How Sambucol® Works?

Influenza Viruses replicate themselves by entering cells membrane and spread throughout the body. Sambucol® with its unique Antivirin® mode of action help prevent the initial viral infection through 3 actions:

Stop the Virus

“Direct Inhibition”
Flavonoids from elderberries inhibits the virus’s ability from entering into the healthy cells.
Cell Protection

“Indirect Inhibition”
Lectins from elderberries binds with sialic acids found on the membrane surface of healthy cells to protect them against Influenza virus.
Immunity

“Immuno-stimulation”
Pectic polysaccharides from elderberries stimulate the body’s natural defense mechanisms and increase the cytokine production, which plays a key role in the immune response to viral invasion.
