Not Your Ordinary Elderberry Syrup

Elderberry syrup is a traditional preparation made from elderberries and enjoyed by families as part of daily and seasonal wellness routines. At The POWER of Elderberries®, we take a whole-food approach, handcrafting our Signature Elderberry Syrup in small batches with organic European black elderberries, organic whole spices, and local raw honey. It’s cold shipped fresh and made with the same care we would choose for our own family.

Here’s what elderberry syrup is, how ours is made, and what to look for when choosing a bottle for your family.

What Is Elderberry Syrup?

Elderberry syrup is made from the deep purple berries of the elder tree. European black elderberries (Sambucus nigra) are one of the most widely recognized varieties and have a long history of use in traditional wellness practices.

Elderberry syrups can differ significantly in their ingredients and preparation. Some are made from elderberry concentrates, extracts, or powdered ingredients and may include added sugars, artificial sweeteners, fillers, or other additives. Our elderberry syrup begins with whole organic European black elderberries, which we slowly simmer with organic ginger root, cinnamon sticks, and whole cloves. After steeping and cooling, we gently blend in local raw honey.

The result is a rich, flavorful elderberry syrup made simply from five whole-food ingredients we carefully choose for our own family.

Why Do Families Take Elderberry Syrup Daily?

For many families, elderberry syrup becomes a simple part of their daily wellness routine rather than something they think about only during certain times of the year.

A daily spoonful can fit naturally alongside breakfast, into a morning or evening routine, or whenever it’s easiest for your family to stay consistent. Our Signature Elderberry Syrup is intended for the whole family ages 1 and up, since raw honey is not recommended for infants under 12 months.

What began as a recipe for our own family has now become part of the wellness routines of more than 150,000 families nationwide.

What Makes Our Elderberry Syrup Different?

Not all elderberry syrup is made the same way, and the difference often begins with the ingredient list.

Our Signature Elderberry Syrup is handcrafted from just five whole-food ingredients: organic European black elderberries, organic ginger root, organic cinnamon sticks, organic whole cloves, and local raw honey.

We don’t use elderberry concentrates, refined sugar, artificial sweeteners, fillers, thickeners, dyes, flavorings, or preservatives. Our syrup is handcrafted in small batches, third-party tested, and prepared in our FDA-registered facility.

Because we prioritize freshness rather than processing our syrup for extended shelf life, every bottle is cold shipped and refrigerated upon arrival.

How Do You Take Elderberry Syrup?

Elderberry syrup can be incorporated into a daily routine in whatever way is easiest for your household. Many families simply take their serving by the spoonful as part of a morning or evening routine.

Our serving guidance varies by age:

• Ages 1–2: ½ teaspoon
• Ages 3–12: 1 teaspoon
• Ages 13+: 1 tablespoon

Always follow the serving directions on the product label. Because our elderberry syrup contains local raw honey, it is intended for ages 1 and up and should not be given to infants under 12 months.

For us, elderberry syrup has always been about keeping wellness simple: whole-food ingredients, thoughtful preparation, and a daily ritual families can genuinely enjoy.
