HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Sambucus Traditional Elderberry Immune Syrup Zero Sugar by Nature's Way
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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product has one active ingredient: black elderberry extract. The extract is made from ripe elderberries and is designed to support immune function.
The remaining ingredients are inactive — sorbitol and glycerin for sweetness and texture, water, natural flavors, citric acid for taste, and potassium sorbate to preserve it.
Does it work?
Insufficient evidence
The evidence we hold doesn't establish that elderberry works reliably for any condition listed in our data — that includes hay fever, heart health, fatigue, lung disease, brain function, or colds and respiratory infections. Each of these carries a rating of insufficient reliable evidence.
That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the studies we have aren't robust enough to say so.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Properly prepared elderberry extracts from ripe fruit are generally well tolerated, and this product is cooked (which removes any natural toxins). The main risk is from raw or unripe berries, seeds, leaves, or bark — which this product doesn't contain.
We don't have enough safety data to recommend elderberry during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, so talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it in those situations. A rare case report links elderberry to autoimmune hepatitis (liver inflammation) in someone with an underlying autoimmune disease, so if you have that kind of condition, flag this product with your doctor first.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Check your exact medications before using this product if you take immunosuppressants (such as those after transplant or for autoimmune disease) or pazopanib (Votrient), a cancer medication — both carry Moderate-severity interaction concerns. Use the medication search tool on this page to verify your specific drugs.
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.
If you're looking for immune support and don't take immunosuppressants or pazopanib, this product is tolerated well by most people. Anyone on medications that dampen the immune system, or the cancer drug pazopanib, should check with their pharmacist or doctor before starting.

Sambucus Traditional Elderberry Immune Syrup Zero Sugar by Nature's Way Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Sambucus Traditional Elderberry Immune Syrup by Nature's Way contains black elderberry extract, which has documented interactions with two drug categories.
The most serious concern is immunosuppressants (drugs that weaken your immune system on purpose, like those taken after organ transplant or for autoimmune conditions). Elderberry stimulates immune activity, which could theoretically work against what these medications are trying to do.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
The other documented interaction is with pazopanib (Votrient), a cancer medication. There's a case report of a patient on pazopanib who developed severe nausea, loose stools, and liver injury while taking elderberry — we can't say for certain elderberry caused it, but the timing and symptoms raise concern, so these two shouldn't be mixed without close medical oversight.
Alaltogether, these interactions span 117 individual medications. To see whether your specific prescriptions are among them, use the medication checker on this page.
