What is Triflora?

Triflora’s main ingredients are rich in antioxidants and include five-leaf ginseng, green tea and chrysanthemum.

Five-leaf ginseng, also known as sweet tea vine, is a vine which grows wild in mountainous areas of Southern China. Research shows that five-leaf ginseng is rich in phytochemicals and antioxidants.
