Strengthen your immune system with Elderberries. Native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa, these dark, nutrient-rich berries have been cherished for centuries in both European folk and Native American herbal traditions. They were traditionally brewed into teas and tonics to support respiratory health, soothe sore throats, ease congestion, and reduce fevers. Elderberries were also taken to help fortify immunity and promote faster recovery from illness.

♡ Why we love it: Elderberries continue to shine in modern wellness – commonly crafted into teas, syrups, jams, and even infused in gin. Their popularity comes from their potent active compounds, including flavonoids, vitamin C, phenols, and tannins. These nutrients provide strong antiviral and antioxidant activity, especially noted for supporting immune function and helping shorten the duration of colds and flu. Their abundance of antioxidants is also linked to cardiovascular health, cellular protection, and overall vitality. Additionally, Elderberry acts as a mild diuretic, gently supporting the natural cleansing of the blood, liver, kidneys, and skin.

Elderberry extracts are equally beneficial in skincare, offering antioxidant protection, gentle toning, and a natural boost for radiant, healthy-looking skin.

Sizes: 200g, 500g or 1kg.
