Autumn is the season of colds and sick leaves. And there is no hope of improvement until spring.
All that remains is to strengthen the immune system and seek solace in traditional medicine recipes. By the way, even specialists believe in the power of the latter.

Elderberry extract
The expert draws conclusions based on the fight against the flu epidemic that occurred in Panama in 1995. Then, black elderberry juice helped to cope with the disease.
As part of the experiment, volunteers were able to get back on their feet in two days. Moreover, an improvement in well-being was observed already on the first day.
Benefits of Black Elderberry
The doctor draws attention to the antivirin compound contained in the berry, which has antiviral properties and helps with flu, acute respiratory viral infections and sinusitis.
The juice of the berry is rich in antioxidants, strengthens the immune system, has anti-inflammatory properties, and also improves the functioning of the digestive system.

In addition, elderberry enhances the effects of insulin, blood pressure medications and other drugs, including laxatives.
Therefore, before use, you should consult a doctor.
