02 · The Curve
What To Expect

You feel it
the first cup.

Immune support isn't a one-cup fix. It's a daily system. The first shift hits before the cup is empty.

First Cup · Immediate

Your body has backup.

The elderberry and echinacea start working within hours. The ginger warmth is immediate. The feeling isn't dramatic, it's the quiet confidence of knowing you just fed your immune system.

Day 5

Sick season hits different.

You notice you're not catching what everyone around you has. Or if you do, the duration is shorter. Echinacea and elderberry are traditional favorites for exactly this.

Week 2

Inflammation quiets down.

The turmeric and ginger are working on chronic low-grade inflammation. the kind you might not notice until it's gone. Joints easier, recovery faster, baseline energy better.

Month 1

Resilient, not reactive.

Astragalus is building deep immune memory. You're not just responding to threats, your system is better equipped for them. The difference between an immune system on alert and one that's actually prepared.

From the Founder
Patrick Kane, Founder of WOLV

"Most immune teas are weak elderberry over weaker chamomile. I wanted the full immune stack. Elderberry and rose hips for antioxidants, echinacea and astragalus for support, turmeric and ginger for inflammation. organic herbs you actually want in your body when the season turns. No fillers. No BS. This is what I keep in my cabinet from October to March."

07 · Questions
Cleared Up

Honest answers.
No fine print.

Is this caffeine free?

Yes, completely. Every herb in Guards Up is naturally caffeine free, so you can drink it any time of day, including right before bed, without touching your sleep.

When should I drink it?

Whenever you want to support your immune function. Daily through the colder months, or lean on it harder when you're run down, traveling, or feeling like you're catching something.

How long does a bag last?

About 30 cups per bag. It's a heavier pouch because it's packed with dense roots like astragalus, ginger, and turmeric, so you're getting a full month of daily support.

How do I steep it?

One teaspoon per 8oz of hot water, steeped 8 to 12 minutes. These are roots and berries, so give them the full time to open up and release everything.

What does it taste like?

Warm and spiced from the ceylon cinnamon, ginger, and turmeric, with a tart berry backbone from elderberry and rose hips. Cozy and grounding.

Can I stack it with other WOLV teas?

Yes. Since it's caffeine free, Guards Up layers into any part of your day and pairs well with any other WOLV blend. Drink it alongside your morning Rise N Grind or as a calm evening cup.
