In the midst of the fast-paced and stress-prone dynamics of life, maintaining physical and mental health has become increasingly important. This is where innovation comes in, not only to improve health problems but also to prevent them. One of the interesting innovations that emerged from Malang State University students was the creation of "ImmuniTea," a health tea specifically designed to maintain body immunity and mental health. ImmuniTea, an innovative health product that originates from the idea of a student, Ananta Ardyansyah.

The development of this product began during the Covid-19 pandemic. The idea for developing ImmuniTea products began with Ananta's concern about the declining condition of immunity and mental health in society. This inspired Ananta to create a formula for a health tea with a multitude of benefits. The creation of ImmuniTea products is not only based on the need to increase physical immunity, but also on the importance of maintaining mental health such as increased anxiety and changes in people's behavior, especially in difficult times such as the pandemic. ImmuniTea not only provides physical benefits but also realigns emotional balance. The combination of selected natural ingredients such as green tea, turmeric, cinnamon and ginger makes ImmuniTea drinks able to provide maximum benefits for consumers.

This drink, which is rich in antioxidants, is very good for maintaining the body's immunity and relieving stress which can affect mental health. Through the ImmuniTea product, Ananta succeeded in winning the essay competition held by UNS in 2021. Not only that, in the same year Ananta formed a team to bring the ImmuniTea product to an even more prestigious event, at the national level in 2021.
