Please not that our Black Elderberry extract is more concentrated and higher strenth than the product discussed in the below information: 12/12/2003 - The black elderberry extract tested has been shown to reduce symptoms and shorten duration of flu, according to a new study to be published in The Journal of International Medical Research.

On average, flu patients given Elderberry Extract recovered in 3.1 days compared to 7.1 days for those given placebo, showed the study. Researchers at the University of Oslo School of Medicine in Norway enrolled 54 patients with type A flu and six with type B (29 females and 31 males, aged 18 to 54 years) in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study.

Study participants were randomly assigned to two groups, with one given Elderberry Extact (1 tbsp) and the other a placebo, four times a day for five days. No significant side effects were reported.

A previous study published by The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that nearly 90 per cent of flu patients given Elderberry Extract were completely free of symptoms within two to three days, as compared to at least six days with placebo.

Dr Madeleine Mumcuoglu, the virologist that developed the extract, said: "Flu viruses are covered by tiny protein spikes of hemagglutinin, which they use to attach to, and infect, healthy human cells. While working on my doctoral thesis we isolated key active substances within black elderberry that disarm hemagglutinin and thus stop the first step of viral invasion."

Black elderberry has not, however, been tested as a flu preventative, nor is it intended as a substitute for flu vaccine.

The supplement is available in formulas from herb farms for children and adults and has no known side effects or negative interactions. It contains a compound that was recognized by Dr Mumcuoglu, which is also known for its high anthocyanin content.
