A couple of years ago a nasty, respiratory virus roared
through our family. I staggered into Whole Foods, hot with fever, my body
feeling as though a thousand dwarves from Arda were pounding me with their mean
little hammers. Keeping a safe distance away so that I didn’t infect the nice,
curly-haired man named Bill who was working among the supplements, I inquired
about remedies that might alleviate the symptoms of the virus. He held up a box
of elderberry lozenges called Immunity Take Care, made by the
company, New Chapter. Bill explained that it works to fortify the immune
system after a virus invades. It also works even better when taken at the first
signs of illness. Feeling desperate, I paid $40 for the oversized bottle
containing thirty small, good tasting, dissolvable lozenges. Well, waddya know,
if the whole durn family wasn’t exceedingly better in a couple of days.
From that happy day, we were sold on Immunity Take
Care! Now, at the first sign of illness I go to Whole Foods or our
local, Lois’ Natural Foods, to buy some. When I’m feeling especially smart, I
go online and buy several bottles so we’re stocked and ready ahead of time. The result is that we have been sick less often, and times
when we have actually succumbed to something, the duration has been shorter.
We are not scientists but we like to stick with what works,
and like a good neighbor, we want to pass on our experience to you. (No, State
Farm is not there. Gotcha.) We actually have no stock in this company, (but maybe
we should!)
Here is a blurb from New Chapter:
In the Middle Ages Elderberry was traditionally used to help
support the immune system. New Chapter is proud to deliver this revered
botanical in Immunity Take Care an herbal therapeutic that enhances the immune
system. New Chapter believes in the infinite wisdom of nature and that the
whole herb and its family of chemistries and not just a small fraction of its
chemical components delivers Nature' true wisdom. This belief in the whole herb
represents the foundation of our formulation philosophy for all herbal
therapeutics. While many conventional extracts of Elderberry are available none
consistently provides the broad spectrum of herbal chemistries and key
bioactives available in Immunity Take Care. This breakthrough formula combines
Nature' full herbal intelligence with a unique and patent pending DARTvision
extraction process that guarantees dose assured potency in every lozenge.
Dosage Assured Potency Using a scientific breakthrough called DARTvision Immunity
Take Care herbal extract is fingerprinted and guaranteed to have the same
full-spectrum potency from capsule to capsule without the variation common in
natural herbal therapeutics. This exclusive New Chapter innovation ensures that
the whole intelligence of the herb is consistently delivered.
