A Brand New Formula Based on Ingredients Trusted for Centuries

Our V-Defence 2 Formula™ is composed of herbal extracts from three plants traditionally used in Traditional Chinese Medicine as antiviral and antibacterial remedies. It is designed to support an innate immune response to viral and microbial infections.*

The ingredients of V-Defence 2 Formula™ are:

• Galla chinensis (Chinese gall, Wu Bei Zi) extract – 250mg
• Artemisia annua (sweet wormwood, Qing Hao) aerial parts extract – 250mg
• Zingiber officinale (Ginger, Gan Jiang) root extract – 100mg

The antiviral properties* of Chinese gall & sweet wormwood have been thoroughly documented in clinical studies [1,2,3,4,5,6].

When creating V-Defence 2 Formula, we once again balanced the ingredients in accordance with TCM principles. Thus the cold, heat-clearing nature of Chinese gall  and Artemisia annua is countered by a warm-natured ginger extract to allow the formula to gently interact with the GI tract.*

V-Defence 2 Formula is created to work as a complementary supplement to our patient & practitioner acclaimed V-Defence Formula™, based on Cistus incanus & Scutellaria baicalensis.

We encourage you to read more about V-Defence 2 Formula and the science behind its ingredients* on its dedicated product page.
