Vegan Black Elderberry

Elderberry contains several compounds that help support healthy immune function. These active compounds help defend against viruses by affecting their ability to infect the body’s cells. Certain proteins at the surface of viruses have the ability to break down the body’s cell membranes and infect the cell. By neutralizing these proteins, the active compounds in elderberry help protect the cells from infection. Elderberry also contains flavonoids, which help reduce swelling, fight inflammation, and boost the immune system. The organic elderberries used to produce PlantFusion’s Black Elderberry are a rich source of anthocyanins, which have been studied for their immune enhancing effects. Anthocyanins benefit the immune system by supporting cytokine production. Cytokines are messenger proteins that benefit the immune response.
