Elderberry (Sambucus Nigra), a honeysuckle plant, is widely distributed in China. Elderberry is mainly used for rheumatism, and it can also promote blood circulation and stop bleeding. It also has a great effect on swelling caused by fractures and bleeding caused by trauma. In addition, it can also resist influenza virus, regulate body immunity, and resist oxidation.
Elderberry SD Powder is a standardized extract derived from Sambucus nigra fruits, produced via spray drying to ensure stability and solubility. This process concentrates bioactive compounds such as anthocyanins and flavonoids. While the primary active components are polyphenols, specific molecular formulas vary by cultivar; CAS numbers for individual anthocyanins (e.g., Cyanidin-3-glucoside: 28107-56-6) apply rather than a single bulk powder ID.
Raw plant material contains cyanogenic glycosides requiring proper processing to eliminate toxicity. Storage must occur in cool, dry environments below 25°C with humidity control to prevent microbial growth and preserve antioxidant activity. Clinical data suggests caution for autoimmune conditions due to potential immune stimulation.
