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 syrup contains one active ingredient: elderberry. The product is sweetened with sorbitol instead of sugar.
The remaining ingredients — water, glycerin, natural flavors, citric acid, and potassium sorbate — are inactive components that give the syrup its texture, taste, and shelf stability.
Does it work?
Insufficient evidence
The evidence for elderberry in the areas most people ask about — respiratory tract infections, hay fever, fatigue, heart health, breathing problems, and thinking and memory — is rated insufficient. That means the research we have isn't reliable enough to say whether it works.
That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means we just don't have solid proof yet.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Properly prepared elderberry products like this one are generally well tolerated. However, raw or unripe elderberries, seeds, leaves, and bark contain compounds that can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, and other symptoms — but cooking eliminates this risk, and commercial products like this syrup are safe in that regard.
One rare case report links elderberry use over several years to autoimmune liver inflammation in someone with an existing autoimmune condition, though this is uncommon. You should avoid this product during pregnancy and breastfeeding — there isn't enough safety data to know either way, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Double-check this product before taking it if you're on immunosuppressant medications (used after transplant or for autoimmune disease) or pazopanib (Votrient) for cancer — both interact at Moderate severity. Use the checker below to verify your full medication list.
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.
This product is generally well tolerated if you don't take immunosuppressants or pazopanib. If you do take either of those medications, check with your pharmacist before starting.
The evidence for what elderberry actually does for common concerns like colds and allergies isn't established, so manage your expectations about what it can deliver.

Sambucus Traditional Elderberry Immune Syrup Zero Sugar by Nature's Way Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Sambucus Traditional Elderberry Immune Syrup Zero Sugar by Nature's Way contains elderberry, which has documented interactions with two medication types.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
The most serious concern is with immunosuppressant drugs (Moderate severity). Elderberry stimulates your immune system by boosting production of immune chemicals called cytokines.
If you take medications to suppress your immune response — such as those after an organ transplant or for autoimmune conditions — elderberry may work against them and reduce their effectiveness.
Also at Moderate severity is pazopanib (Votrient), a cancer medication. There's one case report of a patient on pazopanib who developed severe nausea, loose stools, and liver injury after taking elderberry, though we can't say for certain the supplement caused it.
Additionally, no interactions are documented for other drug types we were able to check. Altogether, these interactions span 117 individual medications.
