Elderberry! Damn Powerful!!
Hey, it's Marco! The European black elderberries are rich dietary sources of plant pigments and phenolic compounds – essentially, powerful phytonutrients. They contain the flavonols, quercetin-3-glucoside and quercetin-3-rutinoside, and a number of anthocyanins: a group of phenolic compounds responsible for the attractive red, purple, and violet colours of many fruits, flowers, vegetables, and also elderberries. The anthocyanins in elderberries have been shown in several studies to enhance the antioxidant status of healthy humans.
