How much Elderberry should you take?

SuppScore grades doses across evidence zones rather than against a single recommended figure. Scored information, not a recommendation.

  1. Zone 1100 to 200 mg per dayLow dose
  2. Zone 2200 to 400 mg per dayGeneral maintenance dose
  3. Zone 3400 to 600 mg per dayFor deficiency or elevated need
  4. Zone 4600 to 900 mg per dayTherapeutic dose

Zones describe what the evidence supports at a dose. They are not advice on what to take, and they do not replace a conversation with a doctor or pharmacist.
