Sambucol Extra Defense strengthens your natural defenses with a concentrated cocktail of black elderberry, vitamins (B6, C, D), minerals (zinc, selenium, copper) and folic acid.
Black elderberries are extremely rich in flavonoids which boost the immune system. Flavonoids are very powerful natural anti-oxidants that protect cells from possible damage caused by free radicals.
Some flavonoids, anthocyanins are found mainly in the pigments of blue or dark purple fruits like black elderberries. They are the ones who have amazing properties for strengthening the immune system. The original manufacturing method of Sambucol reinforces the natural power of these anthocyanins, allowing to obtain a beneficial food supplement for the whole family.
Researchers have found evidence of the cultivation of black elderberries by prehistoric people, and there are recipes for remedies made from black elderberries in the records of Ancient Egypt. Historians, however, trace the medical use of black elderberries to Hippocrates, the ancient Greek nicknamed "the father of medicine" who describes this plant as his "medicine chest" for the large number of diseases he seems to heal.
Elderberries have been used throughout the centuries to cure colds, flu-like conditions, fever, burns and over 70 other ailments, from toothache to plague. In the 17th century, John Evelyn, a British researcher, said " if the medical properties of its leaves, bark and berries were fully known, I cannot say what our compatriot might suffer, for which he would not go. to seek (in black elderberries) a remedy for his illnesses or injuries ”.
