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).

Tiralongo and Dr Shirley Wee

300mg of a standardised,
proprietary membrane-filtered
elderberry extract.

European research published in
the open access journal Current

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
