Description
Elderberry contains several compounds that help support healthy immune function. These active compounds help defend against viruses by affecting their ability to infect the body’s cells and replicate. Certain proteins at the surface of viruses have the ability to breakdown the body’s cell membranes and infect the cell. By neutralizing these proteins the active compounds in elderberry help protect the cells from infection. Elderberry is also rich in anthocyanins, phytochemicals with well documented antioxidant properties. In addition, the anthocyanins in elderberry help support cytokine production. Cytokines are essential for regulating immune function.*

. Elderberry contains anthocyanins, a class of phytochemicals that support immune function by boosting the production of cytokines (proteins that regulate immune response), including tumor necrosis factor and interleukins.*
. Stress plays a significant role in reducing immune function. Elderberry extract helps reduce overall stress levels and significantly shortens recovery time from physical exertion. By reducing stress and its related effects, elderberry extract
helps maintain a strong immune system.*
