Elderberry
Elderberry capsules are a popular dietary supplement due to the potential health benefits associated with elderberries (typically Sambucus nigra). Here are the key benefits:
1. Boosts Immune Health

• They may help reduce the duration and severity of colds, flu, and other viral infections.
2. Rich in Nutrients
• High in vitamin C, dietary fiber, and phenolic acids, which contribute to overall health.
• Contains anthocyanins, which have anti-inflammatory and immune-modulating properties.
3. Supports Respiratory Health
• Traditionally used to relieve symptoms like congestion, sore throat, and coughing.
• May help reduce inflammation in the respiratory system.
4. Antioxidant Properties
• Helps combat oxidative stress, which can reduce the risk of chronic diseases and promote overall wellness.
5. May Support Heart Health
• Elderberries may help reduce bad cholesterol (LDL), improve blood sugar levels, and reduce blood pressure, promoting cardiovascular health.
6. Anti-Inflammatory Benefits
• Elderberry’s anti-inflammatory compounds can reduce symptoms of inflammation-related conditions, like joint pain or skin irritations.
7. Gut Health Support
• Contains natural fibers that can promote digestive health and a healthy gut microbiome.
Precautions:
