Founded by rebel Nurse Rene Caisse in 1922, Rene’s Naturals remains true to seeking answers from nature for common health challenges. Makers of the Original Essiac® formula, we are proud to introduce our next generation of immune system support. About this itemEssiac Gold is an organic and wild crafted herbal remedy that helps support the immune system and normalize the body by aiding in the promotion of effective detoxification of the blood, liver, and lymph nodes. Nearly 100 years later, Essiac Gold takes the original blend of Burdock Root Extract, Whole Plant Sheep Sorrel Extract, Slippery Elm Bark Extract, and Indian Rhubarb Root Extract and enhances it by adding AHCCThe AHCC in Essiac Gold has been shown to support immune health, enhance cytokine production, promote macrophage activity, T-cell and NK cell activity and longevityAHCC mushroom extract is composed of several species of medicinal mushrooms. AHCC is unique in that while most mushrooms contain primarily Beta Glucans, AHCC is rich in Alpha Glucans, a type of polysaccharide with very potent immune enhancing effects. Combining AHCC with our traditional Essiac formula makes Essiac Gold an immune support powerhouse Unlike the traditional Essiac herbal tea powder, there is no need to brew as the vital plant nutrients have already been extracted into a powerful herbal capsule that is 4x to 6x more concentrated than the brewed tea. The herbs are macerated, then the vital plant nutrients are extracted at low temperatures to ensure maximum potency and superior absorptionDuring the early 1920’s, nurse Rene Caisse learned of a formula from a Canadian Ojibwa Healer. She later prepared her original herbal formula into a drink called Essiac, which is Nurse Caisse?s name spelled backwards, and she dedicated the remainder of her life to perfecting her powerful formula and caring for patients
