Elderberry is a plant that is most highly recognised as a natural health remedy, to support immune systems. All of our elderberry products are made from the dried berries of the Sambucus Nigra plant.
Yes we do! We express post every Monday and Wednesday Morning so that you can experience the goodness of Elderberry as soon as possible.
Black elderberries (sambucus nigra) are an excellent immune booster! Elderberries contain many vitamins (A, B and loads of C), as well as powerful flavonoids such as anthocyanins that are powerful antioxidants and protect cells against damage. Our bodies use these vitamins and antioxidants to fight back infection.
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 30ml and child under 12 can take 15ml. You can take elderberry once a day or up to three times daily if needed.
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 as well as ever single ingredient in our syrup is certified organic.
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.
We source dried organic elderberries from Bosnia, Croatia and Albania. They are Australian passed certified organic.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding are unique times, and we always encourage extra care when introducing any food, herb or supplement.
While elderberry has a long history of traditional use in food and herbal practices, there is currently limited clinical evidence regarding the use of concentrated elderberry preparations during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Our products are made with simple, certified organic ingredients and are third-party tested for quality and purity. However, individual circumstances vary, and what may be suitable for one person may not be appropriate for another.
For this reason, we recommend that anyone who is pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding consult with their qualified healthcare professional before using our products.
If you experience any adverse reaction, discontinue use and seek medical advice.
