A member asked:
Can i take elderberry if i have corona? will it help or make it worse? please explain cytokine storm?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
COVID 19: Although you can take Elderberry, please know that no supplements have been shown at this time to prevent COVID 19 transmission or to protect if someone has an infection. Cytokines are part of the immune system. It is theorized that in some people the SARS-Cov-2 virus can trigger a massive release of these, which then markedly damages the lungs. This may cause Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome
