Finding and Utilizing Elderberries (Sambucus nigra)

from BIOACTIVE · host Riley D. Kirk, Ph.D.

On this episode I am joined by my other half Jake. We have a very dynamic relationship as he studies wildlife biology and I study natural product chemistry. Jake works as a wildlife biologist, and a large portion of his job involves evaluating habitat types... which is relevant for todays episode. We will do many other episodes with Jake in the future. Apart from his day job as a biologist, Jake also is a science communicator and educator. He teaches about the sustainability and renewable resources on the landscape. Elderberries, and all other components of the plant do contain some toxic compounds and should not be consumed raw. If you are on medications, consider asking your doctor or herbalist before trying elderberry supplements. My recipe for elderberry syrup is now available on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/cannabichem This episode in sponsored by Boveda humidity packs, if you want to try Boveda, check them out at www.BovedaInc.com.

From the nutrient-rich green-lipped mussel to advanced bioactive testing at the Zealife Institute, each episode uncovers the stories, science, and sustainability behind some of the world’s most powerful natural health solutions. Prof Johnathan Napier - Fish oils and seeds for healthy foods Omega-3 fatty acids - obtained from fish oils - are vital for human health, but there is no sustainable production system in place for them. Fisheries are not run sustainably, and the marine environment is suffering from pollution which can accumulate in fish. Unfortunately, popular plant oils such as flax and linseed lack the bioactive omega-3 fatty acids that humans need. We need an alternative and sustainable source of these important compounds to tackle the health issues of the 21st century.Prof Johnathan Napier works at Rothamsted Research in Hertfordshire, a government-funded insitution and the oldest agricultural research station in the world. He and his group have been working to engineer transgenic plants to accumulate omega-3 fatty acids.
