Sambucus Black Elderberry

Sambucus nigra L. is the Latin name for Black Elder. Elderberries have many naturally occurring nutritional substances such as rutin, quercetin (flavonoids) and anthocyanins. Current research supports the long-held beliefs about elderberries' health benefits for the body. Elderberry syrup has been traditionally used to help support the immune system, especially during the winter season or when experiencing extra stress. An added advantage to using elderberry is its record of safety for all ages.
