Elderberry

Influenza

Randomized study of the efficacy and safety of oral elderberry extract in the treatment of influenza A and B virus infections. 2004, Zakay-Rones, J Int Med Res

A small, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of treatment of influenza with elderberry extract.
Elderberry extract shortened the duration of influenza by 4 days compared to placebo. [1], [2], [3], [4].
For comparison, Tamiflu shortens influenza by 17 hours, at the same time increasing the risk of psychiatric complications and renal insufficiency. However, governments spend millions of dollars to stock up on Tamiflu, and nobody is stocking up on elderberry.
