Elderberry, also known as Sambucus nigra, is a plant native to Europe, Africa and parts of Asia, but it has also become common in the US. It has deciduous leaves, white flowers (known as elderflowers) and berries that turn from green to red to black when ripe. The tree can grow up to 32 feet tall, and is also called black elder, European elder, European elderberry and European black elderberry.
The fruit of the elderberry tree contains quercetin, kaempferol, rutin and phenolic acids. It also contains flavonoids that have antioxidant properties that can help to prevent cell damage and anthocyanidins, which are chemical compounds known to have immune-boosting properties. Elderberries are naturally high in vitamins C, A, and B6, as well as potassium and iron, among several other essential nutrients. Among the usages listed above, elderberry is also used as a natural laxative, to encourage healthy skin, to ease allergies, and to help improve heart health.
There are no serious side effects from taking elderberries, though only the ripe, cooked berries are edible.
As is the case with taking any supplement while you are pregnant or breastfeeding or taking medication, you should always consult with your healthcare professional prior to usage.
