NOW® Sambucus Zinc-C contains a 10:1 Elderberry concentrate. As a centuries-old tradition, Elderberry has been used as a tonic to help maintain health and well-being. In folk medicine, the berries are used dried or in juice to treat flu, colds, infections, sciatica, and headaches, as well as acting as a laxative and diuretic.

Elderberry is a low-calorie but nutritionally rich food. It contains a high content of Vitamin C and dietary fiber. It is a good source of phenolic acids and flavonoids, powerful antioxidants that can help reduce damage caused by oxidative stress in the body. It is also rich in anthocyanins, which are responsible for its deep purple (almost black) color. These powerful antioxidants help strengthen the immune system.

NOW® Sambucus Zinc-C includes Zinc and Vitamin C due to their essential immune-supporting properties.
Zinc is the second most abundant mineral in the body—after iron—and is present in every cell. It is required for the activity of over 300 enzymes that assist in metabolism, digestion, nerve function, and many other processes. Furthermore, it is essential for the development and function of immune cells.

One of the main reasons for taking Vitamin C supplements is to strengthen the immune system. Vitamin C is involved in many parts of the immune system. Firstly, it helps encourage the production of white blood cells, known as lymphocytes and phagocytes, which help protect the body against infections.
