Elderberry reduces cold duration
Elderberry Supplementation Reduces Cold Duration and Symptoms in Air-Travellers: A Randomized, Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial.
Most Relevant Research
We explored whether elderberry could help reduce the duration and severity of colds for economy class passengers traveling internationally. In a well-structured randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial involving 312 participants, we looked at how a standardized elderberry extract affected respiratory health during air travel.
Participants tracked their cold episodes, duration, and symptoms in daily diaries, using a scoring method to quantify their experiences. They also completed surveys about their upper respiratory symptoms and quality of life at different points: before traveling and four days post-travel.
While we noted that the group taking the placebo experienced more cold episodes, the difference wasn't statistically significant. However, those taking elderberry had a significantly shorter duration of cold days and a lower average symptom score overall, suggesting that elderberry may significantly lessen the impact of colds during air travel.
Further research is essential to validate our findings and to better understand the broader health benefits of elderberry, both physical and mental.

Earache relief
Most Useful Review
Quite like witchcraft! I had always heard of elderberry's wonders during the cold/flu season. Sceptical, I tried it after suffering a terrible earache for a week. Everything else failed, including antibiotics and cold medicine. I ordered elderberry, and the very next morning, my earache was gone. I was dumbfounded! I will definitely continue taking it to enhance my immunity. Thank you!

Elderberry aids COPD symptoms
Clinical Effectiveness of a Combination of Black Elder Berries, Violet Herb, and Calendula Flowers in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: The Results of a Double-Blinded Placebo-Controlled Study.
Most Relevant Research
In our recent study, we investigated the potential benefits of a natural preparation called Inflaminat, which includes black elderberry, violet herb, and calendula flowers, on cough and other symptoms of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Conducted over six months, this randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial involved 60 patients with moderate COPD.
We observed that those taking Inflaminat experienced a significant improvement in their symptoms as measured by the Breathlessness, Cough, and Sputum Scale. Specifically, their scores decreased from an average of 3.0 to 1.9, indicating less breathlessness and fewer cough symptoms. Additionally, their lung function improved, with a marked increase in the FEV1 measurement from 66% to 73%.
Importantly, participants in the placebo group showed no similar improvements, reinforcing the effectiveness of the natural remedy. Furthermore, we found no side effects associated with the preparation. Our findings suggest that herbal remedies, particularly those containing elderberry, could be valuable in alleviating cough and improving respiratory function in patients suffering from COPD.

Cough disappeared
Most Useful Review
I absolutely love this product! After getting a cold, I started taking elderberry syrup to help recover. My partner usually has a lingering cough post-cold, but this time his cough disappeared along with the cold. I took it early in my illness, and my symptoms lasted less than a week. I’ve been taking it regularly since as I'm around many who are sick, hoping to stay healthy.

Elderberry inhibits H1N1 flu infection
Elderberry flavonoids bind to and prevent H1N1 infection in vitro.
Most Relevant Research
We delved into how elderberry, specifically from the black elderberry fruit, impacts the flu virus, H1N1. Using an innovative technique called Direct Analysis in Real Time Mass Spectrometry (DART TOF-MS), we were able to identify the powerful anti-viral properties of elderberry extract without the need for complicated processes like separation or derivatization.
Our findings revealed that elderberry extract does indeed inhibit H1N1 infection in a lab setting, with an effective concentration (IC50) of 252 micrograms per milliliter. Interestingly, we discovered that flavonoids present in the elderberry bind to H1N1 virions—essentially blocking their ability to infect host cells.
Among the compounds, two key flavonoids emerged: the 5,7,3',4'-tetra-O-methylquercetin and dihydromyricetin. These compounds not only bound to the virus but also effectively prevented infection. Notably, the tetra-O-methylquercetin demonstrated an impressive IC50 of just 0.13 micrograms per milliliter, which is comparable to well-known antiviral medications like Oseltamivir and Amantadine.
In summary, elderberry shows promising potential as a natural remedy against the H1N1 flu, offering a fascinating area for further research and utilization in flu prevention strategies.

Let me tell you a story. I had always heard about elderberry's wonders for immune support during cold and flu season, but I was sceptical. After suffering from a terrible earache for a week, I decided to try elderberry. I ordered it and took the recommended drops late at night. The next morning, I could drink water without pain, which was unbelievable! This has now become part of my routine to build my immunity. Thank you!

Reduced ear infections
Most Useful Review
This truly works for both adults and children! I recommend it. My 2.5-year-old toddler was continually congested and suffered recurrent ear infections, requiring antibiotics every other month. I realised I had to boost his immunity, so I started giving him this product along with Mary Ruth multivitamins. Since then, he has not been congested at all. I have yet to try this during winter, but I am confident I won't be disappointed. Here's to good health!

Immune system boost
Most Useful Review
Must have for flu season. I can't recommend this product or the company highly enough! I discovered elderberry on Amazon, and I now believe in its benefits. After a few days of using the drops, my husband felt unwell. I suggested the drops, and he took them; within hours, he felt better. He continued taking them for three days and was fully recovered. My son, who has asthma and allergies, has been using these drops to help boost his immune system to avoid steroid treatments. We're very pleased and even ordered more bottles for this COVID-19 season. I highly recommend these non-GMO, sugar-free, delicious organic elderberry drops.

Elderberry may help anxiety
Elderberry diet improves gut-brain axis dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and cognitive impairment in the rat model of irritable bowel syndrome.
Most Relevant Research
We explored the effects of elderberry on anxiety in a study that involved three groups of rats: a control group, an irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) group, and an IBS group that received an elderberry diet. To induce IBS, we used a method involving acetic acid. After allowing some time for the IBS condition to develop, we introduced elderberry extract into the diets of the rats for eight weeks.
Our findings revealed that the elderberry diet significantly improved locomotion and reduced anxiety-like behavior in the IBS rats. We observed that the elderberry treatment led to a decrease in the inflammatory marker TNF-α and promoted a healthier mucosal layer in the colon, alongside an increase in beneficial cells. Furthermore, in the brain, elderberry appeared to prevent damage associated with IBS, maintaining the health of neurons in the hippocampus and cortex.
Although more research is needed to unpack the exact mechanisms of elderberry, our results suggest that this berry could serve as a promising way to alleviate anxiety and other IBS symptoms linked to dysfunctions in the gut-brain axis. Overall, elderberry shows potential as a natural remedy worth considering for those dealing with IBS-related anxiety.

Elderberry may reduce cold symptoms
Elderberry Supplementation Reduces Cold Duration and Symptoms in Air-Travellers: A Randomized, Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial.
Most Relevant Research
This study implemented a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled design to explore whether elderberry supplements could improve respiratory health for air travelers. We observed 312 economy class passengers traveling from Australia to an overseas destination, aiming to see if a standardized elderberry extract could lessen the duration and severity of cold episodes.
Participants recorded their cold symptoms in daily diaries and completed surveys measuring their upper respiratory conditions and overall quality of life at various points before and after travel. While both groups experienced cold episodes, it was notable that those taking the placebo had a longer duration of symptoms and reported feeling worse overall. Specifically, the placebo group faced cold symptoms for an average of 117 days, compared to just 57 days for those receiving elderberry, and their average symptom scores were substantially higher.
Our analysis points to the potential benefits of elderberry in reducing both the duration and severity of cold symptoms for people traveling by air. However, additional research is necessary to confirm these findings and delve deeper into the possible effects of elderberry on both physical and mental health.
