the common elderberry may
prove to be the answer for some
international travellers who
frequently have post travel cold
and flu-like symptoms according to
new work out of Griffith’s Menzies
Health Institute Queensland (MHIQ).
Associate Professor Evelin
Tiralongo and Dr Shirley Wee
from MHIQ completed a clinical
trial showing the positive effect of
taking an elderberry supplement.
The trial used capsules containing
300mg of a standardised,
proprietary membrane-filtered
elderberry extract.
The Griffith study follows recent
European research published in
the open access journal Current
Therapeutic Research which
suggests that a combination of
echinacea herb and root extract
supplemented with elderberry can
be as effective as the conventional
antiviral medicine Tamiflu for the
early treatment of influenza, the
authors said.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 22 Jul 15 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 22 Jul 15
