Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Elderberry answered by our experts
- Does elderberry help with colds and flu?
- Maybe a little. A 2016 trial in 312 air travelers found fewer total days with a cold on elderberry, but the number of colds did not differ significantly. A 2021 systematic review says elderberry may reduce the duration and severity of colds, but the evidence is uncertain. NCCIH describes the research as preliminary.
- What dose of elderberry should I take?
- No dose is established. NCCIH gives none, and products vary in strength. Follow the label and ask a clinician.
- Is elderberry safe?
- A 2021 review says elderberry may be a safe option for viral respiratory illness, but the evidence on benefits and harms is uncertain. Raw or unripe berries and other raw parts of the plant are poisonous; cooking removes the toxin (NCCIH).
- Can elderberry interact with medicines?
- NCCIH warns that some herbs and medicines interact in harmful ways and names no specific drug for elderberry. Ask a doctor before combining it with any medicine.
- Does elderberry overstimulate the immune system?
- A 2021 review found no evidence that it does, but the evidence on harms is uncertain. People with autoimmune conditions should ask a doctor first.
- Is elderberry safe in pregnancy or breastfeeding?
- Little is known about whether it is safe to use elderberry for health purposes during pregnancy or while breastfeeding (NCCIH). Ask a clinician first.
- Can elderberry prevent or treat COVID-19?
- No. NCCIH advises not to rely on elderberry for prevention or treatment of COVID-19.
