INFLUENZA VIRUS FLU<\/strong><\/p>\n Elderberry has been proven effective against eight different influenza viruses. The study indicated that it may provide protection against a wide range of flu viruses, solving the problem of the \u201cmutating flu\u201d, because most strains of the virus use the same enzyme mechanism to penetrate cells.<\/p>\n DIGESTIVE HEALTH<\/strong><\/p>\n Elderberries are packed with dietary fibre that can help eliminate constipation, reduce excess gas, and generally increase the health of your gastrointestinal system. Fibre can also help to increase the nutrient uptake efficiency in your gut so you get more out of your food!<\/p>\n DIABETES<\/strong><\/p>\n Some of the active antioxidant ingredients in elderberries work directly on the pancreas to regulate insulin and glucose levels, either providing stability for people who suffer from diabetes or helping non-diabetics to avoid developing this terrible condition.<\/p>\n BOOSTS IMMUNITY<\/strong><\/p>\n Elderberries are a rich source of vitamins A and C, which are crucial in helping the body maintain optimal health. Plus, the bioflavonoids in elderberry syrup boost the body’s immune system by increasing antioxidant levels and viruses that damage cell walls. A daily dose (1 tablespoon every morning) can assist you in preventing both acute and chronic disease.<\/p>\n WEIGHT LOSS<\/strong><\/p>\n Elderberries are great weight loss aids! The fibre in elderberry keeps you feeling full, the low calorie count doesn\u2019t affect your intake too much, but you also get dozens of other health benefits as well!<\/p>\n PREVENTS CANCER<\/strong><\/p>\n One of the elderberry uses is its ability to combat cancer. Some of the physiological reactions in the body leave free radicals as the by-products. These free radicals initiate chain reactions that cause cell division, leading to formation of tumours, which later become cancerous. The high content of antioxidants in elderberry helps prevent the formation of cancerous cells, thereby inhibiting the onset of cancer.<\/p>\n ADDITIONAL BENEFITS:<\/strong><\/p>\n Elderberries have been used for their medicinal benefits for thousands of years throughout North America, Europe, Western Asia and North Africa.
