What is black elderberry?

Black elderberry is a woody plant known since ancient times for its medicinal properties and benefits for human health.

The most familiar variety found, and widely used as a medicinal plant, is low black elder. Nowadays, it is one of the most commonly used types of elderberry in the treatment of colds, colds, bacterial infections, as well as an overall tonic for the body.

Active compounds and action of elderberry

The properties of black elder are due to its rich chemical composition.

It has a high content of various substances:

• Vitamin C
• Fibers
• Anthocyanins
• Proanthocyanins
• Bioflavonoids
• Terpenes
• Phytophenols
• Quercetin
• Kaempferol
• Many organic acids

High content of Vitamin C

Taking two handfuls of black elderberries (elder berries) provides the daily dose of organic vitamin C needed by the body.

The daily dose of vitamin C is of particular importance:

• To maintain a healthy and effective immunity, due to its pronounced antioxidant and cell-preserving effect.
• To strengthen the walls of the blood vessels, making them more elastic and less "brittle", thus protecting against internal bleeding.
• As an important cofactor in the synthesis of healthy collagen and elastin, which are important for the skin and the musculoskeletal system.

Black elderberry is also a good source of iron, which, despite its vegetable origin, has good absorption, as it is combined with vitamin C.

Action of the active ingredients

Often in the practice of folk and modern medicine, the intake of black elder is used for immunity

The combination of biologically active compounds has a pronounced immunostimulating and immunomodulating effect, a strong antioxidant and general strengthening effect.

In addition, the phytochemicals in the composition of black elderberry have an affinity for the organs of the digestive system, as well as a beneficial effect on the heart and blood vessels.

Depending on the climate and environmental conditions, the concentration of the active components in the black elderberry extract may vary. Useful substances are contained in the fruits and flowers of the plant, and they are considered harmless.

Elder leaves and the bark of its stem have the same biochemical profile, but due to the high content of organic cyanide, they are poisonous to the human body and their intake leads to vomiting, diarrhea and other signs of intoxication.

Taking an adequate amount of raw elderberry to achieve the required effects is difficult and irrational.

To make it easier to take a hit of concentrated beneficial antioxidants, antioxidant phytosterols, polyphenols, organic acids and anthocyanins, we've developed a quality black elderberry extract.

In this way, you will easily and comfortably provide your body with the necessary substances for greater strength and efficiency of the immune system and coping with infectious and viral diseases.

Benefits of black elderberry for the body

Keeps the skin supple and alive

The high content of micro and macro elements, antioxidants and polyphenols has a pronounced beneficial effect on the nourishment and hydration of the skin.

The intake of concentrated black elderberry extract protects the skin from damage from the influence of UV rays, as well as from free radicals, thus keeping it vibrant and young for a longer time.

Beneficial action in viral diseases

Taking a concentrated extract or tincture of elderberry has been shown to reduce the duration of symptoms of colds and flu.

Varieties of quercetin, which is found in the elderberry plant, have been shown to bind to the influenza virus, thereby inhibiting its ability to attach to target cells.

Timely administration up to 24 hours after the onset of the flu disease reduces both its duration and the severity of symptoms and possible complications.

Beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system

The extract of flowers and grains of elderberry has a powerful anti-inflammatory effect, thus protecting the vessel walls from inflammation caused by free radicals.

Radicals lead to the oxidation of polyunsaturated lipids in cell membranes, and create a prerequisite for the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, as well as for damage to the vascular wall.

The phytonutrients and the high content of soluble and partially soluble help our body to "capture" and eliminate excess cholesterol, thereby preventing the development of atherosclerosis and the formation of atherosclerotic plaques on the vessel walls.

Another way in which the intake of a dietary supplement or elderberry syrup can have a beneficial effect on the work of the heart and more specifically on blood pressure is by regulating the metabolism of uric acid, which at high levels can lead to hypertensive disease.

The strong elderberry concentrate helps the body eliminate uric acid from the blood more effectively, thus facilitating the work of the kidneys.

Action on the digestive tract

One of the big problems of modern man is insufficient nutrition and harmful eating habits, which make our stomach and intestines our weak point.

The Helicobacter pylori bacterium cleverly takes advantage of this by “nesting” in the stomach lining, thus causing inflammation and ulcer disease.

Quercetin found in sambucus elderflower extract has been shown to eliminate this pathogenic bacteria.

Last but not least, the beneficial effect of black elder on the health of the intestinal tract should be noted. This is due to the high fiber content, which helps the motility of intestinal peristalsis.

The rapid elimination of the waste products of the digestive system reduces the risk of the development of malignant diseases of the intestines, and also accelerates the metabolism and helps to regulate body weight.

The anthocyanins contained in black elderberry have low bioavailability, but due to their direct contact with the epithelium of the esophagus, stomach and intestines, it has been proven that they have a protective effect against the development of cancer.

One of the mechanisms for this is the direct mechanical and biochemical removal of toxic waste products from bacterial fermentation and reduction of contact time with the intestinal epithelium.

Strong antioxidant effect

Elderberry extract or syrup is extremely rich in the phytochemicals rutin and quercetin, as well as the polyphenols protocatechinic acid and chlorogenic acid.

These compounds have a proven antioxidant effect, and by their nature, they protect cells from the oxidative stress of free radicals.

This, in turn, slows down cellular aging processes and indirectly contributes to the overall positive effect of elderberry on the health of the cardiovascular system and respiratory tract.

The high content of polyphenols and organic acids in the elderberry herb can help detoxify the liver and improve its function. The use of the extract is particularly suitable after taking large amounts of medicinal preparations, hepatitis and poisoning.

It may have a beneficial effect on type 2 diabetes

Black elderberry extract is rich in the antioxidant ursolic acid, which in clinical studies has shown beneficial effects in controlling blood sugar and regulating body fat deposition. This makes elderberry a good tool for the prevention and control of diabetes and obesity.

In general, flavonoids have been shown to regulate blood sugar levels.

This phenomenon is achieved by several mechanisms:

• Regulation of glucose receptor sensitivity to insulin
• Directly supporting the process of glucose transport in the cell by imitating the action of insulin
• Stimulation of insulin synthesis by the pancreas.

Elderberry health risks and side effects

The intake of elder leaves and stems is toxic to the human body, their consumption leads to unpleasant side reactions.

An interesting fact is that if the fruits are not properly ripened, the cyanide content in them may turn out to be higher than the body can tolerate.

Therefore, it is good to heat treat the fruit when consuming it. This process neutralizes harmful substances, but also reduces the concentration of useful ones.

The solution is to carefully select only ripe fruit, and for your convenience, we have extracted and concentrated the beneficial phytochemicals in extract form.

In this way, we have minimized the risk of side effects and ensured the intake of adequate amounts of the active ingredients, in an easy and convenient tablet form.

What are the benefits of the Black Elderberry supplement?

A healthy immune system and resistance to pathogens are especially important these days, when employment does not allow us to be away from our workplace for a long period of time.

Taking the extract from the medicinal plant is another effective way to prevent cardiovascular diseases, which are characteristic of modern man.

Black elderberry will make you more productive and resilient, increase your tone, concentration and overall health.
