Two pouches, two different jobs: a golden turmeric blend and zinc with vitamin D and echinacea. Here's what each one actually brings.
Written by Vita Globe Editorial Team | Reviewed against peer-reviewed research and NIH guidance
What does each pouch in the Golden Defense To-Go Duo do?
Turmeric has a long history of traditional use, with mixed research behind it.[1] Zinc supports normal immune function,[2] and the zinc pouch also includes vitamin D[3] and echinacea, an herb with mixed research for colds.[4]
Caveat: Neither pouch prevents illness. Count zinc from every supplement you take and stay under the 40mg adult upper limit.[2]

Why these two are bundled together
Both come in 14-count travel pouches, so this duo is easy to keep in a bag or glovebox. It pairs our Turmeric, Ginger & Black Pepper pouch with our Zinc pouch for less than buying both.
What turmeric actually does
Turmeric has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. Research on turmeric supplements is mixed, and many studies are small.[1] The pouch is a lighter botanical blend; our 60-count bottle has more turmeric per serving. Turmeric may interact with some medications, including blood thinners.[1]
What zinc, vitamin D and echinacea actually do
Zinc and vitamin D both support normal immune function.[2][3] Echinacea has been studied for colds with mixed results.[4] More zinc isn't better: long-term high intake can lower copper levels.[2]
OUR OPTION
The Golden Defense To-Go Duo includes one Turmeric pouch and one Zinc pouch.
STAY CONSISTENT
Supplements only help if you actually take them. Our 7-Day Pill Organizer keeps a week of gummies sorted so it's harder to skip a day. See the full Vita Globe Merch line →
