Influenza, Colds, High Cholesterol, Antioxidant Protection, Eye Health
Elderberry is one of the most effective herbs to use for flu. Studies report the herb shortens the duration of flu symptoms, such as fever, fatigue, headache, sore throat, cough and body aches. Elderberry has proven to be effective against numerous strains of influenza.
Elderberry offers cardiovascular protection by reducing oxidation of LDL cholesterol. Oxidation of LDL cholesterol is a contributing factor of cardiovascular disease, especially heart attacks and strokes.
Elderberry can help those with poor night vision by regenerating rhodopsin (a pigment of the retina that is responsible for both the formation of the photoreceptor cells and the perceptions of light) and enabling the eye to adjust to darkness.
