A flu is much more severe and serious than a cold but it is comforting to know that you can easily find black elderberry products online or at your local pharmacy and natural health store.
One of the most effective ways to cure a cold or flu is by using a natural remedy containing black elderberries. Black elderberries are particularly rich in flavonoids, in particular anthocyanins. These act as powerful antioxidants to help the immune system defend itself. However, anthocyanins are easily destroyed during normal extraction processes.
