Gaia Herbs
Overview
This supplement combines several ingredients believed to support immune function. While some ingredients like Echinacea and Andrographis have evidence supporting their use for upper respiratory tract infections, the overall effectiveness of this specific blend is less clear due to the use of proprietary blends and a lack of long term data.

Includes standardized extracts of key ingredients.
Offers a convenient capsule form for easy consumption.
The Bad
High daily dosage frequency and quantity may be inconvenient.
Limited evidence for long-term use and safety.
Proprietary blend makes it difficult to assess individual ingredient efficacy.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking short-term immune support, those experiencing seasonal immune challenges
