Benefits of Elderberry for the Immune System

Elderberry is great for the immune system because it’s rich in antioxidants and vitamins – particularly vitamin C. The anthocyanins (deep-purple pigments) in elderberries are known to fight off free radicals, which can help reduce inflammation and improve your body’s response to infections. Incorporating elderberry into your diet, especially during the colder months, can give your immune system the boost it needs to keep you healthy.

Ginger & Lemon for Immune Support

Ginger is known to help to reduce inflammation and support overall immune health. It also aids in digestion, which is crucial for the absorption of nutrients that support immune function. Lemon, another vitamin C-rich ingredient, encourages the production of white blood cells, which your body relies on to fight infection. Together, the ingredients in this elderberry tonic recipe create a synergistic blend that’s both refreshing and supportive of your health.

Role of Elderberry & Echinacea Supplement

Echinacea is known to stimulate the immune system by promoting the production of white blood cells and enhancing the body’s defense against infections. When combined with elderberry, echinacea can offer a more robust immune response and possibly reduce the severity of symptoms if you do catch a cold.

Best Time to Use Elderberry for the Immune System

This elderberry tonic recipe is gentle enough to drink daily. You may find it particularly helpful during the colder months when your immune system could use extra support. Drinking it in the morning is a great way to kick-start your day with a boost of antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and immune-strengthening ingredients. If you're feeling under the weather or have been exposed to illness, you can safely enjoy this DIY immune tonic up to twice a day for additional support.
