Elderberry grows in Europe and North America. The leaves were used by European herbalists for pain relief and to promote the healing of injuries when applied as a poultice. Presently, herbalists and holistic health practitioners use elderberry to promote immune activity and respiratory health. Elderberry contains many antioxidants including vitamins A, B, and C. These compounds keep the immune system strong and allow it to fight common viruses.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) plays a critical role in the functioning of the immune system and its use by physicians has been recognized for almost a century. It is well known that a deficiency of vitamin C due to a low nutritional intake leads to a greater susceptibility to several illnesses and a vulnerable immune system. Citrus bioflavonoids support good immune cell activity for better immune function and support of the respiratory system. They also have a synergistic function with vitamin C for improved immune support and have been shown to increase the absorption of vitamin C.
Zinc is well known to play an important role in the immune system. Studies have confirmed that zinc-deficient people experience increased susceptibility to a variety of pathogens. Zinc has many immunologic mechanisms crucial for a healthy immune response.
Ginger is another important compound due to its array of biological activities and diverse applications. Research has demonstrated the importance of ginger in scenarios including inflammation, oxidative stress, and immunity. Ginger and its biochemical properties are still the focus of many studies.
