Elderberry is one of the most recognized herbal remedies – for good reason. It’s a potent cold and flu fighter, a strong immune modulator, rich in vitamin C, and has tons of antioxidant properties. It’s great to take daily to support your health because it won’t boost your immune system into overdrive. Instead, it supports your body by giving it what’s needed to help keep you healthy!



What Are Elderberries?

Black elderberries are small, dark purple berries common in parts of North America and Central Europe. Elderberries can be used in jellies, pies, or baked goods much like any berry. They can also be dried and made into teas, tinctures, and syrups. They aren’t popular so much for their flavor (although they do taste good!) but for their powerful medicinal properties.


Several studies (like this one) show that elderberry syrup administered at the first sign of illness seems to shorten the severity and length of colds and flu. Its effectiveness is probably thanks to elderberry’s high levels of vitamins A and C, as well as a flavonoid and antioxidant profile that outranks other berries.

Some of the benefits of elderberry include:

Immune modulator. Supports respiratory health. Helps with occasional coughs. Lessens cold and flu symptoms. Calms allergies and allergic responses. Anti-bacterial properties. Anti-viral properties. Rich in antioxidants. Rich in anthocyanins. Rich in vitamin C.
