Maqui berry contributes anthocyanins studied for antioxidant properties. Rhodiola and schisandra are traditional botanicals researched for their possible roles in stress response and general wellness. Amla (Indian gooseberry) contains vitamin C and other plant compounds. Haematococcus is a microalgae source of astaxanthin, a carotenoid studied for antioxidant activity. Cacao rounds out the formula with naturally occurring flavonoids.
The supplied product information does not establish the exact quantity of every ingredient. Before ordering, it's worth checking the current Supplement Facts label for exact amounts, probiotic strain designations, and any potential allergens.
