About this product

A serving supplies 425 mg organic Sambucus nigra fruit-juice concentrate plus 4 mg fruit extract. The juice amount gives the product a stronger botanical base than many low-dose elderberry gummies.

Only 2 g carbohydrate and a low calorie amount are listed, which keeps the gummy relatively light. Neither elderberry component has an anthocyanin marker or concentration ratio, so active potency cannot be confirmed.

The species, plant part, and active quantities are clearly identified. Missing age directions and inactive gummy ingredients limit assessment of sweeteners, allergens, and suitability for individual children.
