ELDERBERRY PLANTS CAN LIVE UP TO 100 YEARS
Yep…elderberry is a hardy plant with some of their kind known to have survived while continually producing fruit for as long as 100 years. Compare that to the average house plant that typically lives anywhere from 5 to 10 years, (although some certainly live longer). Perhaps counterintuitively the wild elderberry plant (as opposed to cultivated elderberry) is usually the longest-lived.

When I first started selling my The Trinity they sold so fast I couldn’t keep up, and now it’s my Blood Sugar Support Capsules, which lets me know it’s an area I need to invest in not only more product, but more wisdom and education especially in the African American churches.

We are only on day 17 of the month, and I’ve sold 40+ Regimens which are the Blood Sugar Support Capsules + BLK (Blood, Liver, & Kidney) Detox Drops.

It’s almost time to go make elderberry and fire cider for tomorrow’s ship out which means you have a little more time to get your orders in to make sure they go out tomorrow.

Note: All of our DIY kits can now be made into tea for your family dinner by adding them to a gallon of water, instead of 4 cups to make the syrup.

Did you know companies put fillers like calcium carbonate, starch, and even baking soda in their capsules to make them shelf stable?!

Not us though. The only thing in our capsules is the dehydrated (to remove water) herb, which is why you only have to take our capsules ones a day unlike others that want you to take them 2-3 times a day to make up the difference.

Now you know, now go buy The Trinity.

All of our products are preservative free and are no more than 48 hours old when shipped.

One thing I like to do is cook and eat, but when I turned 42 my body started winding down from my days of youth so I started making my Detox Drops and Blood Sugar Capsules, to help me balance my blood sugar levels while I got on the right path during what I’m calling Premenopausal Parenting!

Black Elder (Sambucus nigra)

Elderberries have been used for thousands of years for both its medicinal uses and in food preparation. It has been used to prevent or shorten the duration of herpes outbreaks, decrease pain and inflammation, and reduce symptoms of upper respiratory infections, with excellent results, but the magic maker is its ability to shorten the duration of cold and flu symptoms by up to 3 days when measured against a placebo. This super berry is bar none a year-round need to promote a robust immune system.

Scientifically speaking elderberries are made up of the hemagglutinin protein, which has been shown to stop a virus’ capability to replicate by inhibiting its ability to pe*****te the cell wall, thereby preventing the virus from causing infection if taken before exposure. If elderberries are taken after infection, these proteins will prevent the virus from spreading, which reduces the duration of the symptoms of the viral illness.

Flavonoids are another plant based chemical that places elderberries in the category of "antioxidant-rich," capable of preventing cell damage. These chemicals in the berries may help diminish swelling in mucous membranes like sinuses and help relieve nasal congestion.

Overall elderberries are also an excellent source of fiber with 40 percent of your daily intake need and Vitamin A providing 17 percent of the daily value need, but all this is eclipsed by the infection-fighting vitamin C with 87 percent – reportedly more than any other plant besides black currants and rosehips. Other prominent ingredients in elderberries include iron (13 percent of the daily value) as well as potassium, vitamin B6, and lots of beta-carotene.
