π₯ Looking for natural boosts for your metabolism?
We usually think about elderberry π« for immune support during the cold and flu season, but a new study shows it may also benefit metabolic health.
After drinking 12 ounces of elderberry juice daily for a week, participants experienced:
1οΈβ£ Improved gut health
Elderberry juice increased beneficial gut bacteria and decreased harmful ones. A healthy gut microbiome is closely linked to better metabolic health.
2οΈβ£ Better blood sugar control:
Participants had a 24% decrease in blood glucose levels and a 9% decrease in insulin levels, showing improved sugar metabolism.
3οΈβ£ Enhanced fat burning:
Elderberry juice improved the bodyβs ability to oxidize fat, especially after carb-heavy meals and during exercise.
What makes elderberries so great?
Anthocyanins β¨
Anthocyanins are phytonutrients (plant compounds) with powerful antioxidant and health-promoting properties, and elderberries contain them in much higher concentrations than most other berries.
Itβs all about nutrient density.
As with all supplements, itβs essential to consult a practitioner who can evaluate your unique situation. Even natural options like elderberry juice may not be right for everyone.
