Elderberry - The Winter Wellness
Berry
By New Chapter
Elderberry is a revered
botanical that has been traditionally used
to help support the immune system.
The
winter season is fast approaching (or here for many of us) and with it
a heightened awareness of the importance of maintaining health and
wellness, naturally. One herbal therapy that is sure to be popular is
Elderberry. The purplish-black berries of the Elderberry bush have a
long history of being used by the Europeans to balance health and
maintain wellness during the cold winter months. So revered was the
herb, that in the middle ages, it was considered to be a Holy Tree,
capable of maintaining good health and improving longevity. But, do
Elderberries really deserve their age-old reputation as the winter
wellness berry? We think so!
Like other dark berries, Elderberries are a rich
source of powerful antioxidant compounds called flavonoids and
anthocyanidins. It has been shown that in addition to protecting cells
from the ravages of free radicals and their effects, these compounds
display a remarkable ability to maintain a healthy balance of
microbes.
Recently, a group of scientists were able to use a
cutting edge technology analytical tool called DARTvision (Direct
Analysis in Real Time) to identify three novel flavonoid and
anthyocyanidin compounds in Elderberry which were shown in laboratory
testing to be the most biologically active microbe balancing
chemistries. They then developed a solvent-free supercritical
extraction process to optimize the levels of these chemistries and
ensure they would be present in consistent amounts in every dose of
the extract consumed. Using DARTvision, the researchers were able to
confirm that the desired chemical fingerprint of elderberry had been
achieved.
New
Chapter's Immunity Take Care is this dose reliable Elderberry
extract. Because the extraction process is incredibly precise and
every batch is validated with DARTvision, New Chapter can guarantee
dose-to-dose reliability. Why is that important? Because it means you
will receive the same wellness enhancing benefits with every delicious
blueberry-flavored lozenge.
This winter, make a resolution to keep your immune
system strong. Provide it with the support it needs from this revered
herb. When combined with a whole-food diet, regular exercise, and of
course lots of hand washing, you can stay healthy, happy and energized
through the winter and beyond!
