What is Elderberry and where does it come from?
Elderberry comes from the Sambucus tree, which is a plant in the Adoxaceae family.
Although Elderberry grows across North Africa, Asia and America, it is native to Europe and the most common variety is the black elderberry (Sambucus nigra) or European elder [1].
Elderberry hosts an impressive nutritional profile. The fruits are dense in vitamins and minerals such as carotenoids (provitamin a), vitamin c, phosphorus, iron potassium, calcium and more [2].
Elderberry flowers, berries and leaves also contain lots of antioxidants (anthocyanins, phenolics & flavonoids) that can help balance the immune system and lower oxidative stress [3].
John Evelyn (a british researcher in the 17th century) said: “If the medicinal properties of its leaves, bark and berries (elderberry) were fully known, I cannot tell what our country man could ail for which he might not fetch a remedy, either for sickness or wounds.”
Its use has been widespread throughout history, with elderberry based medication records dating as far back as Ancient Egypt, it’s been used to help treat fevers, flus, colds, cuts, burns and toothache.

People mainly use Elderberry to:
Boost Their Immune System
Air traveling puts the immune system under enormous stress. Those who fly frequently (and especially long distance) are more susceptible to the common cold.
A double-blind placebo-controlled study on air travelers showed that Elderberry supplementation reduced cold symptoms and duration [7].
Another double-blind placebo-controlled study tested the efficacy of 15 ml of Elderberry extract syrup, given 4 times a day to 60 patients who were suffering from influenza-like symptoms.
The control group who did not take elderberry extract took 7-8 days to improve, compared to 2-4 days for those who took the syrup [8]
A different study on elderberry extract and the reduction of influenza b symptoms showed that those given the elderberry extract recovered in 2-3 days, compared to at least 6 days in the placebo group [9].
A study on rats showed elderberry polyphenols supported immune defense by increasing the number of white blood cells [10].
Promote Heart Health
Elderberry may improve some markers of blood vessels and heart health.
Diets high in flavonoids such as anthocyanins (which are found in elderberries) have been shown to reduce the risk of heart problems [11].
Numerous studies have shown that elderberry juice can help reduce the total level of fat in the blood, while decreasing cholesterol [12].
Type-2 diabetes is one of the major contributors to heart and vascular problems, so blood sugar management is imperative to eliminate the risk of contracting these problems.
Various studies on mice have shown that elderberries can help improve blood sugar levels while increasing insulin secretion [13].
