17. Elderberry

The flowers from the European elder or black elder shrub are becoming popular supplement ingredients—elderberry sales totaled $423,976 in 2003, a 14.6 percent increase from 2002. Blumenthal believes elderberry sales are poised to skyrocket for several reasons: “There’s an increasing amount of research coming out of Israel and Europe on the immunostimulating and immunomodulating effects of elderberry. It’s also very tasty. You can make a delicious herbal concoction with elderberry syrup.” A 1995 double-blind Israeli study found that 27 children and adults who took elderberry had half the recovery time from B Panama epidemic influenza than those who took placebo. Commission E Monograph and the British Herbal Compendium recommend dried, sifted elderberry flowers for colds and fever.
