  •   This review paper evaluated 12 botanicals and neutraceutical interventions as potential treatments for COVID-19. This paper synthesized the literature quite well.
  •   While some studies mentioned a potential cytokine storm that results from elderberry treatment, that same study group refuted that observation later on.  
  •   Studies summarized show that elderberry favorably modulates cellular defenses and repair mechanisms, and also favorably modulates viral-induced pathological processes.
  •   Concludes that there is strong evidence that elderberry could be beneficial.
