    Questions and Answers about NOW Foods, Sambucus Zinc-C

    Have a Question?

    Ask a Question
    • What are the benefits of NOW Foods Sambucus Zinc-C?

      NOW Foods Sambucus Zinc-C combines elderberry extract (Sambucus) with zinc and vitamin C to potentially provide comprehensive immune support. This combination may help boost the immune system, provide antioxidant protection, and support overall health and wellness, especially during times of increased immune stress.

    • Does Sambucus have vitamin C?

      While Sambucus (elderberry) naturally contains some vitamin C, the amount is typically not significant compared to supplemental sources. In NOW Foods, Sambucus Zinc-C, vitamin C is added as a separate ingredient to enhance the formula's immune-supporting properties and provide additional antioxidant benefits.

    • What is Sambucus good for?

      Sambucus, or elderberry, is primarily known for its potential immune-boosting properties. It contains compounds that may help support the body's natural defense mechanisms, potentially reducing the duration and severity of cold and flu symptoms. Additionally, elderberry is rich in antioxidants, which may contribute to overall health and wellness.

    • Can you take Sambucus daily?

      Taking Sambucus daily is generally considered safe for most people and may provide ongoing immune support. Regular use, especially during cold and flu season, might help maintain a strong immune system. However, it's important to follow the recommended dosage and be aware of any individual sensitivities or potential interactions with medications.

    • What is the function of Sambucus?

      The primary function of Sambucus in supplements is to support immune health. It contains compounds called anthocyanins and other flavonoids that have antioxidant properties and may help boost the immune system. Some studies suggest that elderberry may help reduce the severity and duration of cold and flu symptoms by supporting the body's natural immune responses.

    • What are the side effects of NOW Foods Sambucus Zinc-C?

      Side effects from NOW Foods, Sambucus Zinc-C are generally mild and uncommon when taken as directed. Some individuals may experience digestive discomfort or mild allergic reactions, particularly if they have sensitivities to elderberry or other ingredients.
