Nature’s Way® Sambucus

Nature’s Way® Sambucus contains an incredibly delicious black elderberry extract. The berry of this beautiful plant has been used for centuries in Europe as a traditional winter remedy and general tonic for health and longevity. Constituents in black elderberry have been shown to help deactivate spikes on the viruses so that they are unable to pierce our body’s cell walls, enter and replicate¹. In this way standardised black elderberry extract is able to neutralise and reduce the strength of some of the most common influenza strains^2,3 making it easier for the body to resist and repel viral attack.

Nature’s Way® Sambucus Original is a great first aid remedy to take at the first sign of a sore throat or runny nose and is safe to take in pregnancy.

Nature’s Way® Sambucus Sugar Free replaces fructose with sorbitol so it is suitable for diabetics and calorie watchers. Medicine never tasted so good.

Nature’s Way® Olive leaf

Olive leaf extract is made from the same plant that bears the well-known olive fruit. Its main active constituent is a compound called oleuropein. Oleuropein interferes with the production of amino acids that are necessary for the survival of various types of bacteria and viruses so olive leaf extract has antimicrobial activity against a variety of viruses, bacteria, yeasts and fungi^4-11.

Based on the evidence of olive leaf extract’s broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, it is ideal to help the body fight off bacterial, fungal and most especially viral infections such as colds, flu and herpes.

Herpes simplex, responsible for cold sore outbreaks, tends to take hold when sufferers are run down and tired, a common occurrence during the winter months. Taking olive leaf regularly as a preventative measure may help your body resist viral invasion and halt that dreaded cold sore outbreak.
