HOW DOES ELDERBERRY WORK?
Viruses are organisms which cannot replicate themselves. They must use DNA from living cells in order to reproduce. Flu viruses invade cells by puncturing the cell walls with little spikes called hem agglutinin. These spikes are coated with an enzyme called neuraminidase, which helps break down the cell walls. Elderberry appears to actually disarm these spikes and inhibit the action of this enzyme — thus preventing flu viruses from invading further cells. The best manner in which to take the Elderberry formulas when symptoms appear is to take 6 capsules (4 chewable tablets for child) per day for the first three days and then lower the intake to 4 capsules (2 tablets for child) per day until symptoms have subsided. To keep the body elevated in its defenses to try to prevent the flu, take 2 capsules of the Elderberry Defense and 1 chewable Elderberry Plus for a child. So don’t delay stock your medicine cabinet, and be prepared to fight the flu. For more information regarding Nature’s Sun
