What people eat and drink affects everything from how much energy they have to how well they can fight off bacterial and viral infections. Unfortunately, not everyone can afford to buy only organic food and there are some environmental contaminants, such as air pollution, that just can't be avoided. The best way for consumers to minimize the effects of food, water, and air-borne toxins is to follow a whole-body wellness program designed to boost immunity and support overall health.

FirstFitness Nutrition offers a perfect solution. The company's Zavita Whole Body Wellness liquid herbal supplement is rich in antioxidants and minerals. It features seven powerful botanical agents derived from plants indigenous to the Amazon Rainforest that have been used by local peoples for centuries.

Benefits of Cat's Claw

Cat's Claw, derived from the tropical vine Uncaria tomentose, has been used by indigenous peoples in South America to combat conditions like inflammation, infections, and even cancer for centuries. More recently, Western medicine has been providing support for at least some of the presumptive benefits of Cat's Claw. Studies have shown that it may support healthy immunity and relieve arthritis symptoms.

Benefits of Catuaba

Catuaba, derived from the bark of the rainforest plant Erythroxylum Catuaba, is a well-known herb now believed to enhance mood, support brain health, and even neutralize gram-positive fungi and bacteria. Historically, it has been used in indigenous medicine as a libido enhancer, as well, but Western medical researchers have yet to investigate this claim.

Benefits of Cha de Bugre

Cha de Bugre is a tree found in the tropics that produces a red fruit commonly used as a coffee substitute. It is commonly used in Brazil to support healthy weight loss, blood circulation, heart function, and more.

Benefits of Chuchuhuasi

Benefits of Iporuru

Iporuru is the common name for the plant Alchornea castaneifolia. In Peru, herbalists use the bark, leaves, and roots of this plant to create traditional medicines intended to address conditions like joint and muscle pain, headaches, toothaches, and painful menstruation.

Benefits of Samambaia

Samambaia, a fern in the Polypody family, contains a variety of flavonoids, alkaloids, and lipids celebrated for their therapeutic activity in areas where the plant is common. Western medicine has focused on the plant's potential as a treatment for psoriasis, but more recent studies have also investigated the benefits of leaf and root extracts in supporting brain health, skin health, and respiratory health.

Benefits of Tayuya

Tayuya, from the Cayaponia tayuya vine, has traditionally been employed as a blood cleanser and general tonic.
