Did you know that many people count on botanical and fish oils for health benefits? For those who do not exactly know what botanical and fish oils are; fish oil is extracted from the tissue of oily fish. And botanical, another word for the plant, oils are extracted from seed, root, stem, flower, and leaves. Certain vitamins, botanical and fish oils have been researched and shown to provide optimal health benefits. Here we examine some of our favorites as well as why they were chosen for the Mighty Might formulation to support kids, particularly those with autoimmune and autism disorders.  

  1. Omega Fish Oils  

Fish oil contains omega-3 fatty acids that can reduce inflammation in the body. In a study, it was found that its supplements enhanced the blood levels of some anti-inflammatory molecules. Apart from this, some studies show that it can even aid in fighting numerous autoimmune diseases. Also, the risk of getting Crohn’s, type 1 diabetes, psoriasis, etc, decreases, when it is taken during the first year of life.

It was noted that pregnant and lactating women who consumed enough omega-3 acids had kids with higher IQ. That means it may decrease the risk of autism, ADHD, behavioral problems and cerebral palsy. Health benefits of fish oil are aplenty, so you can consume them by consulting your health professional.

  1. Oregano Oil

Oregano oil contains major compound carvacrol. According to research, carvacrol is a natural biocide in inhibiting and reducing staphylococci and salmonellae biofilms. Oregano oil is a unique powerful natural extract, which many people use to boost their immune system, fight free radical damage, improve digestion, Candida, fungus, bacteria,  and work as a wonderful general health tonic. This oil can also help people to lose weight by reducing the unwanted fat from the body. So, taking oregano supplements can assist people to make most of its antibacterial and added benefits.

  1. Cinnamon Oil

Cinnamon can aid in eliminating bacterial and viral infections. From some studies, it was noted that cinnamon oil has antimicrobial properties. Cinnamon is also used to soothe respiratory illnesses such as colds, sinusitis, and sore throats, as well as it helps to relieve muscular aches and pains. It has also been used for weight loss, and it keeps blood sugar levels balanced, prevents sugar cravings, mood swings and fatigue. In addition to fighting bacterial and viral infections, it is also known to fight parasites plus relieve depression and anxiety.  Also, cinnamon works when it comes to gut health. Cinnamon contains calcium and fiber that are the essential components for the functioning of the colon. The colon pulls out waste. This supports detoxification, good digestive health and it also helps in preventing issues like constipation and diarrhea.

  1. Parsley

A widely used vegetal species in various nations' medicine is parsley (Petroselinum crispum).  Parsley is a native herb of the central Mediterranean region (southern Italy, Algeria and Tunisia), which is in the Apiaceae family, and is a species of Petroselinum.

It is believed that parsley is one of the world's seven most potent disease-fighting spices used to treat allergy, autoimmune and chronic inflammatory disorders.  Parsley is a herb that is rich in many nutrients such as vitamins A, C, K, potassium, magnesium and calcium. Vitamin A in parsley helps in improving eye health, skin conditions, and immunity.  Vitamin C in it is known to enhance the immune system and heart health.

Research shows that apigenin — an antioxidant in parsley — regulates immune function by reducing inflammation and preventing cellular damage.

Parsley extract contains myristicin and apiol, which have antibacterial effects.  Further, parsley juice supports the detoxification processes of the liver and kidneys.


  1. Boswellin Forte (Frankincense)

Boswellin forte, also known as Indian Frankincense is a powder extracted from the gum resin produced by the Boswellia serrata. In our body, there are molecules called leukotrienes that are known to cause inflammation. According to research, boswellic acid can help in keeping the formation of leukotrienes at bay. As it reduces inflammation, it can be helpful in the treatment of asthma, osteoarthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, and rheumatoid arthritis.

  1. Zinc

From research published in PLOS Pathogens, it was noted that mice whose immune system was zinc deficient succumbed to infection up to 3 times faster. That means zinc can help in killing the bacteria. Also, in a study by Daren Knoell (a professor at Ohio State University), he states that zinc helps in balancing the response of the immune system by fighting infections.  

  1. Olive Leaf Extract

It is a kind of miracle extract that comes from the leaves of the olive tree.
