Frequently Asked Questions

Please visit the Why Choose Us page to learn more about the many differences between our elderberry syrup and elderberry syrup bites and the other products out there.

We use local raw honey from South Carolina. However, we have many customers that use our elderberry syrup and elderberry bites that are finding relief regardless of where they live in the country! The raw honey that is used in our products is never pasteurized from the time it leaves the hive to when you ingest our products. This ensures all of the active enzymes and health benefits stay intact.

To ensure the best quality and potency, we get our elderberries organically sourced from Bulgaria. The elderberry plant is native to Europe, thus having the highest level of anthocyanins (medicinal benefits) when grown there.

 Elderberry Syrup Bites

Our elderberry syrup bites are handcrafted straight from our Signature Elderberry Syrup. Think of it as a "to-go" version of our Syrup. Both our Syrup and Bites are made from the same 5 core ingredients: Organic Black Elderberries (Sambucus nigra), Local Raw Honey, Organic Ginger Root, Organic Cinnamon Stick, and Organic Whole Cloves.

We use the mildest, all non-GMO preservatives possible in our elderberry bites: Non-Irradiated Citric Acid, Non-GMO Sodium Citrate and Organic Potassium Sorbate. The local raw honey in our Elderberry Bites also acts as a natural preservative.

*If you are looking for an elderberry product with NO preservatives (except raw honey), check out our Elderberry Syrup.

The unique texture of our Elderberry Syrup Bites is due to the organic plant-based, Agar Agar that we use instead of animal by product based gelatin, as well as the fact that we do not use added sugar, high fructose corn syrup, or coat our Bites in sugar.
