A clinician since 1972, Michael is an authority on the world's herbal traditions, and has authorized several respected herb books. In the herbal traditions of Europe, elderberry has been used since antiquity as a wine, a syrup, and a warming winter cordial. The berries are rich in bioflavonoids and anthocyanins, a unique class of constituents known for their beneficial effect on cellular function, and particularly for their role in maintaining the integrity of capillary walls. Planetary Formulas' delicious Elderberry Syrup captures these unique compounds, uniting age-old tradition with modern science to support natural defenses.

Lifestyle Recommendations: To support natural defenses, eat well, get plenty of rest and exercise regularly. Avoid the excessive consumption of cold and raw foods during winter.
