Key Ingredients Benefits
Elderberry:
Helps fight inflammation, enhances immune system function and soothes the upper respiratory. It is very effective against flu and cold viruses by it's ability to inhibit viral replication. It contains a litany of healthful properties (including antioxidants, tannins, vitamins A, B, and C, flavonoids ... and more phosphorus and potassium than other temperate fruit) which help strengthen the immune system. It's best known for knocking out the flu right when it starts, so it's important to take it immediately upon having symptoms.
Burdock Root:
For centuries, traditional healers have recommended the use of burdock root to fight the common cold, sore throats, and other ailments. Scientific research now provides some insight into how burdock may fight infections.
Some studies have found that it has antibacterial qualities. Burdock root has high levels of vitamin E and vitamin C. Both vitamins are good antioxidants that rid the body of oxygen free radicals. This helps improve the function of the immune system.
