What are the Benefits of Elderberry?
The elderberry plant has been long used in traditional medicine for pain relief, inflammation, and as a diuretic.Here are more potential benefits of elderberries:
Studies suggest that elderberries have antiviral and antimicrobial properties, and have been generally recognized as safe by the FDA.
Elderberries contain anthrocyanins, which give the berries their signature dark-blue color. Research suggests that they contain anti-inflammatory properties and may help promote heart health.
Elderbery contains flavonols, including quercetin, which is thought to help reduce inflammation. In one study of women with rheumatoid arthritis, a quercetin supplement helped to reduce stiffness and pain.
One study suggests that elderberry may have anti-depressant effects.
