Elderberry Extract
for Cold & Flu
Standardised elderberry (Sambucus nigra) extract or syrup used to reduce the duration and severity of cold and flu symptoms.
How it works
Elderberry flavonoids inhibit viral replication, stimulate cytokine production, and may block viral attachment to host cell receptors, shortening illness duration.
What to watch for
Most evidence is for influenza; less data for the common cold. Avoid uncooked elderberries which contain cyanogenic glycosides. Quality varies between products.
