Can Elderberry Help with Weight Loss?

New research from Washington State University says yes! In a recent clinical trial published in Nutrients, researchers from the WSU Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine shared their findings about how elderberry can benefit weight management and metabolic health.

Specifically, they found that consuming 12 ounces of elderberry juice every day for a week can positively affect gut biomes while improving fat oxidization and glucose tolerance.

“This study contributes to a growing body of evidence that elderberry, which has been used as a folk remedy for centuries, has numerous benefits for metabolic as well as prebiotic health.” – Patrick Solverson, assistant professor Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine Washington State University
