The fruit that prevents viruses from entering and attaching to human cells (Page 2 ) | May 21, 2025

Immune Support from Elderberries
Scientific studies have confirmed that elderberries have antiviral properties that help combat infections. Research from the University of Sydney, led by Dr. Golnoosh Torabian, found that elderberries have a direct and powerful effect on influenza viruses.

The study showed that elderberry extract interferes with the initial stages of infection. It prevents viruses from attaching to and entering human cells by disrupting key viral proteins.

How Elderberry Blocks Viruses: Key Research Findings
Researchers applied elderberry extract to flu viruses and observed that while it had some preventive effect before the virus entered cells, its most significant impact occurred after infection had begun.

The extract was highly effective in halting the spread of the virus within the body. Co-author Dr. Peter Valtchev called the findings both surprising and promising, emphasizing that targeting multiple stages of a virus’s development could greatly increase the chances of stopping it.

The study also highlighted that elderberry enhances the body’s immune response by promoting the production of cytokines—proteins that help regulate immunity and inflammation.

The powerful compounds responsible for these benefits are anthocyanidins, natural pigments in the plant known for their antiviral and antioxidant effects.
