You Already Knew That...
Elderberry has been used for thousands of years to support the immune system, decrease the duration and severity of viral infection, reduce inflammation, and even treat pain.
But Did You Know That...
Elderberry can also help decrease fine lines, dark spots, and sagging skin, and combat acne?
That's right!
Elderberry's high antioxidant levels, vitamin content, and anti-inflammatory properties make it an essential for immune health AND skincare!
How Does It Work?
This little powerhouse contains all kinds of good things, including:
- Antioxidants like anthocyanins, bioflavonoids, and phenols
- Vitamins A, B1, B6
- Vitamin C (just 1 ounce gives you 17% of your daily requirement!)
- Potassium and Iron
- Fiber
ANTIOXIDANTS neutralize free-radicals, which are waste products made by cells when we're exposed to UV light, pollution, chemicals, and chronic inflammation. When too many build up, cells are damaged and we are more likely to develop immune deficiency, chronic illness, heart disease, and cancer, and to show signs of premature aging in our skin.
Your body makes some antioxidants on its own, but not enough. The very BEST way to get the extras you need is through fruits and veggies, particularly "superfoods" like elderberry! Elderberry is rich in:
ANTIOXIDANTS like:
- Bioflavonoids and Phenols, which can minimize the effects of UV ray exposure, such as freckles, liver spots, uneven skin texture, and wrinkles
- Anthocyanins, with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer properties.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AGENTS reduce swelling and improve circulation of even the tiniest blood vessels. like those at the surface of your skin.
ANTIMICROBIAL AND ANTIFUNGAL PROPERTIES help skin balance oils, prevent breakouts, decrease the swelling associated with acne, and calm the skin.
ASTRINGENT BENEFITS cause skin to tighten, reducing the size and appearance of pores.
VITAMINS AND NUTRIENTS in elderberry support optimal cell function and repair, while also supporting healthy function of the lipid layer - the barrier on skin's surface that helps keep out dirt and impurities and prevent damage. This yields softer, smoother skin!
