Elderberry

Elderberry is the dark purple fruit of the black elder, Sambucus nigra. It is rich in anthocyanins and is mostly studied as an extract for colds and flu.

Also listed as Black Elderberry, Black Elderberry Extract, Black Elderberry Powder, Sambucus nigra

Is every elderberry product equivalent?

NIH describes reports of diluted or adulterated supplements, including products containing black rice extract instead of elderberry. The name on a product therefore does not guarantee that it matches a studied preparation. 1
