Sambucol provides a natural mode of action, via 3 simultaneous ways. The key active ingredients in Sambucol are Black Elderberries, Vitamin C and Zinc. Studies have shown that Black Elderberries are very rich in the phytochemicals known as flavonoids. Elderberries also contain <\/span>anthocyanins, <\/span>a class of flavonoids that act as powerful antioxidants, to maintain the immune system and protect the body\u2019s cells.<\/span> <\/span>Among all fruits, Elderberries are one of the most concentrated sources of <\/span>anthocyanins<\/span>.<\/span>They are responsible for the purple pigmentation of Black Elderberries! Research has shown that the anthocyanins in Black Elderberries can boost the production of cytokines*, the proteins that act as messengers within the immune system, and thereby serve to enhance the body\u2019s immune response.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, which means it cannot be stored in the body and we must take it from dietary sources. It is an antioxidant, which can help to neutralize free radicals in the body and contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative stress. Vitamin C also contributes to the normal function of the immune system, the metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.<\/p>\n

Zinc is a mineral important to the body in many ways, including contributing to the maintenance of the normal function of the immune system. It also contributes to the protection of cells in the body from oxidative stress.<\/p>\n

Elderberry refers to several varieties of the Sambucus tree, which has clusters of white flowers and black or blue-black berries that are packed with phytonutrients. The most common variety is Sambucus nigra, also known as European Elderberry or Black Elderberry. <\/p>


<\/span><\/p>

Details of the uses of Elderberry have been recorded since ancient times. Hippocrates (460-370 BC), known as \u2018The father of Medicine\u2019, even referred to Elderberry as \u201cnature\u2019s medicine chest\u201d. The berries have long been used for making preserves, wines, winter cordials and for adding flavour and colour to other wines. These uses are based on the Elderberry\u2019s antioxidant properties. More recently, Elderberries have been used as dietary supplements.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Dr<\/span>. <\/span>Madeleine Mumcuoglu, an <\/span>international virologist,<\/span> <\/span>brought the health-giving properties of the Black Elderberry into the modern pharmacy and health food stores. Sambucol is the product of over 20 years of scientific research, and the original Black Elderberry formulation used in <\/span>published scientific journals<\/a>.<\/span> It is the most extensively researched Black Elderberry product in the world.<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Not all Black Elderberry extracts are the same. Sambucol is the pioneer formulation, introduced more than 20 years ago by a leading virologist. It uses the same proprietary, naturally balanced Elderberry juice formulation used in the published scientific studies. This distinct method of manufacturing preserves and maximises the naturally occurring health benefits of the berries to guarantee consistent, immune supporting properties in every serving.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
