Studies have shown that elderberry syrup can shorten the duration of some illnesses such as colds and flu. 1
When shopping for elderberry products, it is crucial to check ingredients. A red flag would include any syrup containing glucose or citric acid as this indicates poor quality product manufacturing.
Glucose syrup is similar to high fructose corn syrup in that it can cause health issues if taken in excess. Citric acid, another harsh chemical commonly found in many products, may also pose risks if consumed too frequently.

Nature’s Way Sambucus Elderberry Syrup for Kids & Adults
Elderberry syrup can provide soothing sore throat relief or boost immune health; its natural, antioxidant-rich ingredients make homemade cold remedies even easier! Elderberries contain Vitamin C as well as flavonoids like quercitin, kaempferol and isorhamnetin that offer additional support for immunity.
Before taking any supplement, it’s essential to consult a healthcare provider in order to find the appropriate dosage and formulation. Elderberry supplements come in various forms; you could try drinking tea with them added or flavoring homemade lemonade with them as an additive.
Elderberry extract may be safe when taken orally up to 12 weeks, although longer-term use might reduce immune function. Children should avoid taking it and there isn’t enough reliable information on its safety during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Nature’s Way has long used the dark berries of European black elder (Sambucus nigra L) as an effective winter remedy. Our elderberry extract is grown on fertile Austrian soil and harvested at just the right moment for maximum levels of naturally occurring anthocyanins; furthermore, this gentle solvent-free extraction process ensures maximum bioavailable Flavonoid BioActives content.
Elderberry syrup should be free from added sugars, artificial flavors and colors, gluten, dairy and soy. Plus it’s simple and quick to make at home: just simmer a cup of dried elderberries with honey on low heat for 20 to 30 minutes until everything has softened before straining and enjoying as a soothing beverage or adding it into fruit juice or lemonade for an irresistibly sweet summer treat!

To make elderberry syrup, combine 4 cups of dried elderberries with 8 cups of water in a pan and bring to a boil before simmering until reduced by roughly half, or when a spoon can easily coat your finger – this typically takes 30-40 minutes. Strain and squeeze out pulp; any left can be saved for future batches or used as part of an elderberry tea recipe (although beware that squeezing berries could stain your hands purple! To protect yourself against this happenstance wear gloves or place in cheesecloth before starting).
Add raw honey and simmer again for 30 to 40 minutes before straining and pouring into clean mason or swing-top jars for storage. This batch produces 32 ounces of homemade elderberry syrup; keep refrigerated up to 12 weeks; however, to extend shelf life longer add a small amount of alcohol such as vodka, whiskey or brandy as a preservative.
