"Recent research has given new scientific evidence to the long-held
empirical belief that elderberries possess antiviral activities. The
research involved a specific, reproducible elderberry extract
developed by HerbalScience Group LLC, and succeeded in identifying key
chemical components of the extract that inhibited in vitro infection
and were shown to bind directly to Human Influenza A (H1N1) virus
particles. The binding blocked the ability of the viruses to enter
host cells, and thereby effectively preventing H1N1 infection in
vitro. "
