- Immune supporting elderberry extract for winter ills and chills and niggly throats -

This pleasant tasting Sambucus Original black elderberry syrup was developed by world renowned virologist, Dr. Madeleine Mumcuoglu.

Sambucus is the worlds best selling and most extensively researched black elderberry extract and is produced with a patented process which uniquely isolates the key active constituent of elderberries.

Used by millions of people with positive results being reported worldwide, Sambucus is especially popular for promoting good health during the winter season.

Usage: Viral infections including seasonal, childhood and adult infections.

For centuries the dark berries of European black elderberries have been used for winter ills and chills. In recent years, researchers have proven elderberry’s broad spectrum efficacy in numerous studies. Continuing research suggests that elderberry provides excellent support for the body’s first line of defence against a broad spectrum of viruses.

Outbreaks of seasonal ills and chills are common and according to the World Health Organisation as many as 15% of a population may be affected by one or more strains of virus during an average autumn and winter season. Although vaccinations are thought to offer some protection, they are often ineffective. As many as half of those vaccinated may suffer complications and the wily viruses can have varied structures which are not affected by the antibodies produced in response to the vaccine.

Elderberry, on the other hand, is safe, natural and appears to work by supporting the body’s own natural ability to effectively fight against a wide variety of viruses.

Natures Sunshine SAM-e (S-Adenosyl-methionine tosylate) is a naturally occurring amino acid found throughout the body with high concentrations in the adrenal glands, liver and brain. It is required in over 40 biochemical reactions, helping with a variety of functions, including mood regulation, cognitive function, general nerve conditions, liver and heart health.

Most of the bodys SAM-e is synthesised in the liver from the amino acid methionine, with the help of folic acid and vitamin B12. SAM-es primary role is supporting healthy levels of serotonin, an important neurotransmitter in the brain known for supporting mood balance.

Scientific studies show SAM-e naturally supports mood balance in as little as 7 to 14 days when taken daily.

SAM-e provides a source of sulfur, an important compound used to support healthy cartilage and strong joints and for synthesis of taurine and glutathione, used in liver detoxification processes. Factors such as age, certain health conditions and poor diet can impact the amount of SAM-e found in the body. It also appears to help fight premature aging by regenerating new cells, especially in joint and liver tissue.

Natures Sunshines SAM-e contains 200mg of pure S-Adenosylmethionine tosylate disulfate in each enteric coated tablet. The enteric coating prevents SAM-e from prematurely breaking down in the bottle and also provides for optimal absorption of SAM-e in the small intestine.
