A Closer Look: Sweet Jane Elderberry vs. Store Brand

Elderberries and herbs have been used for centuries to help keep different cultures healthy. Today elderberries have grown in popularity because of their natural immune boosting nutrients. Elderberries contain many vitamins (A, B and tons of C), and are unusually high in phytochemicals called anthocyanins, which help stimulate your immune system. Anthocyanins are powerful antioxidants that protect cells against damage. Using elderberries for these beneficial antioxidants and vitamins is a great way to give your body what it needs to fight against infections. 

If you’ve bought elderberry syrup from a big box store in the past, or maybe from your local pharmacy, you’ll probably notice that Sweet Jane Elderberry is different. 

Quality 

We always brew our syrup using the same six ingredients; organic clove, organic ceylon cinnamon, organic ginger, organic dried elderberries, raw local honey, and filtered water. Each ingredient brings its own set of health benefits. And the sweetness of our syrup comes solely from our raw honey, locally sourced from an apiary outside of Hubbard, Ohio. 

Small Batches

When Sweet Jane started in September, we were making our elderberry syrup weekly. Today, to keep up with demand, we are brewing daily! Each jar of SJ Elderberry is sanitized, labeled and dated. To provide you with the freshest product, we distribute our syrup within two days of making. We send all orders through the USPS Priority Mail. Once shipped, it could take 1-4 business days to get your package. 

Once your bottle arrives it has to be kept refrigerated - as keeping bottles cold will provide you with the longest shelf life. SJ can last for up to three months in the refrigerator - although if you drink it regularly like we do in our house, you’ll finish it much sooner. 

Consistency 

One quality that customers typically find surprising about our syrup, besides the taste, is its consistency. Many elderberry supplements found on store shelves are loaded with refined sugar, artificial preservatives and corn syrup. Because SJ does not contain any artificial ingredients, including thickeners or artificial colors, our syrup has a thinner consistency. Instead of a thick syrup you’d imagine for your pancakes, SJ has a juice like consistency. We find its consistency is one of the main reasons kids have the easiest time taking our syrup. 

Mission

Our mission at Sweet Jane Elderberry is to provide you with a safe and effective elderberry syrup to help keep your family’s immune system strong and healthy. We feel so grateful to be able to share our syrup with you.
