Blueberry is the dominant flavor in this gut-boosting elixir. Whole, pureed blueberries retain the fiber and complex array of vitamins to nourish cells and fight free radicals. Oregon Grape Root serves a vital role in healing gut damage. I chose this flavor for the nutritional and medicinal possibilities.
Blueberries
- among the most nutrient-dense berries (rich in fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, and manganese)

Oregon Grape Root

- herbs that contain berberine are scientifically proven to protect against bacteria, viruses, and fungi
- very important herb to fix gut health long term

- can kill or suppress the growth of candida and other fungal infections, staphylococcus, streptococcus, and other harmful microbes
