WHAT ARE SOME BENEFITS?
The berries and flowers of elderberry are packed with antioxidants and vitamins that may boost your immune system.
They could help tame inflammation, lessen stress, and help protect your heart, too.
Some experts recommend elderberry to help prevent and ease cold and flu symptoms.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I TAKE ELDERBERRY AND HOW MUCH IS ONE DOSE?
We always recommend talking with your health care provider and do your own research when it comes to using elderberry.
Some of our customers take it year-round, others take it only when they are seeking to support their immune system.
An adult serving is approximately one tablespoon, and a child serving is approximately one teaspoon. You can take elderberry once a day or up to three times daily if needed.
WHAT MAKES YOUR ELDERBERRY PRODUCTS DIFFERENT FROM THE KIND I CAN BUY AT THE GROCERY STORE?
Two things distinguish us from store-bought elderberry syrup: ingredients and cost.
As opposed to glucose syrup and other additives, we use raw, local honey in our syrup. Also, we don't add preservatives to our syrup, and our berries are certified organic.
HOW DO I STORE MY ELDERBERRY SYRUP AND HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?
Our elderberry syrup will last approximately 60 days in the refrigerator. You can also freeze our elderberry syrup in ice cube trays for up to 6-8 months and thaw out smaller amounts as necessary. This is a great option for those families who do not intend to use elderberry syrup preventatively on a daily basis.
WHERE DO YOUR ELDERBERRIES COME FROM?
We source dried organic elderberries from Bosnia, Croatia and Albania. They are Australian passed certified organic.
CAN YOU TAKE THIS WHILE PREGNANT?
When it comes to pregnancy there is not a a lot of studies done on it. We have tons of pregnant/ breastfeeding mums who use our Elderberry Syrup though! We do believe it is safe for both! We always recommend checking with your health care provider and making the decision that makes you most comfortable.
WHY IS YOUR SYRUP NOT SHIPPED COLD?
Our syrup is certified as “non-hazardous” which means that it does not create a hospitable environment for harmful bacteria to grow. Our instructions to refrigerate upon arrival are for quality purposes, not safety. Being outside of the fridge for even up to week may take a few days off its full shelf life of 60 days but not compromise the safety of our product. We recommend getting it in the fridge upon arrival!
