Tastes great
I love the taste. After reviewing the ingredients I see it really is an immunity powerhouse. I am so glad I got two.
Erica L.
The best
This is my third bottle. I love this!!! The ingredients are pure and so good for you!
Julia P.
I feel like I'm really putting something healthy into my body when I take it. Yes, the taste is different, but it grows on you and you don't taste it for long since you only need to take 1 tbsp.
Cortney G.

Questions
Good to know
Does elderberry really work?
Research says yes. In a 2016 clinical trial of 312 air travelers, people taking elderberry extract had about half as many cold days as the placebo group, and milder symptoms. A 2019 meta-analysis of clinical trials found elderberry substantially reduced upper respiratory symptoms. These studies used elderberry extracts, not our elixir specifically.*
How much should I take?
Adults and kids over 12: 1 tablespoon (15ml) a day. Kids 6 to 12: 1 teaspoon (5ml) a day. For ages 1 to 5, check with your pediatrician first. Shake well before use and do not exceed the recommended daily intake.
Is it suitable for kids?
Yes, for kids over 1. It contains honey, so it is not suitable for babies under 1. For ages 1 to 5, check with your pediatrician before use.
Does it contain alcohol?
A very small amount. We use organic cognac (less than 1%) as a natural preservative instead of artificial ones.
