HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Elderberry Solid Extract by SuperiorLabs

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 11, 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 1 active ingredient.
  • “Proprietary Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (0.60 Gram(s)) without saying how much of each component you get.

SuperiorLabs Elderberry Solid Extract is a one-ingredient product: Elder (elderberry). It's prepared as a liquid extract from the ripe fruit of the elder plant.

The only other ingredient listed is vegetable glycerine, which is an inactive ingredient used to help deliver the extract.

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: supports healthy immune system function.
  • We looked for evidence on: Lower respiratory tract infections, Respiratory tract infections, Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), Rhinosinusitis, Colds, Influenza — and 1 related terms.
  • 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 Rhinosinusitis, Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), Lower respiratory tract infections.

The evidence on elderberry for most common uses isn't established enough to rate. Our data shows insufficient reliable evidence for allergic rhinitis (hay fever), cardiovascular disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, COPD, cognitive function, and respiratory tract infections.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means we don't have strong enough studies to say one way or the other.

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.

Properly prepared elderberry products made from ripe fruit are generally well tolerated. The main safety concern is raw or unripe berries, leaves, bark, and seeds — these contain compounds that can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, dizziness, and numbness.

Cooking eliminates this toxin, so this product (being an extract from ripe fruit) should be fine on that front. One case report linked long-term elderberry use to autoimmune hepatitis in someone with an underlying autoimmune disease, though this is rare.

Because there isn't enough safety data, elderberry supplements are best avoided during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you in those situations.

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.

Check with your pharmacist if you take immunosuppressants (drugs that suppress your immune system, often used after transplants or for autoimmune conditions) or pazopanib (Votrient, a cancer medication). Both have documented Moderate-severity interactions with elderberry.

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.

Elderberry extract may appeal to you if you're exploring immune support, but the evidence for its common uses isn't solid yet. If you take immunosuppressant medications or pazopanib, you'll need to check with your pharmacist first — this product could interfere with how they work.

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 Solid Extract by SuperiorLabs: Common Questions

Does Elderberry Solid Extract by SuperiorLabs interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Elderberry Solid Extract 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 Solid Extract 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.
Is this safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough reliable safety data on elderberry in pregnancy or breastfeeding, so it's best to avoid it in both situations. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this product is right for you if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing.
What does elderberry actually do?
Elderberry has immunostimulant activity — it increases production of immune signaling molecules. However, we don't have strong enough evidence to say it works reliably for hay fever, heart disease, fatigue, respiratory infections, or cognitive function.
Can raw elderberries be toxic?
Yes. Raw or unripe berries, seeds, leaves, and bark contain compounds that can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, dizziness, and numbness. This product is made from ripe fruit extract, so it shouldn't have that issue. Cooking also eliminates the toxin.
What are the side effects?
Extracts made from ripe elderberry fruit are generally well tolerated. Nausea and vomiting have been reported rarely in one combined product (with echinacea), but it's unclear which ingredient caused it. If you take this product long-term and have an underlying autoimmune disease, watch for signs of liver problems like jaundice or abdominal pain.
How many active ingredients are in this?
One — Elder (elderberry). Vegetable glycerine is an inactive ingredient that helps deliver the extract.
