eldosamb®, an anthocyanin-enriched elderberry extract, revealed its excellent potential as ingredient for immune health products. The preclinical research program showed that eldosamb® acts mainly as an anti-inflammatory through reduced secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IFN-γ and leads to a shift towards the Th2-Helper cell response. Furthermore, the elderberry extract exerts high antiviral activity against the MVA Virus, which was used as surrogate for other enveloped viruses. eldosamb® is a high quality extract exclusively produced by Anklam Extrakt GmbH.
