  • Sambucol Elderberry Extract Syrup

    In MMM, elderberry extract is listed as an L4.

    Is the concentration and L risk category the same for the syrup?

    Dear Beth,

    Dr. Hale rates herbal supplements as L4 due to the lack of data on safety. These products are not evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration; therefore, Dr. Hale suggests to consult an herbal authority before ingesting while breastfeeding or pregnant.
