Abstract

Crna bazga, botanički poznata kao Sambucus nigra, je listopadna, višegodišnja grmolika biljka, agresivan je korov i uspijeva gotovo na svim tlima u većem području svijeta s umjerenom i suptropskom klimom. Sadrži mnogobrojne biološki aktivni spojeve od kojih su najvažniji fenolne kiseline, flavonoli, antocijani i vitamini. Sadrži i blago toksične cijanogene glikozide pa se njihova toksičnost i štetnost mora strogo kontrolirati. Crna bazga se od davnina primjenjivala u tradicionalnoj medicini kao dijaforetik, diuretik te sredstvo protiv prehlade, kašlja, glavobolje i zubobolje. U novije vrijeme, istraživanja upućuju na njezino antioksidacijsko djelovanje te na učinkovitost ove biljke u liječenju drugih bolesti, uključujući tumor, dijabetes i pretilost, bakterijske i virusne bolesti, kardiovaskularne bolesti te u zaštiti od UV zračenja. Općenito se može zaključiti da crna bazga ima iznimno pozitivan učinak na jačanje imunološkog sustava.

Abstract (english)

Black elderberry, botanically known as Sambucus nigra is a deciduous, perennial shrubby plant, it is an aggressive weed and it grows on almost all soils throughout much of the world with a temperate and subtropical climate. It contains many biologically active compounds, of which the most important are phenolic acids, flavonoids, anthocyanins and vitamins. It also contains slightly toxic cyanogenic glycosides, so their toxicity and harmfulness must be strictly controlled. Black elderberry has long been used in traditional medicine as a diaphoretic, diuretic and cure for colds, coughs, headaches and toothaches. More recently, research has suggested the effectiveness of this plant in treating other diseases, including tumor, diabetes and obesity, bacterial and viral diseases, cardiovascular disease as an antioxidant and for protection against UV radiation. In general, it can be concluded that black elderberry has an extremely positive effect on boosting the immune system.
