Truly organic Elderberry Syrup should be refrigerated while storing to be shipped and when received by the customer, in order to preserve maximum nutrient content. However, if our Premium Elderberry Syrup is left out for a few days (5-7 days), it will cause no harm or spoilage. But, it is important to refrigerate in order to preserve best taste, maximum effectiveness, and prevent fermentation. Elderberry Syrup will ferment and become fizzy when left outside of the the refrigerator. However, it would be safe to consume, if one can handle the fermented taste. Meanwhile, if spoilage occurs due to mold or bacterial overgrowth, the taste will become bitter and completely off-putting. In case of spoilage, discard the Elderberry Syrup completely.

Processing in small batch keeps the freshness and nutrient content maximized. Compare that to the product sitting on the shelf for months. The process also gives us more control over quality. Each batch goes through a single stage of the production process before moving onto the next stage to make the desired product.

All of our ingredients 100% USDA Certified Organic . At this point, we have decided to go the route of Independent 3rd party lab testing.

Free radical and antioxidants go hand in hand. Our bodies naturally produce free radicals. They are essentially highly reactive particles, that are free-roaming throughout the body causing cellular damage. As a result, they cause many negative health conditions and diseases. Free radicals are a product of poor diet, sedentary lifestyle, and other environmental toxins and stressors. Antioxidants prevent and help us recover from free radicals causing cellular damage, as a result preventing or helping recovery from disease. Therefore, the role of antioxidants through food and supplements is essential to one’s health in order to neutralize these free radicals.

ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. It is a measure of the amount of antioxidants in a given food product or supplement. Developed by the United States Department of Agriculture USDA in conjunction with Brunswick Labs in Southborough, Massachusetts. ORAC score or value is a useful indicator of total antioxidant content. The higher the ORAC, the more the antioxidant potency of that given food product or supplement. While not official, some researchers at the USDA recommend consuming about 3000-5000 total ORAC (measured in micromol Trolox Equivalent/100g) daily from foods and/or supplements.

Our Premium Elderberry Syrup contains lab verified 675 total ORAC per teaspoon serving. While, our Aronia Magic contains 4300 total ORAC per tablespoon serving.
