Boosting the immune system is the key to maintaining optimal health. A strong immune system is able to fight off bacteria and viruses that invade the body from time to time.

A natural herbal formula, Sambu Guard has several ingredients that have been used for years to maintain the health of the upper respiratory tract. It is formulated with well-known immune system enhancers: elder flowers, elderberries, Echinacea and vitamin C.

Elderberries, from the Sambucus nigra plant, used for centuries by Europeans to ward off infectious agents, are excellent sources of vitamin C, calcium and phosphorus. Elderberries also have a high concentration of vitamin B, actually more than other fruits, and can eliminate toxins from the body because of their high potassium levels.

Sambucol (black elderberry) extract has been shown to have antiviral properties in various strains of influenza, including A and B. One study showed that the Sambucol group had improvement in symptoms in 2 days whereas recovery took at least 6 days in the control group (Zakay-Rones et al. 1995). Sambucol extract is used as an herbal remedy for colds and flu. Although the bottle suggests that the formula be taken in doses of 1 tbsp. 4 times per day, some clinicians have advised that it is more effective if taken every 3 hours within the first 48 to 72 hours of onset of flu-like symptoms until the bottle is finished. (The herb is more effective at inhibiting viral replication if the virus has not multiplied excessively). Similarly, antiviral flu prescription medications mandate that the drug be taken within the first 48 to 72 hours for the same reason.

Vitamin C is known for its effectiveness at strengthening the immune system. Most people reach for vitamin C at the first sign of a cold. There is no question that this vitamin is vital for life. Its role in the manufacture of collagen, a body-strengthening protein, is yet another reason why people take vitamin C. It is also a powerful antioxidant.

Echinacea is thought to enhance the body’s immune system. A wildflower native to North America, the herb has been used in conjunction with infections of the upper respiratory tract.

Sambu Guard’s unique ingredients can stand on their own as healthful supplements, but together they are a powerful immune system booster.
