Looking to optimize your immune system? Look no further! Sambucus nigra, known as Black Elderberry or Sambucus is one of the best superfruit powders for health and wellness. 

While this fruit powder is new to nubeleaf, it certainly is not new to the wellness industry as the powerful benefits of Elderberry are well-known and date back as early as 400 AD. Hippocrates, the father of medicine, referred to Elderberries as 'medicine chest' because of all the support they offered.

Elderberries are grown in Europe and are known to help strengthen and maintain healthy immune and respiratory systems. Black Elderberry is unique in providing both antioxidant and immune support due to its natural concentration of anthocyanins and other flavonoids, including quercetin. It is believed that the presence of anthocyanins, which are polyphenols, found in elderberry have demonstrated antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities.

These little berries pack a punch to keep our immune systems strong by naturally improving cold and flu symptoms, reducing inflammation, allergies, sinus issues, nerve pain, chronic fatigue, constipation and more!
