Elixer Vita is a powerful immune-supporting blend that combines the classic benefits of echinacea and goldenseal with the added potency of pau d’arco and cayenne. This expertly formulated elixir is designed to activate and strengthen the immune system, enhancing both molecular and bioenergetic immune responses. Echinacea and goldenseal have long been used to promote immune resilience, helping the body maintain a balanced and vigilant defense against pathogens.

Key Features
- Echinacea angustifolia, also known as the narrow-leaf coneflower, has long been revered in Indigenous American herbal traditions for its powerful immune-supporting properties. Research shows that echinacea enhances immune function by increasing the production of white blood cells, which help the body fight infections. It also has pain-relieving, antimicrobial, and antioxidant effects, while activating macrophages—immune cells responsible for waste removal. Studies have demonstrated that echinacea can reduce the severity and duration of colds and flu, while also acting as a natural anti-infective and immune modulator.
- Goldenseal, scientifically known as Hydrastis canadensis, is a renowned herbal remedy with a history dating back over 3,000 years in traditional Chinese medicine. It contains berberine, a potent compound known for its antimicrobial effects and ability to support the immune system. Research from the University of Texas-Houston Medical School highlights goldenseal’s role as a balanced immune stimulant, helping to reduce pro-inflammatory cytokines and alleviate infection symptoms. It is particularly beneficial for gut health, with studies showing its effectiveness in addressing small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) and ulcerative colitis. Goldenseal is often paired with Echinacea purpurea to create a synergistic formula for enhanced immune support.
- Pau d’arco is a hardwood tree native to the Brazilian rainforest, known for its remarkable resistance to fungi. Scientific research has identified powerful antifungal compounds in pau d’arco, including naphthoquinones, anthraquinones, and flavonoids. A Colombian research review on the Tabebuia species (pau d’arco) confirms its effectiveness against Candida albicans, as well as pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus and Helicobacter pylori. Studies also highlight its anti-inflammatory, antiparasitic, and even anti-tumor properties, making it a versatile botanical for immune and microbial balance.
- Burdock root, scientifically known as Arctium lappa, is a powerhouse of antioxidants, including phenolic acids, quercetin, and luteolin. Traditionally used for joint health and purification, burdock has been shown to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress. A 2016 study published in the International Journal of Rheumatic Diseases reported that burdock improves inflammatory markers in individuals with knee osteoarthritis, confirming its anti-inflammatory benefits. Additionally, burdock supports liver detoxification, promotes a balanced gut microbiome, and exhibits antimicrobial properties, further reinforcing its role in overall wellness.
- Cayenne pepper, or Capsicum annuum, is well known in herbal medicine for its ability to enhance the potency of other herbs by improving their absorption and effectiveness. Beyond its role as a synergistic activator, research shows that cayenne has significant antifungal properties, inhibiting the growth of plant fungi such as Phomopsis and Colletotrichum. It also exhibits strong antibacterial effects. Herbal traditions have long recognized cayenne for its ability to improve blood circulation and support lymphatic flow, making it a valuable addition to immune and detoxification protocols.
