Herbal Supplement. Alcohol-free. Immune support. Active responder. Black Elderberry Glycerite. Gluten-free. Contains no alcohol. Fresh herb/menstruum ratio: 1:4. We prepare our Black Elderberry Glycerite from the fully-ripened berries of Sambucus nigra trees which are certified organically grown and/or sustainably wildcrafted in their natural wild habitat. To assure optimal extraction of Black Elderberry's bioactive compounds, the berries are hand-harvested only when fully mature, are carefully shade-dried to retain their full color & aroma, and are then thoroughly extracted. www.herb-pharm.com.
