The Fijian society has used Red Mangrove (also known as "Fiji Titi™") for over 150 years as the primary traditional treatment for the common cold and respiratory tract symptoms since first contact with Europeans. Medicinal use of the aerial rhizomes of Rhizophora SPP was "rediscovered" by Dr. Ted Anders, Resina Koroi and their Nature's Nurse® research team through onsite exploration and interviews with village herbalists throughout the Fiji Islands.
They co-founded the Nature's Nurse® companies in Fiji and the US to create the world's first 21st-century Red Mangrove products. Respigardis®, their leading product, has now served tens of thousands of clients in supporting respiratory and immune system function, both short-term and long-term.
In addition, the Fijian society, and others around the world, have traditionally used the extract of Red Mangrove for support of healthy skin. See the research articles reporting the response of skin to Red Mangrove, which is now offered as Skingard™. It is the first skin heath product of its kind in the world! Red Mangrove is now recognized by the International Cosmetics industry as a safe and effective topical ingredient.
The reliable impact of our products is based on the inherent anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, immune boosting, antioxidant, and epithelial tissue-supporting phytochemical constituents in Red Mangrove plants. These phytochemical functions of the compounds in Red Mangrove are extensively reported in peer reviewed journal articles in several countries.
