Clinical Research Summary

Elderberry has shown antiviral properties against influ-enza A and B in a number of clinical trials that found it effective and safe.1 The anthocyanin flavonoids in elder-berry seem to be the main active ingredients in its ability to interfere with the virus’ ability to infect host cells.2,3 These flavonoids also incorporate themselves into cells and tissue to provide protective antioxidant and anti- inflammatory effects.3,4

A 2007 meta-analysis of Echinacea species for the common cold looked at 14 studies that included 1,356 people for the incidence of colds and 1,630 people for the duration of colds. Five of these studies used the fresh pressed juice of E. purpurea. The results showed that Echinacea reduced the chance of catching a cold by 58 percent and decreased the duration of the cold by 1.4 days.5 A 2006 Cochrane Review of Echinacea concluded that Echinacea purpurea was superior to other species of Echinacea in treating the common cold.6

Licorice has traditionally been used for cold, cough, and sore throat symptoms7 as it has soothing, expectorant properties. A clinical trial with 40 adults investigated the effects of licorice on sore throat and found it significantly improved sore throat incidence and severity.8
