Elderberry

Immune Fortification

Packed with antioxidants, Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) is renowned for its immune-boosting prowess.

• Cold & Flu Resilience: Research suggests that Elderberry may help reduce the severity and duration of cold and flu symptoms. A study published in the Journal of International Medical Research (2016) found that elderberry supplementation was effective in reducing the duration and symptoms of upper respiratory infections.

• Anti-Inflammatory Support: Elderberry's natural anti-inflammatory properties make it a valuable ally for overall wellness. It helps calm inflammation, promoting comfort and balance within the body.

• Nutrients: Elderberry’s vibrant purple-black hues signal a powerhouse of antioxidants, vitamins, and immune-boosting compounds. They are a rich source of vitamins, including vitamin C and antioxidants like quercetin.

Many are familiar with elderberry syrup, but for my family I most often choose elderberry tincture for its shelf life, potency and versatility. Elderberry tinctures are typically more concentrated than syrups which results in a more potent and compact form. Tinctures, due to their alcohol base, have a longer shelf life compared to syrups. The alcohol in tinctures serves as a natural preservative, helping to maintain its stability and efficacy. The tincture can be easily added to various beverages, such as water, tea, or juice but does not have all of the added sugar that the syrups do.
