Organic Elderberry Powder

What is organic elderberry powder?

Organic Elderberry Powder is made from freeze-dried whole Sambucus nigra berries, retaining skins, seeds, and bioactive compounds. We also supply Organic Elderberry Juice Powder, a low-temperature spray-dried concentrate from cold-pressed juice. Both deliver potent immune-modulating anthocyanins (≥10%) and flavonoids without additives.
