Daily BioActive Guarantee
- Enzymatically-active, unheated certified organic manuka honey.
- Natural vitamin C from specially grown and processed certified organic acerola cherries. Each daily dose of Seasonal ImmunityTM provides 64 mg (107% DV) of vitamin C, which is the same amount found in almost 3 cups of raw cabbage.
- Polysaccharide-rich compounds from treasured certified organic turkey tails mushroom mycelium.
- Naturally-occurring active constituents from freeze-dried, certified organic nettle leaf.
Active, Unheated Manuka Honey
At Futurebiotics, our rare manuka honey comes from New Zealand where beekeepers set up their hives in the middle of indigenous manuka groves and where there are no paved roads in order to reduce environmental contamination. The bees gather nectar from the flowers of the manuka bush, which blooms just six weeks of the year, instilling in the honey the unique characteristics of the plant, which includes an additional antibacterial manuka factor not found in any other honey. By definition, organic honey may not be pasteurized or heated to temperatures higher than normal hive temperatures, so our certified organic manuka honey is processed utilizing an exclusive freeze-drying technology that preserves the honey's enzymatic activity.
- Manuka Honey - Clinically tested to support antibacterial activity.*
- Natural Vitamin C - Nature's antioxidant and immunostimulant.*
- Turkey Tails Mushroom - Clinically studied mushroom mycelia supports immune-enhancing activities.*
Seasonal ImmunityTM is formulated to nutritionally support healthy seasonal immune function* using clinically-studied Manuka honey, Vitamin C from Acerola berries, Turkey Tails Mushroom mycelia and Nettle.

Honey has been used throughout history for its beneficial properties. Manuka trees grow only in New Zealand and of all the manuka honey produced there, only a very small percentage is shown to contain the active manuka factor responsible for this honey's antibacterial activity. Seasonal ImmunityTM contains manuka honey that is both certified organic plus tested and verified to possess and provide the same antiseptic properties as a 15% phenol solution.
Acerola extract is produced from cherries grown near the rainforest in Brazil on certified organic small-plot orchards, handpicked at the optimum time when the color reveals their peak vitamin C content and stored at temperatures just above freezing to preserve their vital nutrients. In a proprietary process, the acerola cherries are gently concentrated in a cold-liquid extraction and then dried at low temperatures to protect the fragile heat and oxygen-sensitive vitamin C. Vitamin C is a natural antioxidant, acts as an immunostimulant, and may play a role in supporting healthy seasonal immune function.*
Medicinal mushrooms have been treasured for thousands of years. Research reveals turkey tails mushroom naturally contains enzymes, polysaccharides and protein-bound polysaccharides, including beta-D-glucans, which help support immune-enhancing activities.* Seasonal ImmunityTM includes certified organic turkey tails mushroom mycelia grown on a proprietary, organic substrate and processed in a vacuum at low temperatures to protect the beneficial, immunoprotective enzymes. And, since the mycelia contain the greatest quantity of polysaccharide compounds, only this portion of the mushroom is used.
Preserving an herb's active constituents is key to maintaining its beneficial properties. Seasonal ImmunityTM contains certified organic freeze-dried nettle leaf, which has been historically used to help provide relief from seasonal symptoms.* Freeze-drying an herb consists of removing the ice crystals (water) from the herb, in a vacuum, after it is flash-frozen. This avoids the heat and/or evaporation that can trigger different reactions and destroy the therapeutic components in the herb.
