Why do you take elderberry during flu season?

According to studies, elderberry has a potent direct antiviral effect against the flu virus. It inhibits the early stages of an infection by blocking key viral proteins responsible for both the viral attachment and entry into the host cells.

I love that Earthly shares the truth! Back in 2020, they received some serious heat for advocating for natural remedies. They never backed down. 💪

There are plenty of safe, effective natural ways to help alleviate flu symptoms.

Oseltamivir (tamiflu), only slightly reduces the duration of symptoms and comes with very serious side effects. 36% of children in one study experienced adverse reactions, including 6.8% with insomnia and 12.6% with neuropsychiatric symptoms. And the researchers concluded that this made the drug safe. Wow.

Using elderberry at the first sign of illness may help stop the flu. One study showed that elderberry was effective at warding off infection. Another study shows it had a “relatively strong effect.” Another study showed that patients using elderberry four times a day for five days had their symptoms relieved four days sooner than those taking placebo and needed less medication to cope with symptoms.

Research also shows that compounds from elderberries can directly inhibit the flu’s entry and replication in human cells, and can help strengthen a person’s immune response to the flu.

I am so sad to report that one of my favorite vendors, Olde Towne Drugs, has closed. Anna Claire really stood behind my elderberry syrup business and because of her, I have some very loyal customers. Y’all keep her in your prayers for the days ahead.
