With the onset of flu season in the U.S., and continuing concerns about Covid-19, there’s no better time to consider options for the best immune defense. While some rely on annual flu vaccines, they aren’t a completely reliable solution. And, while there’s no shortage of herbal and natural products that claim to “boost-immunity,” few are tested and proven to protect like green tea.
