R95.00
Pharma Germania Natural Products Elderberries contain dried berries of Sambucus nigra, commonly known as Black Elder or European Elder.
Elderberries have a long history of traditional use during colds, influenza and other seasonal respiratory complaints. The manufacturer also describes traditional uses relating to perspiration, mucus clearance, urinary function and bowel regularity.
For a compliant modern herbal listing, Elderberries are best positioned as a botanical traditionally used to support immune function, respiratory comfort and seasonal wellness, rather than as a treatment for infections or other diseases.
The dark purple-black berries naturally contain anthocyanins, flavonoids and other polyphenolic compounds, which contribute to their characteristic colour and antioxidant activity.
Unlike the leaves and stems of the Elder plant, appropriately prepared berries are the part commonly used in food and herbal preparations. The manufacturer’s directions specifically instruct the dried berries to be boiled and simmered before consumption.

Why Choose Pharma Germania Elderberries?
Elderberry is one of the best-known traditional botanicals for seasonal immune and respiratory wellness.
The berries’ characteristic dark colour reflects their naturally occurring anthocyanin pigments, a group of antioxidant polyphenols.
The manufacturer’s traditional-use information extends to colds, influenza, bronchitis, sinusitis, anaemia, rheumatism, HIV and urinary inflammation. These uses should not be interpreted as evidence that Elderberries treat these conditions. Elderberry should be used as supportive herbal wellness rather than a substitute for appropriate medical care.
