Elderberry Extract Powder

 

Elderberry Extract is derived from the fruit of Sambucus nigra, commonly known as black elderberry, a shrub with a long tradition of use across Europe as a folk remedy for cold and flu season. The berries themselves are toxic when raw and must be processed before consumption - the resulting extract is rich in anthocyanins, the flavonoid pigments responsible for the fruit's deep purple color and much of its antioxidant activity, alongside phenolic acids, quercetin, and vitamin C.

Sheerherb's Elderberry Extract Powder is extracted from Sambucus nigra fruit and standardized to anthocyanin content, with HPLC/UV verification confirmed on every batch. We supply supplement manufacturers, functional beverage producers, and contract manufacturers sourcing elderberry raw material for immune-support and seasonal wellness formulations.
