The phytonutrients in plants are very beneficial. Especially when it comes to helping your body’s natural detoxification systems and boosting your immune system. Here’s how each of the ingredients in this Immunity Shot nourishes, fuels and aids your body:

Grapefruit: Rich in Vitamin C and Vitamin A, two powerful vitamins that benefit immunity.
Lemon: A good source of Vitamin C, providing antiviral and antibacterial properties.
