ELDERBERRY

The European elder tree produces a dark purple berry known as Elderberry or 'Sambucus nigra'. Throughout history, Elderberry has been widely used as a medicinal plant for treating colds and flu. Elderberries are rich in powerful antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Among these are polyphenols such as anthocyanins, flavanols like rutin, quercetin, and isoquercetin, phenolic acids, as well as vitamin C and vitamin B.

 

Research has indicated that Elderberry can help inhibit the proinflammatory activities of major periodontal pathogens and reduce periodontal infections. The Elderberry component in PerioGold Gel is an integral component that aids in promoting good oral health.
