Read the research

  • Paper on health benefits of elderberry

    • The health-promoting effects of elderberries are well documented, with elderberry being a very rich source of anthocyanins (approximately 80%)

    • It is also evident that the pharmacological effects of elderberry, in particular intervening with age-related disorders, neuroprotection, augmenting the immune system, and attenuation of metabolic syndromes such as dyslipidemia, elevated blood sugar, and CVD, are mediated by the ability of anthocyanin to suppress oxidative stress and reduce inflammatory conditions.

    • Oxidative stress has been associated with the initiation and progression of several health disorders, such as atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, cognitive impairment, and cancer. 

  • Paper on a study in birds showing ginger’s ability to improve antioxidant capacity, enhance immune function, and reduce inflammatory response.

  • Paper on a study of diabetic rats

    • Ginger root extract improved glucose homeostasis in diabetic rats, in part, via improving intestinal integrity and mitochondrial dysfunction of GI health

  • Paper on safety of ginger rhizome in fighting nausea during pregnancy

    • The available evidence suggests that ginger is a safe and effective treatment for NVP

  • Study on ginger reducing nausea and vomiting in pregnancy
