Sirona Nutrition Elderberry

Elderberry is one of the most effective herbs to use for flu. Studies report the herb shortens the duration of flu symptoms, such as fever, fatigue, headache, sore throat, cough and body aches. Elderberry has been proven to be effective against numerous strains of influenza. The herbs constituents neutralize the activity of the hemagglutinin spikes found on the surface of several viruses, causing the viruses to deactivate so they are unable to infect cells. Elderberry can be used during an active flu, or used as a preventative to avoid getting sick during flu season.

Elderberry is a very concentrated source of anthocyanins, purple pigments that serve as powerful antioxidants. These anthocyanins enhance immune function and protect the body against disease by boosting the production of cytokines (proteins that regulate immune response). Elderberry also contains the flavonoids quercetin and rutin, and is high in vitamins A and C.
