Solaray Black Elderberry Extract Triple Strength 1200mg With SambuActin (60 Coated Tablets)
When seasonal changes challenge your physical defense system, your body needs dependable, concentrated nutritional support. Black Elderberry Extract Triple Strength 1200mg With SambuActin delivers a potent, research-inspired formula combining concentrated European black elderberry with antioxidant Vitamin C to keep your immune system functioning at its best.
Crafted by Solaray—an industry leader in botanical testing and supplement purity since 1973—this formula delivers triple the standard concentration of active elderberry components in smooth, easy-to-swallow tablets.
The Science of SambuActin: Why Standardized 2% Polyphenols Matter
In ordinary herbal products, berry potency can vary wildly from crop to crop depending on rainfall, soil, and harvest time. Solaray resolves this inconsistency through SambuActin™, an advanced extract derived from premium European black elderberry (Sambucus nigra).
Each 2-tablet serving is strictly standardized to guarantee 2% polyphenols (24 mg). In plain terms, polyphenols are natural plant nutrients loaded with anthocyanins—the deep purple pigments that give elderberries their dark color. Anthocyanins serve as nature’s protective shields, roaming your bloodstream to neutralize unstable molecules called free radicals before they can cause oxidative stress to healthy human cells.
Clinical Evidence Supporting Black Elderberry:
- ✓ Symptom Severity & Recovery: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study published in the Journal of International Medical Research (Zakay-Rones et al., 2004; PMID: 15080016) demonstrated that individuals using standardized elderberry extract experienced significant improvement in upper respiratory symptoms nearly 4 days faster than those taking a placebo.
- ✓ Protection During Physical Stress: In a clinical trial involving long-haul air passengers published in Nutrients (Tiralongo et al., 2016; PMID: 27023596), standardized elderberry supplementation significantly reduced both cold duration and symptom score, proving its effectiveness during physical exhaustion and travel.
Dual-Action Formula: High-Potency Vitamin C & Palatable Bilberry Coating
To complement the botanical power of elderberry, Solaray added 400 mg of Vitamin C (as Ascorbic Acid) per serving. Vitamin C is a cornerstone micronutrient well-documented by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and clinical immunology reviews (Carr & Maggini, Nutrients, 2017; PMID: 29099763). It actively supports cellular defense by encouraging the production and function of white blood cells (phagocytes and lymphocytes).
Together, black elderberry polyphenols and Vitamin C create an antioxidant network: while elderberry works to protect cell walls, Vitamin C recharges internal immune activity.
No More Hard-to-Swallow Herbal Tablets:
Many concentrated herbal tablets leave a gritty, bitter aftertaste. Solaray finishes each tablet with an exclusive natural bilberry and stevia coating. This specialized plant-based glaze eliminates unpleasant herbal bitterness, glides smoothly with water, and leaves a pleasant berry aroma.
