Over the past few years, Manna has become kind of a big deal for its immunity-boosting liposomal vitamins.
Some of the most popular include our uber-potent Liposomal Vitamin C, and our antioxidant powerhouse Liposomal Curcumin.
Another one of our immunity support products has some people scratching their heads: Liposomal Elderberry Immune.
While our immunity-boosting supplements contain vitamins and minerals you know and love, our elderberry supplement contains additional natural ingredients like elderberry (duh), echinacea and ginger.
Studies have suggested that these ingredients have major benefits for your immune system.
But what is elderberry, and why is it so special?
More importantly, why should you choose an elderberry immune supplement over a traditional immunity support vitamin?
Let’s take a deep dive into Manna Elderberry Immune to discover its benefits and ingredients.
What is Elderberry?
Elderberry. Is it the newest fad in immunity support? Not exactly.
Funny enough, it’s not called “elder”-berry for nothing.
This natural ingredient has been used for thousands of years to treat colds, the flu, pain and a lot more.
Elderberries are exactly what they sound like—a type of sweet berry that grows in clusters on Elder trees.
When eaten raw, they are somewhat toxic, causing vomiting and diarrhea. For this reason, they were often used as laxatives by our ancestors.
When cooked, the berries lose their toxicity and can be safely consumed in large quantities. In fact, they’re pretty tasty.
Elderberries are commonly used to make tasty pies, jams, chutneys and other sweet treats.
Today, scientists are learning more about why people have been obsessed with elderberries for so long.
As it turns out, these sweet little morsels are packed with antioxidant, antiviral and anti-inflammatory compounds. Elderberries have so many potential health benefits that the pharmaceutical industry is actively seeking to synthesize and extract its compounds [1].
But we figured, why not go straight to the source and take elderberry the natural way? That’s why we put real concentrated elderberry juice extract into every packet of Liposomal Elderberry Immune.
But before we get ahead of ourselves, let’s explore a few of the benefits of elderberry.
What are the Benefits of Elderberry?
Elderberry’s benefits are still being explored—yet there are already nearly too many to count.
Here are just a few of elderberry’s benefits that have been studied:
- Antiviral
- Antibacterial
- Antioxidant
- Anti-inflammatory
- Antidiabetic (may balance blood sugar)
- Antitumor
- Antidepressant
- Heart health (may lower cholesterol)
- Weight loss
- Pain relief
- Cold and flu symptom relief
Elderberry is mostly touted for its immunity support benefits. It may help shield you from illness by inhibiting bacterial growth and virus replication in the body (particularly coronaviruses, which cause common colds and COVID-19) [2,3].
Simply put, elderberry may stop infections before they can cause symptoms (aka make you sick). Elderberry has also been found to support a healthy inflammatory response, stimulating your immune system’s natural healing cycle [2].
One of the most significant benefits is that elderberry has been found to reduce the symptoms of colds and the flu even if you start taking it after you’ve been infected [4].
That means elderberry may be an effective way to help you feel better and recover faster when you get sick.
Why Take an Elderberry Supplement?
If you want to boost your immunity, you can take antioxidants, vitamin C, Vitamin D, or an immunity support multivitamin like Manna Liposomal Immune.
So, why take an elderberry supplement? Probably the biggest reason for choosing an elderberry supplement is that it can empower your immune system even after you start feeling symptoms of a cold or the flu.
It’s been found to reduce the symptoms, severity and duration of these illnesses when taken within 48 hours of experiencing your first symptoms.
Other immunity support supplements can’t do that.
Most immunity-boosting nutrients help you strengthen your immune system before it gets attacked by germs. But this can take time, so it’s not very effective to start taking these supplements when you’re already feeling ill.
Think of it like this: supplements like Manna Liposomal Immune are like construction workers, strengthening your body’s defenses brick by brick.
Taking this supplement daily keeps your immunity fortress strong. If germs invade and infect you, taking Manna Liposomal Elderberry is like sending in reinforcements to rout the invaders and reduce (or prevent) damage.
You can take both Manna Liposomal Immune and Manna Liposomal Elderberry every day for maximum immunity support (you can even take both together).
Remember, elderberry has many benefits beyond reducing your cold and flu symptoms. But at the very least, we recommend keeping a box of Elderberry Immune packets handy for when someone in your family starts to feel woozy.
Vitamin Breakdown: What’s Inside Manna Elderberry Immune
There’s a lot more inside Manna Elderberry Immune than just elderberry.
Its blend of natural ingredients, vitamins and minerals makes it an excellent supplement for both long-term use and emergency symptom relief.
Let’s take a peek inside each packet:
- Vitamin C: You already know that Vitamin C is an immunity superstar. It’s a powerful antioxidant that helps repair and protect your cells. As a precursor to collagen, it plays a key role in your body’s healing process (and keeps you looking youthful!).
- Vitamin D3: Vitamin D3 is like sunshine in a bottle. It supports your bones by helping your body absorb calcium, but it doesn’t stop there. It’s also crucial for a strong immune system, helping your body’s defenders stay alert and tackle intruders like viruses and bacteria.
- Vitamin E: Think of Vitamin E as your cellular bodyguard. Like vitamin C, it’s an antioxidant that patrols your body, protecting cells from damage. It also keeps your immune system strong by helping produce T cells, which are the cells that fight germs.
- Zinc: Zinc is essential for fighting off invaders and healing wounds. It’s also one of the only other ingredients, aside from elderberry, that can reduce the symptoms and severity of colds after you start feeling sick [5].
- Potassium: Potassium is one of the most important electrolytes for immune function. It’s responsible for fueling many of your immune system’s processes, including antimicrobial activity (aka fighting bacteria and viruses).
- Elderberry: What more can we say about elderberry? It’s the star of the show in Manna Elderberry Immune. It’s a powerful antioxidant, and it gives your immune system a boost to tackle colds and the flu when you need it most.
- Echinacea: Echinacea is another natural ingredient that’s been used for centuries to rev up the body’s natural defenses. It’s been found to increase the production of white blood cells, which are the body’s soldiers for fighting off infection [6].
- Ginger: You might know ginger for its stomach-settling powers. It also has anti-inflammatory properties that help maintain a balanced immune response. Known as the “cold killer,” ginger may reduce inflammation-related symptoms like sore throats, swelling and aches [7].
