Product Information

Depending on whether we are blending elderberry syrup or elderberry tea, the berries are either dehydrated or juiced. Supplements held exciting potential to nurture millions more people around the world. However, since we first launched our organic supplements, we have experienced multiple supply and manufacturing challenges. We hoped to find solutions to these ongoing challenges, whilst maintaining our high standards of sourcing and quality of organic ingredients, but after a lot of thorough research and investigation, we discovered that such solutions are not available. Therefore, after a great deal of consideration, we have made the decision to stop producing our range of supplements by the end June 2023. This concentrated broad-spectrum syrup contains the highest organic grade, sustainably cultivated herbs, carefully selected to bring you the full potential of nature’s goodness. The recommended dietary allowance of zinc is higher during pregnancy — 11 milligrams (mg) vs. 8 milligrams when you’re not pregnant. But keep in mind that your daily intake shouldn’t exceed 40 mg, which is lower than what many supplements sold specifically as cold and flu remedies contain.

In addition to elderberries the collectors harvest a variety of other herbs, including elderflower and nettles, which we also use in our teas and herbal supplements. By harvesting herbs, or herb parts that mature at different times of the year the collectors are able to spread their workload and generate a regular source of income. The elderberry syrup is prepared from a concentrate, which is made by evaporating freshly squeezed elderberry juice under low pressure at a low temperature to preserve the medicinal and nutritional properties. While elderberry may not prevent the flu, it may be an effective treatment option if you got hit with the virus. Research shows the use of elderberry could shorten the duration of flu by about three to four days, along with lessening symptom severity if taken within the first 24 hours of having the flu. When it comes to recommended dosages, WebMD suggests one tablespoon (15 milliliters) of a specific elderberry juice-containing syrup (Sambucol by Nature’s Way) has been taken four times daily for three to five days, while a specific lozenge (ViraBLOC by HerbalScience) containing 175 milligrams of elderberry extract has been taken four times daily for two days. 2. Reduces Cold Duration If you make a syrup that uses honey as the natural sweetener, remember not to serve it to children under the age of 1 to avoid the risk of infant botulism. Commercially prepared One of the main reasons why you should consider elderberry with caution is that the plant is categorized as a supplement. This means it’s not approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and isn’t monitored in the same way as OTC medications or prescription drugs.The berry has been traditionally explored in its treatment of diabetes, with evidence published in the Journal of Nutritiondemonstrating the presence of insulin-releasing and insulin-like activity in the proclaimed anti-diabetic plant, Sambucus nigra. 4. Promotes Mental Health Collect your fresh berries on a quintessentially autumnal day. Wash and de stalk the berries by using a fork as a mini ‘rake’. It's a rather satisfying job as the berries ‘pop’ off their stalks. Tsui B, et al. (2001). A survey of dietary supplement use during pregnancy at an academic medical center.

READ MORE Elderberries are perfect for wild collection; they grow in abundance and can be harvested every year without harming the plant. Our wild elderberries come from southern Hungary, where there is still a thriving industry of wild herb collection. The collectors, who are predominantly of Roma origin, have formed a small cooperative made up of about 30 people. Every year they harvest the fresh berries from a patchwork of different sized areas of organically certified land. The fresh berries are immediately taken to our local partner for drying and export.

The elderberry juice for our syrup takes 6kgs of berries concentrated to 1kg, giving you an amazing 12000mg of fresh berries for every 15mls of syrup. Did you know? In the right format, e.g., syrup, it can warm the throat, it will help shift stubborn catarrh, and minimise irritation. Thyme, Aniseed & Liquorice all have antimicrobial properties, and adding these to Elderberries creates a solution that can help soothe sore throats and coughs.
