How it Works
OElderberry is a potent health tonic with a rich content of fiber, vitamin C, vitamin B6, magnesium, potassium, folate, calcium, and iron. It also contains powerful antioxidant compounds like carotenoids, flavonoids, proanthocyanidins, anthocyanins, and phenolic acids. A group of polyphenols called anthocyanins are responsible for elderberry's vibrant color and have potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and immune-stimulating properties.
Elderberry extract is a favorite natural remedy for colds and flu, making it a must-have during the winter months and when traveling. Research suggests that flavonoid compounds in elderberry extract reduce infections by binding them to influenza viruses, preventing them from invading cells and replicating. Elderberry extract's antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties also make it fantastic for calming irritating allergies and painful sinusitis.
Consuming the powerful antioxidant compounds found in elderberry extract may slow down the effects of aging on your skin, brain, and eyes. These antioxidants scavenge unstable free radicals encountered daily from cellular metabolism, UV exposure, pollution, stress, intense exercise, illness, smoking, and poor diet. They help to reduce the risk of cell damage, chronic inflammation, and premature signs of aging.
Elderberry is also a great source of fiber necessary to support digestive function and promote healthy elimination. A 2010 study on people with chronic constipation found drinking herbal tea that included elderberry for 5 days resulted in improved bowel function.
Additionally, certain nutrients found in elderberry extract – like vitamin C, zinc, and carotenoids – play a key role in promoting youthful, glowing skin.
