Application:
Elderflower (Sambucus nigra) is widely used for therapeutic and purposes that trigger its significant value. [1]
Numerous studies indicate that the fruit and flowers of Sambucus nigra are highly nutritious and rich in bioactive compounds such as polyphenols and anthocyanins. Thanks to these compounds, elderberry is characterized by high antioxidant activity, which significantly affects its health-promoting properties. [2]
Sambucus nigra flower has inhibitory activity for most of the 13 nosocomial pathogens (e.g. Staphylococcus sp., Bacillus cereus, Salmonella poona, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa). [3]
It has been showed also that elderflower increased glucose uptake, glucose oxidation and glycogenesis in mice abdominal muscles without added insulin. [4]
