In this episode of UNLOCKING PERFORMANCE, Robert Gorgos takes a closer look at black elderberry and what current research can tell us about its potential role in immune health.
The episode explores why immune resilience matters for athletes, especially during periods of heavy training, frequent travel, poor sleep, and increased exposure to infections. Robert looks at clinical studies examining elderberry in people with respiratory symptoms and long-haul travelers, as well as laboratory research investigating how elderberry compounds interact with the immune system.
A particular focus is placed on how different elderberry extracts may work. Robert explains the possible roles of anthocyanins and polysaccharides, how these compounds may influence immune cells such as dendritic cells and T cells, and why the extraction method itself can affect biological activity.
A practical and evidence-based look at where elderberry may fit into an athlete’s immune-support strategy, and why the quality and composition of an extract can matter just as much as the ingredient on the label.
