RESEARCH FINDINGS:
Sambu®Guard has not been the subject of any clinical trials but elderberry, echinacea purpurea, and vitamin C individually have. Elderberry has shown to be safe and effective in clinical trials (1). *
The anthocyanin flavonoids in elderberry seem to be the main active ingredients that support a strong immune response (2,3).* These flavonoids also incorporate themselves into cells and tissues to provide protective antioxidant effects (3,4). *
