Elderberry and chokeberry food supplements may be 'functional food' in patients with metabolic syndrome or influenza but, for this, adequate amounts of co-active ingredients must be consumed in the daily dose. This study aimed to quantify the anthocyanin content in three elderberry and six chokeberry products to assess their usefulness as functional food. Analyses were carried out using an established HPLC procedure. The minimum anthocyanin doses for the treatment of metabolic syndrome disorders were estimated as 110 mg per day and 3.5 g per day for influenza. Three products were inappropriate for clinical use. The lowest liquid supplies were achieved with a proprietary elderberry concentrate (11 mL) and a proprietary chokeberry mother juice (100 mL). Clinical studies are now required to prove the effectiveness and adapt the doses according to the clinical symptoms.
接骨木果和黑果腺肋花楸的食品补充剂可能对患有代谢综合征或流感的患者是“功能性食品”，但为此，在日常剂量中必须摄入足够量的协同活性成分。本研究旨在定量分析三种接骨木果和六种黑果腺肋花楸产品中的花青素含量，以评估它们作为功能性食品的用途。使用既定的 HPLC 程序进行分析。估计治疗代谢综合征疾病的最低花青素剂量为每天 110mg 和每天 3.5g 用于流感。三种产品不适合临床使用。使用专利接骨木果浓缩物（11mL）和专利黑果腺肋花楸母液（100mL）可以获得最低的液体供应量。现在需要进行临床研究以证明其有效性并根据临床症状调整剂量。
