HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Elderberry 750 by Purely Beneficial

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 23, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 2 active ingredients.
  • “Elderberry Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (750 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This 2-ingredient capsule contains elderberry extract and elderberry as its active ingredients, along with methylcellulose as an inactive binder. The extract form concentrates the active compounds from the ripe berries, while the capsule makes it convenient to take.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Elderberry's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Immune support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Respiratory tract infections, Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), Lower respiratory tract infections, Colds, Influenza.
  • The closest evidence on file: Elderberry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Respiratory tract infections (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Elderberry is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), Lower respiratory tract infections.

The evidence for elderberry's effectiveness isn't established yet in the data we hold. Claims about hay fever, heart disease, chronic fatigue, COPD, brain function, and respiratory tract infections all have insufficient reliable evidence to rate them.

That doesn't mean elderberry doesn't work — it means the studies so far haven't been strong enough to say for certain.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Elderberry

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Elderberry extracts made from ripe fruit are generally well tolerated. The real risk comes from raw or unripe berries, seeds, leaves, or bark — those contain compounds (cyanogenic glycosides) that cooking destroys, and can cause nausea, vomiting, severe diarrhea, weakness, dizziness, numbness, and confusion.

This product should be safe on that front if it's properly prepared. There isn't enough reliable safety data to recommend elderberry supplements during pregnancy or while breastfeeding — the evidence just isn't there either way.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it if you're pregnant or nursing. One rare case report linked elderberry to liver inflammation in someone with an underlying autoimmune disease, though that's uncommon.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Elderberry

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Elderberry.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: immunosuppressants / transplant drugs.
  • For scale: 121 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking Elderberry 750, double-check with your pharmacist or doctor if you take immunosuppressants or pazopanib (Votrient). Both are Moderate severity concerns — the supplement may interfere with how these medications work.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you're on an immunosuppressant (like after a transplant) or taking pazopanib for cancer, you'll want to clear this with your doctor or pharmacist first. Elderberry extracts from ripe fruit are generally well tolerated, but we don't yet have solid evidence it works for the conditions people often take it for.

Talk it over with your own provider before starting — they know your health picture best.

Elderberry Blend2 drug types · 121 drugs

Immunosuppressants

Theoretically, elderberry might interfere with immunosuppressant therapy due to its immunostimulant activity.
Elderberry has immunostimulant activity, increasing the production of cytokines, including interleukin and tumor necrosis factor.

Likelihood Possible Evidence B
Pazopanib (Votrient)

Theoretically, elderberry might interact with pazopanib, potentially increasing the risk of adverse effects.
In one case, a 65-year-old patient taking pazopanib for 4 weeks for soft-tissue sarcoma developed severe nausea, loose stools, and elevated alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase levels and was diagnosed with grade 3 liver injury. The patient reported taking elderberry supplements for 2 years, dose unspecified, and was also taking a multivitamin and a calcium supplement. The patient's symptoms and liver enzyme levels improved upon discontinuation of pazopanib and all supplements. Pazopanib treatment was re-initiated, at a lower dose, with no further evidence of liver injury. It was unclear in this case report if the elderberry supplements were derived from the berry, the flower, or the combination.

Elderberry 750 by Purely Beneficial: Common Questions

Does Elderberry 750 by Purely Beneficial interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Elderberry 750 has a known interaction with 121 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Elderberry 750 contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this while pregnant?
There isn't enough reliable safety information on elderberry supplements in pregnancy to say it's safe. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this is right for you — they can weigh the risks and benefits for your situation.
Can I take this while breastfeeding?
Same situation as pregnancy — there's not enough reliable safety data. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it.
What side effects might I get?
Properly prepared elderberry extracts from ripe fruit are generally well tolerated and side effects are uncommon. If you ingest raw or unripe berries, seeds, leaves, or bark, you could get nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, dizziness, or numbness — but those shouldn't be in this product if it's made correctly.
Does elderberry actually work for colds or the flu?
The evidence isn't there yet — we hold insufficient reliable evidence to say it works for respiratory tract infections or other common reasons people take it. That doesn't mean it doesn't; it means the research hasn't been strong enough to confirm it.
I have an autoimmune disease. Is this safe for me?
Because elderberry stimulates your immune system, it might not be the right choice if you're managing an autoimmune condition. One rare case report linked it to liver inflammation in someone with underlying autoimmune disease. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before taking it.
