Primarily found in Europe and North America, Black Elderberries (Sambucus nigra) have long been used in traditional cultures to support immune function. Elderberry has an extensive history of being used during seasonal immune challenges.Regarded as an “Elder” plant in Native American Herbalism, Elderberry has been used collectively by many tribes as a tonic medicine and food to promote health and vitality. Elderberries have also been used as a food source for making wine, and syrup.
Elderberry has long been proposed as being immune supportive, and supports the body’s natural defense. Research studies show Black Elderberry to have immune modulating and antioxidant properties. Elderberry is high in flavonoid rich compounds quercetin and rutin, and anthocyanins identified as cyanidin-3-ambubioside and cyanidin-3-glucoside. These flavonoids exert antioxidant protection on cells. By providing antioxidant protection, Elderberry aids in protecting cellular health from free radical damage and airborne elements.
Acerola Cherry Fruit Extract
Gaia Herbs Black Elderberry Syrup also contains Acerola Cherry (Malpighia glabra). Acerola Cherry is most notable for being a significant natural source of vitamin C and other antioxidant compounds such as carotenoids.
Acerola has been found to have up to 14.6mg vitamin C per 1g of ripe fruit, which is substantially higher than other common fruits like lychee (2.28mg/g), oranges (1.38mg/g), and black currants (1.8mg/g). Among other functions, Vitamin C acts as a free-radical scavenger to help fight oxidative stress in the body.
