Black elderberry is a variety of the Sambucus tree that originally came from Mexico and grows to nearly 30 feet with clusters of white flowers. It can be purchased in the form of syrup, gummies, lollipops, lozenges, and capsules.

A study of 184 people found that 3-4 doses of syrup daily reduced flu and cold symptoms by 98% in both severity and duration. Its high level of flavonoid compounds offers antioxidant protection of cells making it advantageous for immune support.

Black elderberry benefits include:

  • High in vitamin C
  • High in fiber
  • High in flavonols
  • High in anthocyanins (twice more that blueberries)
  • Helps fight cancer
  • Helps fight harmful bacteria
  • Supports immune system
