Elderberry Tea and Supplements

Elderberry is one of the most popular natural remedies for cold and flu symptoms. It is thought to help fight the symptoms of viral infections and could help to speed up health recovery. Elderberry supplements are especially effective as an SOS therapy at the first sign of a cold or flu. They can help to relieve symptoms and support the immune system for a normal, healthy recovery.

What is Elderberry?

Elderberry is a short tree no more than 10 metres high, with brownish-grey bark and fragrant white flowers. Its fruits are shiny, small berries of a dark purple colour, sometimes almost black. Among many varieties, the black or European elderberry (Sambucus nigra) is the most common. Native to Europe, the black elderberry today grows in North America, Asia, and North Africa and its fruits are used medicinally in many countries around the globe.

The benefits of Elderberry

The medicinal properties of elderberries have been known for centuries, and now elderberry extract is used in many pharmaceuticals. Elderberry is most effective precisely on the first day of the onset of the disease. It has an extraordinarily high level of antioxidants and significantly outperforms other plants in the fight against the duration of colds and flu.

Modern scientists and doctors confirm the healing effect of Elderberry. The envelope of influenza viruses contains a protein called hemagglutinin, and the active substances of Elderberry help to destroy this protein. As a result, influenza viruses lose their ability to invade the cells of the mucous membranes, multiply and cause disease.

In addition, flavonoids found in elderberry flowers and fruits have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Elderberry supplements can help to reduce pain, calm the nervous system, normalise the functioning of the gut, and remove excess fluid from the body.

Elderberry immune support supplements

Elderberry acts as an immunomodulator: it can calm an overactive immune system or activate an overly suppressed one. In case of colds or viral diseases, Elderberry could reduce fever, headache, muscle pain, and nasal congestion. It is also an excellent prophylactic, supporting the immune system and protecting against influenza A and B viruses, which cause annual seasonal epidemics. Consider taking an Elderberry in complex with Zinc, vitamin D and vitamin C for the most effective protection against seasonal viral infections and to help boost your immune system.

How to take an Elderberry supplement

Elderberry supplements are available in the form of syrup, tablets, lozenges and effervescent tablets. There are special supplements for children and adults. Elderberry syrup has a pleasant tart taste, which is why it makes for an excellent addition to hot or cold drinks as an everyday immune support tonic.

Excessive consumption of elderberry supplements can lead to negative side effects, so please consult your health specialist for dosage details. You can also find more helpful health advice about immune-boosting supplements on our blog.
