Elder berries are widely known for their ability to alleviate allergies, boost the immune system, protect against bacteria and infection, lower blood sugar, help with weight loss, moderate the digestive process and slow down the spread of cancer.

- Improve attention
- Increase endurance in situations caused by fatigue
- Lower stress-induced disorders and impairments in the body
- Balance hormone levels
- Keep cortisol (the stress hormone) levels and other hormone levels in check
- Fight fatigue that results from excessive physical or emotional stress
- Combat the impact that stress has on cognitive function
- Stimulate mental performance that has been impacted by stress
- Normalize body functions
- Boost the immune system
- Fight the symptoms caused by elevated cortisol levels (such as anxiety, depression, fatigue, high blood pressure, insulin resistance and obesity)
- Increase physical stamina and improve energy levels
- Improve the function of organs, such as the liver and adrenal glands
- Improve the function of body systems, such as the gastrointestinal system
