Small, preliminary trials in people with the flu suggest that, taken within the first day or so of experiencing symptoms, elderberry shortens the duration of the flu, but more studies are needed to corroborate this.<\/p>\n<p>For people who do choose to try elderberry extract, it&#8217;s helpful to know that it appears to be generally well-tolerated. However, people who are allergic to grass pollen may have allergic reactions to elderberry. Never consume raw elderberries, as these contain toxic compounds that can cause nausea, vomiting, dizziness and diarrhea.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Be sure to check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/medicinalherbinfo.org\/000Herbs2016\/1herbs\/elder\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">full page about Elderberry<\/a> to learn more about it.<\/p>\n<h3>Resource Links<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elsevier.com\/about\/press-releases\/research-and-journals\/recent-research-points-the-way-toward-a-practical-nutraceutical-strategy-for-coping-with-rna-virus-infections-including-influenza-and-coronavirus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Elsevier: Recent research points the way toward a practical nutraceutical strategy for coping with RNA virus infections including influenza and coronavirus<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/publication\/230841730_Anti-Influenza_Virus_Effects_of_Elderberry_Juice_and_Its_Fractions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ResearchGate: Anti-Influenza Virus Effects of Elderberry Juice and Its Fractions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.consumerlab.com\/answers\/do-natural-remedies-or-supplements-prevent-coronavirus\/natural-remedies-coronavirus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ConsumerLab.com: Natural Remedies and Supplements for Coronavirus (COVID-19)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mdanderson.elsevierpure.com\/en\/publications\/antiviral-activity-of-sambucus-formosananakai-ethanol-extract-and\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MD Anderson Cancer Center: Antiviral activity of Sambucus FormosanaNakai ethanol extract and related phenolic acid constituents against human coronavirus NL63<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.consumerlab.com\/reviews\/elderberry-supplements-reviewed\/elderberry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ConsumerLab.com: Tests and Reviews of Popular Elderberry Supplements &#038; CL&#8217;s Top Picks<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><center>\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4390707348229770\"\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><br \/>\n<!-- MHI-wide-728x90 --><br \/>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:728px;height:90px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4390707348229770\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"5012760358\"><\/ins><br \/>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to recent research studies, another promising herb to help treat coronavirus is elderberry.
