Elderberry Extract Powder 13%

Elderberry Extract Powder 13% is a purple powder derived from the fruit of the elderberry tree and contains no less than 13% anthocyanins. Anthocyanins are natural pigments responsible for the color of fruits, vegetables and other plants. According to recent research, anthocyanins act as powerful antioxidants that counteract the damaging effects of oxidation in human tissue. This plant is traditionally used as a medicinal plant by many native peoples and herbalists alike. Stembark, leaves, flowers, fruits, and root extracts are used to treat bronchitis, cough, upper respiratory cold infections, fever. In a placebo-controlled, double-blind study, black elderberry (Sambucus nigra) was shown to be effective for treating Influenza B. People using the elderberry extract recovered much faster than those only on a placebo. The study was published in the Journal of Alternative Complementary Medicine.
