What are the benefits of Elderberry?

Elderberry is a plant that is highly recognized as a natural health remedy, fighting colds, allergies and the flu. Elderberries are naturally high in immune-boosting compounds that are specifically shown to help beat the cold and flu more quickly. Health benefits of the elder plant include naturally improving colds, the flu, sinus issues, nerve pain, inflammation, chronic fatigue, allergies, and constipation.

How often should I take Elderberry?

We take elderberry year round! (And so does our family).

Dosage is one tablespoon per day for adults. One teaspoon a day for children 12 months and older.

You can take elderberry up to three times a day if you are actively fighting a cold or flu.

How does Sweet Jane Elderberry Syrup differ from store made?

Ingredients and cost! Our elderberry syrup is made to order with organic ingredients. Our syrup does not contain any artificial ingredients, including thickeners, preservatives, or artificial colors.

 

How long does one bottle last?

Our elderberry syrup can last up to three months stored in the refrigerator.

 

Where do you get your elderberries?

Our sources can change, but currently our organic elderberries come from Croatia and are processed, packaged, and quality tested in California.

 

Can I take while pregnant or breastfeeding?

When it comes to pregnancy, like many herbs, there are not a lot of studies done on elderberries. We have personally used elderberries to keep our immune system strong while pregnant and breastfeeding. But we always recommend doing your own research and checking with your doctor.
