Elderberry Extract

for Flu (Influenza)

Standardised elderberry (Sambucus nigra) extract or syrup used to reduce the duration and severity of cold and flu symptoms.

How it works

Elderberry flavonoids inhibit viral replication, stimulate cytokine production, and may block viral attachment to host cell receptors, shortening illness duration.

What to watch for

Start immediately at first symptoms for best effect. Use standardised extract products.
