 Elderberries are rich in flavonoids, which are powerful antioxidants that act to boost the immune system and protect cells from damage. At the Federal Research Institute for Nutrition And Food, in Germany, black elderberry is being studied carefully. Dr Gerhard Rechkemmer is looking specifically at the antioxidants, called anthocyanins, that are found in the purple pigment of black elderberries. Anthocyanins actually boost the production of cytokines, the messengers that trigger the immune system to start fighting infection. Several studies have shown black elderberry extract activates the immune system by boosting production of cytokines (Barak 2001, Barak 2002). Research worldwide has shown black elderberry to be effective in shortening the duration of both influenza Type A and Type B. Below are some research highlights: 1995 Zakay-Rones: a study conducted during an outbreak of influenza B in Panama showed 93% of cases treated with black elderberry compound showed significant improvement of symptoms. A complete cure occurred within 2-3 days in almost 90% of cases treated with the extract 2004 Zakay-Rones: when black elderberry extract is used within the first 48 hours of the appearance of flu symptoms, the duration of the symptoms is significantly shortened, by an average of four days. People taking the extract took fewer pain killers, compared with those in the placebo group. 2009 Kong : black elderberry flavonoids specifically bind to the H1N1 virus (swine flu). The researchers found people who were given an elderberry extract showed significant improvement within two days, compared with those who were given a placebo. 2016 Tiralongo et al: this study showed an elderberry supplement, taken from 10 days before travel until 4-5 days after arriving overseas, reduced the duration and severity of cold symptoms in air travellers.
