It has excellent antioxidant, antibacterial, antiviral, adaptogenic (improves the body’s ability to adapt to stress) and immune-enhancing properties. It promotes general health and supports the body's natural defense against stress and illness.
Bilberry is rich in antioxidants. The beneficial activity of Bilberry is mainly due to components called anthocyanins, according to the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. Anthocyanins have anti-inflammatory properties and protective effects on blood vessels. The herbal extract also has antioxidant properties, and they scavenge free radicals, harmful substances in the body that can cause cell damage and disease.

Horse Chestnut extract is best known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which may be why it is so often used to relieve sprains, as well as rheumatic, and arthritic aches and pains.

Milk thistle is a herb that’s been used for thousands of years to support liver, kidney, and gall bladder health.1 It contains the flavonoid silymarin, which is thought to be responsible for many of its beneficial effects, including liver protection and antioxidant, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory properties. Milk Thistle is an anti-fibrotic, which means it prevents tissue scarring, and it’s thought to act as a “toxin blockade agent” by inhibiting the binding of toxins to liver cell membrane receptors.
