Elderberry Syrup Liquid

Does your Elderberry Syrup Liquid need refrigeration?
Yes. For quality assurance and consumer safety, our elderberry syrup must be refrigerated upon arrival and kept refrigerated. If you want a shelf-stable option, try our Elderberry Syrup Bites™—perfect for travel and on-the-go use.

Does your Elderberry Syrup have a thick consistency?
No. Our syrup has a juice-like consistency that customers love. We never use thickeners or fillers—just pure, handcrafted ingredients.

Should I shake your Elderberry Syrup before use?
No shaking is necessary. We use only whole organic spices, never ground, so you won’t find sediment at the bottom.

Where do you source your elderberries?
We use organic European black elderberries grown in Bulgaria, where the elderberry plant (Sambucus nigra) thrives and develops the highest levels of anthocyanins.

Where are your Elderberry Syrup products made?
All production is led by our Director of Operations at our licensed, FDA-registered commercial facility in Myrtle Beach, SC.

How much sugar is in your Elderberry Syrup?
The natural sweetness comes from local raw honey—never refined sugar, artificial sweeteners, or corn syrup.
