Stops 11 different strains of the flu from replicating
Shortens colds and upper respiratory symptoms dramatically
Helps build immune system
Helps inhibit a virus from taking hold and infecting you
Sacred Plants Farmacy’s Elderberry syrup is made from organic Elderberries decocted in distilled water then blended with raw locally source Cera Mora Honey and a bit of echinacea tincture. We do not add thickeners, gels or stabilizers, no colors or added sugars, no preservatives either. sold frozen, it keeps well for 1 month refrigerated and 6 months frozen.
- Take 1 teaspoon daily to help prevent colds and flu – very beneficial for school aged children, elderly, those with a compromised immune system and those who work around sick people, like doctors and nurses.
- Take 1-2 teaspoons every 3-4 hours for cold, flu, upper respiratory infection, sinus infection and illnesses with coughing.

Black elderberries (Sambucus nigra L.) are well known as supportive agents against common cold and influenza. It is further known that bacterial super-infection during an influenza virus (IV) infection can lead to severe pneumonia. We have analyzed a standardized elderberry extract (Rubini, BerryPharma AG) for its antimicrobial and antiviral activity using the microtitre broth micro-dilution assay against three Gram-positive bacteria and one Gram-negative bacteria responsible for infections of the upper respiratory tract, as well as cell culture experiments for two different strains of influenza virus.
Methods
The antimicrobial activity of the elderberry extract was determined by bacterial growth experiments in liquid cultures using the extract at concentrations of 5%
10%, 15% and 20%. The inhibitory effects were determined by plating the bacteria on agar plates. In addition, the inhibitory potential of the extract on the propagation of human pathogenic H5N1-type influenza A virus isolated from a patient and an influenza B virus strain was investigated using MTT and focus assays.
Results
For the first time, it was shown that a standardized elderberry liquid extract possesses antimicrobial activity against both Gram-positive bacteria of Streptococcus pyogenes and group C and G Streptococci, and the Gram-negative bacterium Branhamella catarrhalis in liquid cultures. The liquid extract also displays an inhibitory effect on the propagation of human pathogenic influenza viruses.
Conclusion
Rubini elderberry liquid extract is active against human pathogenic bacteria as well as influenza viruses. The activities shown suggest that additional and alternative approaches to combat infections might be provided by this natural product.
