Certificate of Analysis

Product Introduction

Elderberry Powder is a whole-food ingredient derived from the dark purple berries of Sambucus nigra. It has a long history of traditional use in Western herbalism for seasonal immune support. Unlike extracts, the whole berry powder provides the complete polyphenol profile, including anthocyanins, flavonols, and phenolic acids, working synergistically.

Greenherb’s elderberry powder is particularly valued in natural immune formulas and clean-label products where minimal processing is preferred.
