DWQA QuestionsCategory: Healing ModalitiesDoes elderberry extract in capsule form (400-500 mg) have significant antiviral activity? If so, how would it rank in effectiveness compared to pomegranate juice? Would it add important additional coverage if added as well to our Antiviral Regimen?

We see using an elderberry extract in capsule form as being comparable to taking a modest liquid amount of pomegranate juice (50 mL) so this could be described as an alternative. The two are not identical in the range of effects. We are speaking strictly as adding antiviral benefit. Individually, each has particular value as part of the human diet, so taking both will be beneficial if that can be supported.
