A rich source of antioxidants known as anthocyanins, elderberry is effective in treating the common cold, flu, constipation, hay fever, and sinus infections. It is also useful in treating toothache, sciatica, and burns, among other things.
Many of elderberry’s health benefits can be attributed to anthocyanin. As an antioxidant, anthocyanin works by clearing the body of free radicals that damage cells at the DNA level.1 It also has antiviral properties that may prevent or reduce the severity of certain common infections.
Elderberry also exerts anti-inflammatory effects, reducing swelling and pain by tempering the body’s immune response. Anthocyanins are known to reduced inflammation and those in elderberry do so by inhibiting the production of nitric oxide by the body’s immune cells.
Nitric oxide serves as a signaling molecule that triggers inflammation in response to injury or disease. By tempering this response, pain and swelling may be relieved.
