About

Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) contains anthocyanins and polyphenols that activate immune cells and stimulate cytokine production. Its flavonoids may bind to and inhibit viral surface proteins. Meta-analysis of RCTs found elderberry supplementation substantially reduces upper respiratory symptom duration and severity.

How It Works

Anthocyanins and polyphenols activate immune cells and stimulate cytokine production; flavonoids bind to and may inhibit viral surface proteins, potentially reducing viral entry and replication.
