Research suggests elderberry can also lessen the severity of cold and flu symptoms and even decrease illness duration. For this reason, we recommend Ultimate Immune when traveling, or anytime you may encounter a full court press of germs.
Organic Orange Juice: The team captain!
Orange juice leads this functional beverage as the primary ingredient. Our delicious citrus drives the team with a foundation of immune support. The Florida Department of Citrus touts that one 8oz glass of OJ provides 100% of your Recommended Daily Allowance of vitamin C. Double teamed with elderberry, orange juice power ranks Ultimate Immune in germ defense.
Acerola: The point guard!
Another superfruit in our all-star lineup is acerola. This little berry closely resembles a cherry with off the charts vitamin C stats. If it came down to the wire, acerola is the buzzer-beater three-pointer to push Ultimate Immune to 300% vitamin C per serving.
Zinc: A natural defender!
This essential element supports the immune system and has the potential to help you rebound quicker from the common cold. Zinc appears to be involved in making physical barriers – such as the cells that line our organs – more resistant to invasion. Therefore, we included zinc in Ultimate Immune to help guard your body from bacteria and viruses.
Veg D3®: Our #1 draft pick!
Did you know? Uncle Matt’s Organic is one of the first companies in the world to use VegD3® powder in beverages? This supplement is a vegan source of vitamin D3. Most plant-based sources of vitamin D only provide D2. This algae-based supplement is a lay-up for those with dietary lifestyles that don’t allow for consuming animal sources of this nutrient. What’s more, adequate intake of Vitamin D helps the body with blocking bacteria and viruses.
Your life doesn’t always warrant a timeout during cold and flu season, especially if you have kiddos! To keep your body and theirs from working overtime to fend off germs, add a glass of Ultimate Immune into your daily warmup routine. Find this functional beverage in a retailer near you or order online in the Uncle Matt’s Shop. Swoosh!
