HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Elderberry Strawberry Flavor by TerraVita

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

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This liquid contains one active ingredient: elderberry glycerite liquid extract. Glycerin and strawberry flavor make up the rest of the product — these are inactive ingredients that help with taste and preservation, not therapeutic action.

Does it work?

Insufficient evidence
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
Insufficient

There isn't enough reliable clinical evidence to rate this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: immune support and respiratory health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), Lower respiratory tract infections, Respiratory tract infections, Rhinosinusitis, flu, common cold — 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 for elderberry isn't established yet for the uses studied — hay fever, heart disease, chronic fatigue, COPD, memory, and respiratory infections all carry insufficient evidence ratings in the data we hold. That doesn't mean elderberry doesn't work for these; it means the research so far hasn't been strong enough to say either way.

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 from ripe fruit is generally well tolerated. The main risk comes from raw or unripe berries, seeds, leaves, and bark, which contain toxins that cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, dizziness, and numbness — cooking eliminates these toxins, and this product is a prepared extract so that shouldn't apply.

There's one case report of a woman who developed liver inflammation after taking elderberry for years alongside an autoimmune disease, though the link wasn't proven. Avoid elderberry supplements during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — there isn't enough safety data to know either way, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's 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 doctor or pharmacist before using this product if you take immunosuppressants (drugs that weaken your immune system for transplant or autoimmune disease) or pazopanib (a cancer drug). These carry Moderate interaction risk with elderberry.

Because the full medication list spans a wide range of drug types, run your specific prescriptions through the search tool on this page to be sure.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with insufficient evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

TerraVita Elderberry Strawberry Flavor works best for people not on immunosuppressants or pazopanib, and it should be checked against your exact medication list first. The evidence for what it may help with isn't strong yet, but the product itself is generally well tolerated when properly prepared.

If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or on any prescription medications — especially immune-suppressing drugs or cancer therapies — talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting.

Elderberry Glycerite Liquid Extract2 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 Strawberry Flavor by TerraVita: Common Questions

Does Elderberry Strawberry Flavor by TerraVita interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Elderberry Strawberry Flavor 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 Strawberry Flavor 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 during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough reliable safety data for elderberry in pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so the safety information advises against it. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your individual situation — they can help you weigh the risks and benefits.
What's in this product besides elderberry?
Glycerin and strawberry flavor. These are inactive ingredients used for taste and to keep the liquid stable — they're not therapeutic.
Does elderberry actually work for colds or the flu?
The evidence for respiratory tract infections hasn't been strong enough to say either way. The research so far doesn't rate as reliable, so we can't tell you it will or won't help.
What should I watch for if I take this?
Since this is a properly prepared extract, side effects are uncommon. The concern is mainly with raw or unripe berries (which this product isn't). If you're on an immunosuppressant or pazopanib, that's a different story — check with your doctor or pharmacist first.
Can I use this if I take a lot of medications?
Not without checking first. This product interacts with a broad range of medications — 121 in total across its ingredient. Use the search tool on this page to look up your exact prescriptions, or ask your pharmacist to run them for you.
