HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Elderberry Whole-Food Gummies by New Chapter

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 1 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • “Organic Fruit Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (4,700 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This gummy has 3 active ingredients: organic apple juice and puree concentrate, organic elderberry juice concentrate, and organic ElderCraft European elderberry extract. The apple provides some fruit base and natural sweetness, while the two elderberry components are the main botanical actives.

The product also contains inactive ingredients — pectin (for texture), organic rice flour, and organic lemon juice concentrate — which are fillers and binders that give the gummy its form.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
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 assessable

We hold no graded evidence for this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: immune support.
  • We looked for evidence on: Immune function, Infection prevention, Cold and flu.
  • Our graded evidence for these ingredients doesn't cover that particular purpose.

The evidence for elderberry itself isn't established in our data for the conditions typically claimed — we hold no effectiveness ratings for these ingredients against Alzheimer's disease, cancer, dental plaque, diabetes, or diarrhea. For the apple juice component, we also have insufficient reliable evidence to rate it for any health condition.

If you're considering this gummy for a specific health goal, talk with your pharmacist about what the research actually supports.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Apple

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.

Apple as a food is generally well tolerated in normal amounts. The most common side effects are bloating and flatulence.

Rarely, people allergic to other fruits in the Rosaceae family — apricot, almond, plum, peach, pear, or strawberry — may also react to apples, and in rare cases this can be severe (anaphylaxis). Whole apples are considered safe in pregnancy and while breastfeeding, but we don't have enough study of concentrated apple extracts in these situations, so talk with your doctor if you're pregnant or nursing.

We have no safety data on file for the elderberry ingredients.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Apple

Meds to double-check

Major interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Apple.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 300 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 before taking this if you use OATP substrates (fexofenadine, aliskiren, and others in that class) — apple juice can cut their blood levels sharply. Also double-check antihypertensive drugs (blood pressure medications), diabetes medications, atenolol (Tenormin), and lithium.

If you take any of these, talk to your pharmacist or doctor before starting.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no assessable stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

If you take fexofenadine, atenolol, aliskiren, lithium, or other blood pressure or diabetes medications, you'll want to check your exact drugs before using this product — the apple juice can significantly lower how much medication gets into your bloodstream. Even if you're just using it for general wellness, run any prescription through our checker first.

Your pharmacist can tell you whether the timing or dose needs adjusting.

organic Apple juice & puree concentrate7 drug types · 300 drugs

Organic Anion-Transporting Polypeptide Substrates (Oatp)

Concomitant consumption of apple juice can significantly decrease oral absorption and blood levels of OATP substrates.
Research shows that consuming apple juice inhibits OATP, which reduces bioavailability of oral drugs that are substrates of OATP. Fexofenadine, atenolol, and aliskiren are substrates of OATP. Clinical research shows that coadministration of apple juice decreases bioavailability of fexofenadine by up to 78%, aliskiren by 63%, and atenolol by up to 82%. These effects appear to increase with larger quantities of apple juice. It is thought that apple juice might affect OATP for only a short time. Therefore, separating drug administration and consumption of apple juice by at least 4 hours might avoid this interaction.

Likelihood Likely Evidence B
Aliskiren (Tekturna, Rasilez)

Concomitant consumption of apple juice can significantly decrease oral absorption and blood levels of aliskiren.
Pharmacokinetic research shows that coadministration of apple juice 200 mL along with aliskiren 150 mg decreases the bioavailability of aliskiren by 63%. Apple juice seems to inhibit organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP), which is involved in drug uptake in the gut, liver, and kidney. It is thought that apple juice might affect OATP for only a short time. Therefore, separating drug administration and consumption of apple juice by at least 4 hours might avoid this interaction.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Antidiabetes Drugs

Theoretically, consuming apple juice with antidiabetes drugs might interfere with blood glucose control.
Clinical research suggests that consuming apples or drinking apple juice can raise blood glucose levels, with the effects of drinking apple juice being more significant than consuming apples.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antihypertensive Drugs

Consuming apple juice with antihypertensive drugs might interfere with blood pressure control.
Some clinical evidence suggests that consuming apple and cherry juice can increase blood pressure in elderly patients.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Atenolol (Tenormin)

Concomitant consumption of apple juice can significantly decrease oral absorption and blood levels of atenolol.
Pharmacokinetic research shows that coadministration of apple juice 600-1200 mL decreases levels of atenolol by 58% to 82% in a dose-dependent manner. Apple juice seems to inhibit organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP), which is involved in drug uptake in the gut, liver, and kidney. It is thought that apple juice might affect OATP for only a short time. Therefore, separating drug administration and consumption of apple juice by at least 4 hours might avoid this interaction.

Likelihood Probable Evidence B
Fexofenadine (Allegra)

Concomitant consumption of apple juice can significantly decrease oral absorption and blood levels of fexofenadine.
Pharmacokinetic research shows that coadministration of apple juice 400-1200 mL along with fexofenadine 60-120 mg decreases bioavailability of fexofenadine by up to 78%. Coadministration with smaller quantities of apple juice (150 mL or less) does not appear to affect the bioavailability of fexofenadine. Apple juice seems to inhibit organic anion transporting polypeptide (OATP), which is involved in drug uptake in the gut, liver, and kidney. It is thought that apple juice might affect OATP for only a short time. Therefore, separating drug administration and consumption of apple juice by at least 4 hours might avoid this interaction.

Likelihood Likely Evidence B
Lithium

There is some concern that concomitant consumption of apple juice might decrease oral absorption and blood levels of lithium.
In one case report, a patient had an undetectable serum lithium level when lithium citrate was administered with apple juice. When lithium was administered with an alternative beverage, the lithium level became detectable and the patient demonstrated clinical improvement.

Organic Elderberry Whole-Food Gummies by New Chapter: Common Questions

Does Organic Elderberry Whole-Food Gummies by New Chapter interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Organic Elderberry Whole-Food Gummies has a known interaction with 300 medications, including 47 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Organic Elderberry Whole-Food Gummies contains 3 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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 with my blood pressure or heart medication?
It depends on which one. The apple juice in these gummies can lower the blood levels of several heart and blood pressure drugs — especially atenolol (Tenormin) — by a lot. Look up your exact medication on this page, or ask your pharmacist before you start.
What's the difference between the two elderberry ingredients?
One is elderberry juice concentrate and the other is an extract made by New Chapter called ElderCraft European Elderberry. Both are the active botanicals in this gummy, but we don't hold interaction data for either one, so we can't tell you how they might affect your medications specifically.
Does this have a lot of fillers?
The inactive ingredients are pectin (which makes the gummy texture), organic rice flour, and lemon juice concentrate. That's a pretty standard list for a gummy — nothing unusual there.
Is it safe to take while pregnant?
Whole apples are considered safe in pregnancy, but this product has a concentrated apple extract and we don't have enough study data on those in pregnancy. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist to decide whether it's right for you — they know your individual situation.
Can I take this if I'm allergic to other fruits?
If you're allergic to fruits in the Rosaceae family — apricot, almond, plum, peach, pear, or strawberry — you may also react to the apple in this product. Reactions are rare but can be serious, so mention it to your pharmacist.
What side effects should I watch for?
The most common are bloating and gas from the apple. Allergic reactions to apple are rare but can happen, especially if you have a related fruit allergy. If you notice swelling, hives, or trouble breathing, stop and seek help right away.
