Elderberry juice: A healthy vitamin bomb to drink
- Anyone suffering from vitamin deficiency should drink elderberry juice regularly. In addition to vitamins A, B1, and B2, the juice contains a lot of vitamin C.
- The high content of vitamin C makes elderberry juice the ideal way to prevent colds. Vitamin C is important for the immune system.
- If you suffer from iron deficiency, you can also benefit from the vitamin C in elderberry juice. In order to be able to absorb iron at all, the body needs this vitamin.
- In addition, vitamin C lowers cholesterol, which in turn protects the blood vessels and prevents cardiovascular diseases.
- In addition to numerous vitamins, elderberry juice scores with other healthy ingredients, the secondary plant substances. The violet dye sambucyanin, which has anti-inflammatory and diuretic effects, deserves special mention here.
- That is why elderberry juice is also recommended for kidney or bladder problems. The diuretic effect ensures that the excretory organs are thoroughly flushed and pathogens are flushed out.
- In another post, we will show you how to juice elderberries. However, you should not eat raw berries or other parts of the elderberry plant, as this can lead to stomach problems, vomiting, and diarrhea. Cooked, the berries are harmless and – as described – very healthy.
