Details & Ingredients
PRODUCT FEATURES
Kids’ Black Elderberry Glycerite is prepared from the ripe berries of Certified Organic Sambucus nigra trees. To assure optimal extraction of the herbs bioactive compounds, the berries are hand-harvested only when ripe.
Our Kids products are all expertly formulated for little ones, and they only use herbs that have a long tradition of use with children. The products include easy-to-follow dosing instructions based on body weight; simply add drops to a small amount of water or juice.
All our Glycerites are made using 100% non-palm glycerin to avoid contributing to global rainforest deforestation. Instead of palm, we use Certified Organic corn glycerin. We assure herb identity via macroscopic and organoleptic analysis, then confirm it through methods such as HPTLC fingerprinting specific to each herb.
