Substances in elderberry inhibit viruses ability to infect cells. This herbal extract has also been demonstrated to reduce the duration and severity of influenza infection symptoms. Elderberry is taken as a viral preventative, but should be discontinued if you develop symptoms like fever or an ongoing cough. This is because scientists are concerned it may increase cytokine production. If it does then this action would only be problematic at later stages of infection. To be extra safe only take elderberry preventatively.

Rewarded Review

This natural taste is so delicious. I feel that I'm getting healthy. Not only drink with hot water, but also eat with foods and protein powder, etc. The quality is very rich. Ingredients; Vitamin C, Zinc, and Black Elderberry are wonderful. I love this product! I'll order it again!!

This is my number one go to remedy... If after several intakes, I would then go to over the counter meds... But that would be if I had to. Over the years, I have only had to once... That's a pretty good statistic for me... I feel strongly that we should not put anything into our bodies that would otherwise have "other" harmful consequences... This version of sambucus has been the safest for me.
