Health/Nutrition News: New Berry On The Block Packs Twice The Antioxidants

Health/Nutrition News: New Berry On The Block Packs Twice The Antioxidants

The little-known black elderberry is "berry" good for your health; clinically-proven to support immune function.

Nottingham, UK (PRWEB) February 25, 2009 -- It's been widely known and touted that certain berries are high in antioxidants, thought to help boost the immune system and help fight off infectious diseases and viruses. The latest to make news is black elderberry (http://blackelderberry.info), the main ingredient in the dietary supplement Sambucol Black Elderberry (http://www.sambucolusa.com), which has twice the natural antioxidant capacity of blueberries and almost twice that of cranberries, according to the Dept. of Agriculture's ORAC rating (oxygen radical absorbance capacity).

Even better, you won't have to go berry picking to get this boost to your immune system now that Sambucol black elderberry dietary supplement (http://www.sambucolusa.com) is widely available in the U.S. Sambucol is the original black elderberry that was tested in published clinical trials and is made from a unique black elderberry extract - originally formulated by a virologist -- with a higher antioxidant capacity than most other fruits. Sambucol dietary supplements are produced from whole black elderberries and have the equivalent of up to 1,000 black elderberries in every 120 ml/4-ounce bottle and are manufactured using the same part of the plant, which has an impact on the consistency in quality and efficacy.

Here are some additional little-known facts about black elderberry:

•Throughout history, black elderberry has been used to treat colds, flu, fever, burns, cuts and more than 70 other maladies, from toothache to the plague. The medicinal benefits of the berry can be traced back to prehistoric times. Evidence of this use has been seen in Stone Age villages located at sites in Italy and Switzerland. Recipes were also discovered that showed black elderberry use in Ancient Egypt.

•The black elderberry, otherwise known as Sambucus nigra L, is a small shrub or bush that is native to most of Europe, northwest Africa and southwest Asia. It typically grows in areas that receive a lot of sunlight and can grow both in wet and dry fertile areas.

•In modern times, black elderberry has been used as a dietary supplement to help boost the immune system. Sambucol Black Elderberry is the original elderberry product sold in stores in more than 15 countries that has been researched and tested in published clinical trials showing it to help support the immune system. Sambucol's unique formulation and extraction process preserves and maximizes the naturally occurring health benefits of the berry.

•The Sambucol line of products (http://www.sambucolusa.com/sambucol-range.htm) is now widely available nationwide at major retailers, including health food stores, vitamin retailers including Vitamin Shoppe, pharmacy chains, including Rite Aid, Walgreens and CVS, independent drug stores, and online at drugstore.com. Go to www.sambucol.com for complete store availability and more information about the health benefits of black elderberry.

QuestNet Recognised as a Caring Corporate Citizen

QuestNet Recognised as a Caring Corporate Citizen

“Greed is Good,” exclaimed Gordon Gekko in the Hollywood take on the stock market and trading (Wall Street, released in 1987). The film is a seminal classic, but would this sentiment find favour today?

(PRWEB) February 25, 2009 -- “Greed is Good,” exclaimed Gordon Gekko in the Hollywood take on the stock market and trading (Wall Street, released in 1987). The film is a seminal classic, but would this sentiment find favour today?

During the heady and hedonistic eighties, these viewpoints found a lot of support due to the then common corporate and social culture. However, with present day attitudes, a perspective such as this would not find such broad appeal with the modern audience.

Changing corporate culture

In the 22 years since Wall Street hit the silver screen, we have witnessed many changes and advances in corporate society and governance. Corporate entities and companies seem to have found a genuine conscience and a social ‘voice’. Terms such as ‘Corporate Social Responsibility’ (CSR) are no longer just buzz terms that pay ‘lip service’, but are in fact agents of real change and a developing understanding amongst the corporate world that community service and ‘giving back’ is not just nice to have, but in fact a duty. As global organisations realise their increasing impact on the environment and the societies in which they operate, they are realising that it is part of their obligation to not only answer to their shareholders, but to the community at large.

As awareness is raised globally amongst corporate bodies and multinationals, we can switch on the news to see yet more examples of companies showing that greed is not good, and as a policy, is increasingly unsustainable. From the exhausted rainforest to the global fight over declining oil reserves, or from the worldwide necessity to control carbon emissions to our shrinking and fragile ecosystems – we are losing this global war.

As a result, more green policies are being taken up at a board-to-local level and companies are realising a real need to promote good citizenry. As a way of not only recognising companies that are doing this, but to encourage others to follow suit, is the Caring Company initiative (www.caringcompany.net). Sponsored by the Hong Kong Council of Social Service, the initiative’s mission is to recognise and promote good corporate citizenship and communicate beneficial behaviours into Hong Kong’s companies. The organisation now boasts more than 1,600 active caring companies (excluding caring organisations and not-for-profit members). Among those recently recognised was QuestNet’s Hong Kong headquarters.

What does it take to be considered a ‘Caring Company’?

The Caring Company initiative grades companies across six criteria, including the promotion of green operations; employee friendly companies with opportunities provided to those with disabilities; policies that reflect improvement of poverty and that enhance quality of living. A minimum of two criteria need to be achieved in order for a company to be successfully recognised as a Caring Company. One of the companies recently recognised by this initiative is QuestNet Hong Kong. For the second year running, QuestNet Hong Kong was recognised as Employee Friendly and Giving (Charity), providing proof that the headquarters of this global direct selling enterprise is thriving by caring more.
