Plants with purpose
Terpenes are compounds produced by all plants, including many that we eat every day. They create the familiar scents and flavors we associate with specific plants and play an important role in their biological functions.
In ways we’re only beginning to understand after thousands of years of documented use, our bodies rely on and interact with plants to sustain health. Researchers are studying dozens of ways that terpenes and other organic compounds from plants can be used to treat a range of diseases, from chronic pain to anxiety, addiction and insomnia.
Below are the plants comprising the primary ingredients used in various Nápreva products.
Elderberry
Elderberries are packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and immune-boosting properties that support overall health. Rich in vitamin C and flavonoids, they help strengthen the immune system, reduce inflammation, and may shorten the duration of colds and flu. Elderberries also promote heart health by supporting healthy blood circulation and reducing oxidative stress. Their natural antiviral and antibacterial properties aid respiratory health, while their high fiber content supports digestion. Whether in syrup, tea, or supplements, elderberries are a powerful, natural way to enhance wellness and immunity year-round.
Terpenes in elderberry plants: α-Pinene, β-Pinene, limonene, β-Caryophyllene, Germacrene D, linalool, citral, humulene
Clove
Recognized for its powerful antiseptic and analgesic qualities, clove plays a crucial role in natural pain relief. Rich in eugenol, it offers notable anti-inflammatory benefits, making it a popular remedy for easing dental pain and soreness in muscles and joints. Its antioxidant properties further support healing, showcasing clove's multifaceted uses in natural healing.

Natural Sweeteners
A very small amount of natural sweetener is added to our products to counteract the very strong taste of some of our ingredients. Always sensitive to the health concerns of our customers, not only are very small amounts used, but all sweeteners are natural. They contain no artificial or hybrid sweeteners that can pose health risks to pets or their owners.

Hemp
NaprevaPLUS products contain a small amount of CBD isolate derived from industrial hemp. Hemp contains less than 0.3% or less THC, the compound in cannabis plants which has psychoactive properties.
The 2018 Farm Bill amendments removed CBD from the Federal list of controlled substances making it fully legal at the federal level and paving the way for legalization by states. As a result, CBD is legal in most states without the need for a medical marijuana license.

Coconut
Coconuts are a powerhouse of nutrition, offering numerous health benefits. Rich in medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), they support heart health, boost metabolism, and provide a quick energy source. Coconut water replenishes electrolytes, aiding hydration and muscle recovery, while coconut meat is packed with fiber for better digestion. Lauric acid in coconuts strengthens the immune system with its antimicrobial properties. Additionally, coconut oil nourishes skin and hair, supports brain function, and may help with weight management and blood sugar control. Whether in oil, water, or raw form, coconuts are a natural way to enhance overall well-being.
