HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Super Concentrated Black Elderberry 4,250 mg by Windmill

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 Sep 17, 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 product contains one active ingredient: elderberry at 4,250 mg per serving in liquid form. The remaining ingredients are inactive—water, vegetable glycerin, citric acid, natural flavors, steviol glycoside (a sweetener), potassium sorbate, xanthan gum, and sodium benzoate—which serve to preserve the product and make it palatable.

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 immunity.
  • We looked for evidence on: Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), Respiratory tract infections, Lower respiratory tract infections, cold, flu, immune function.
  • 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 Upper respiratory tract infection (URTI), Lower respiratory tract infections.

The evidence for elderberry isn't yet reliable enough to confidently rate. Our data shows insufficient evidence for hay fever, heart disease, chronic fatigue, COPD, brain function, and respiratory infections.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work—it means larger, better-designed studies haven't been done yet to prove it 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 from ripe fruit are generally well tolerated. The key word is 'prepared'—raw or unripe berries, seeds, leaves, and bark can be toxic and cause nausea, vomiting, severe diarrhea, weakness, dizziness, and numbness; cooking eliminates that risk, and commercial products like this one are cooked.

Because there isn't enough reliable safety data, it's best to avoid elderberry supplements during pregnancy and while breastfeeding—talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you in those situations. In rare cases, people with underlying autoimmune disease have developed liver inflammation after taking elderberry for extended periods, so watch for yellowing of the skin or eyes, abdominal pain, or nausea and contact your healthcare provider if these occur.

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.

Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take immunosuppressants (such as medications to prevent organ rejection or manage autoimmune disease) or pazopanib (Votrient). Both are Moderate severity concerns because elderberry stimulates immune activity, which could work against how these drugs are supposed to function.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This elderberry concentrate may interest you if you're curious about immune support, though the evidence for specific conditions isn't yet solid. Be careful if you take immunosuppressants, medications after organ transplant, or pazopanib—these need a conversation with your doctor or pharmacist first.

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.

Super Concentrated Black Elderberry 4,250 mg by Windmill: Common Questions

Does Super Concentrated Black Elderberry 4,250 mg by Windmill interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Super Concentrated Black Elderberry 4,250 mg 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?
Super Concentrated Black Elderberry 4,250 mg 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 elderberry safe if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
There isn't enough reliable safety data to know either way. It's best to avoid elderberry supplements during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about what's right for your situation.
What are the side effects?
Properly prepared elderberry from ripe fruit is generally well tolerated with few side effects. Problems arise only if you ingest raw berries, seeds, leaves, or bark—these contain a toxin that causes nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dizziness, and weakness. This product is cooked, so that risk is eliminated. In rare cases, people with autoimmune disease have developed liver inflammation after long-term use.
Does elderberry actually work for colds or the flu?
The evidence for elderberry on respiratory infections isn't reliable enough yet to say with confidence. More research is needed before we know whether it truly helps.
Can I take this if I'm on medications to prevent organ rejection?
This is something to check with your doctor or pharmacist first. Elderberry boosts immune activity, which could theoretically interfere with immunosuppressant therapy—a Moderate concern.
What's in this product besides elderberry?
The rest is inactive ingredients: water, vegetable glycerin, citric acid, natural flavors, a plant-based sweetener (steviol glycoside), and preservatives. These are excipients—they don't add active benefit but preserve the product and improve taste.
Is this made from raw berries?
No. Properly prepared elderberry products like this one use cooked berries, which eliminates the toxins found in raw berries and plant parts. That's why commercial products are generally well tolerated.
