The Science behind the ingredients

A closer look at what goes into Protect:
Holy Basil / Tulsi (Ocimum tenuiflorum)
Holy Basil / Tulsi (Ocimum tenuiflorum)

Holy basil, or tulsi, is an adaptogenic herb traditionally used to support calm, clarity and resilience during demanding periods. Its aromatic character balances elderberry, olive leaf and warming roots in an alcohol-free daily formula.

Elderberry
Elderberry

Elderberry has a long history in seasonal herbal preparations and has been studied for its naturally occurring anthocyanins and role in seasonal wellbeing. Its rich colour and familiar berry taste make it a natural partner for aromatic herbs in Protect.

Olive Leaf
Olive Leaf

Olive leaf is traditionally used for everyday cardiovascular and seasonal wellbeing, and its polyphenols have been studied in human research. Its fresh, slightly bitter character gives Protect authentic herbal depth alongside elderberry, tulsi and ginger.

Ginger (Zingiber officinale)
Ginger (Zingiber officinale)

Ginger is a warming root traditionally used to support comfortable digestion and circulation. Its lively character also helps a botanical blend feel bright and energising, balancing berries, tea and deeper herbal flavours.

Cinnamon
Cinnamon

Cinnamon is a warming spice traditionally used for digestion and everyday metabolic wellbeing. Its naturally sweet aroma softens earthy mushrooms and roots, making a purposeful botanical blend feel comforting and easy to return to.

Maitake Mushroom
Maitake Mushroom

Maitake is a functional mushroom naturally containing beta-glucans—compounds studied for their interaction with the immune system. We choose a consistent format for Freedom, where its approachable earthy character complements roots, fruits and cacao.
