Elderberry
What Is Elderberry
Elderberry is a dark purple berry extract long used in traditional wellness practices, most recognised today for its association with immune support. It's a popular addition to seasonal wellness formulas, often paired with Vitamin C, zinc and Tulsi. The berries themselves are rich in naturally occurring pigments and antioxidant compounds, which has made elderberry one of the more prominent botanicals in the immune-support category over the past decade.

Its popularity in modern immune-support formulations has grown substantially, often studied in combination with other well-established immune nutrients like Vitamin C and zinc.
