Tocos promotes healthy skin and connective tissue .

Reishi helps with immune function, stress release and protects the body against environments factors.

Nutmeg has potassium which is good for heart rate and blood pressure control as well as zinc and iron.

Cardamom helps with digestion, detoxification, and depression.

Clove is wonderful for oral health, cold and flu, blood pressure and is an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent.

Black pepper helps prevent asthma, improves digestion and skin care and cognitive ability, and has an antibacterial quality.
