π Elderberry is often promoted as a powerful immune booster, but what does the research actually say?
Elderberry contains compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, and some small studies suggest it may help reduce the duration or severity of certain cold and flu symptoms. However, there is no strong clinical evidence that elderberry directly binds to viruses, prevents them from entering cells, or stops infections.
More high quality human research is still needed.
