Description of Formula
HISTORY
Primarily found in Europe and North America, black elderberries have long been used in traditional cultures to support immune function. Elderberries have also traditionally been used as a food, popular even today for making wine and as a flavoring agent*
BLACK ELDERBERRY AND THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
Black elderberries encourage a healthy immune reaction against undesired organisms that induce flu-like symptoms. Black elderberry's antioxidant and immune-enhancing properties may specifically have a beneficial effect on the body's normal response to influenza viruses A and B.*
A number of research studies have examined the constituents of black elderberries, with one group of active compounds, the flavonoids, receiving considerable attention. Of particular interest are the anthocyanin flavonoids that have been shown to enhance immune system function and offer significant antioxidant protection. *
Fittingly, black elderberry's antioxidant properties support immune system function by advancing the body's natural resistance and adaptation to stressful influences that make one more susceptible to suffering from influenza. In addition to supporting normal defense systems against select viruses, the anthocyanins and other flavonoids found in black elderberries function to protect the body from the damaging effects of free radicals. Collectively, the actions of these berries serve to promote optimal immune system function.*
