Elderberry Extract

Immune support for seasonal wellness.. A 500mg dose of 10:1 concentrate is equivalent to 5 grams of fresh berries, which is a very respectable amount. It lacks fancy standardization for anthocyanins, but the sheer volume of extract makes up for it. It is an honest product that does what it says.

7.9/10
VERY GOOD

This provides a solid dose of elderberry that is strong enough to actually make a difference during cold season.
