Elderberry Plus Extract

Elderberries boast high levels of flavonoids, particularly anthocyanins, responsible for their deep purple hue. These potent antioxidants actively fortify the immune system. Dr. Gerhard Rechkemmer, President of Germany’s Federal Research Institute for Nutrition and Food, discovered that elderberry anthocyanins stimulate cytokine production, vital proteins acting as immune system messengers. Cytokines, akin to hormones, orchestrate immune responses, toggling between inflammation and anti-inflammation as needed, released by immune cells into the bloodstream or local tissues during a response to disease.

Additionally, elderberries are believed to contain potent antiviral compounds that may deactivate viruses. Viruses, unable to multiply independently, infiltrate healthy cells aided by "haemagglutinin spikes" and enzymes to breach cell walls. Elderberries' rich bioflavonoids seem to obstruct these enzymes, deactivating viruses and impeding their ability to penetrate and replicate within cells.

Similarly, Elderflowers brim with bio-flavonoids that aid immune enhancement and have demonstrated effectiveness against common pathogens according to research.
