Supporting Family Wellness Naturally
Throughout the year, the immune system works continuously to protect the body from everyday environmental challenges. During colder weather, seasonal changes and busy school terms, many families choose traditional botanical supplements to help support their natural defences as part of a healthy lifestyle.
Our Medical Herbalists have selected organic Sambucus nigra (Elderberry) because it has been valued for generations as one of the traditional botanicals for seasonal family wellness. Naturally rich in anthocyanins and other antioxidant plant compounds, Elderberry helps protect cells from oxidative stress while supporting everyday health and wellbeing.
Why Choose an Alcohol-Free Elderberry Syrup?
Unlike many conventional syrups that contain artificial flavourings, synthetic preservatives or unnecessary additives, our formulation is built around a simple whole-plant philosophy. We use carefully selected organic Elderberries together with vegetable glycerine, purified water and a small amount of organic sugar to create a pleasant-tasting syrup that children enjoy and adults can take with confidence.
Supplied in a 100ml amber glass bottle with a clean, easy-pour neck, this family-friendly syrup is suitable for children aged 2 years and over as well as adults. Every batch is prepared using carefully selected botanical ingredients and is free from artificial flavourings, synthetic colourings, chemical preservatives and unnecessary fillers. It is also suitable for vegans.

Organic Elderberry (Sambucus nigra)
Elderberry has been valued in traditional herbal medicine for generations as one of the classic botanicals for seasonal family wellness. Naturally rich in anthocyanins and other antioxidant plant compounds, Elderberries help protect cells from oxidative stress while supporting overall health and wellbeing.

Antioxidant Protection & Seasonal Wellbeing
Anthocyanins are the naturally occurring deep-purple pigments responsible for the distinctive colour of Elderberries. These powerful plant compounds act as antioxidants, helping protect cells from oxidative stress caused by everyday environmental factors. Combined with a healthy diet and lifestyle, antioxidant-rich foods and botanicals can play an important role in supporting long-term wellbeing.
