Small (But Powerful!) Berry Ends Colds and Flu

Your mainstream doctor will tell you that there is nothing you can do to get rid of a viral infection like the common cold.
And when it comes to even more dangerous illnesses like the flu? They’ll just suggest a useless shot… or a risky nasal spray.
But you deserve a better way.
Now, it’s here.
Scientist have recently found that a tiny berry could be the best way to DESTROY viruses.
Plus, you can get your hands on it today!
If you haven’t tried elderberry to fight or prevent flu, it is time you add it to your medicine cabinet.
Elderberry is a tiny berry but it packs a HUGE punch when it comes to fighting off viruses.
That’s because it’s chocked full flu-fighting antioxidants, polyphenols, and other immune–supporting molecules.
Natural medicine doctors have known for a long time that elderberry works to combat flu, but they didn’t know why.
A recent study out of Australia shows that elderberry has direct antiviral effects against the flu virus.
The active ingredients are compounds called anthocyanidins compounds – phytonutrients responsible for giving the fruit its vivid purple – and they keep viruses from attaching to your cells.
You see, viruses are so dangerous because they invade your cells and then use the machinery inside of it to multiply.
But, if you can block viruses from attaching to your cells, then you can keep them from spreading.
And that’s exactly what elderberry does.
Even better?
Elderberry also inhibits viral spread inside the cells. And that’s something no other natural medicine or drugs can do.
On top of that, elderberry also stimulates the body cells to release cytokines, the chemical messengers that call the immune system into action.
So, if you feel a summer cold coming on, it’s time to load up on elderberry!
And you should keep it stocked through flu season, too.
You can pick up elderberry supplements and syrups at your local pharmacy.
