Elderberry — The Metabolic Multitasker

In a randomized controlled trial, overweight adults drinking elderberry juice twice daily for one week experienced:

• 24% lower post-meal blood sugar
• 9% lower post-meal insulin levels
• Higher fat oxidation rates (measured by indirect calorimetry)
• Increased thyroid hormones T4 & TSH — markers of higher metabolic activity
