Whether you’re healthy and trying to ward off the flu or sick and want to stop that runny nose consider a natural remedy like elderberry. The ancient fruit that’s gaining popularity is a key ingredient in many immune-supporting supplements.

For centuries this fruit has been a common therapy in folk medicine to treat fever flu and nasal congestion. “Today elderberry is often added to dietary supplements and is primarily marketed to support immune health and prevent colds and flu” says Vanessa King MS RDN CDCES a registered dietitian nutritionist and spokesperson for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
