Anima Mundi's Elderberry undergoes a double extraction process, which includes both a decoction and extraction in alcohol and vegetable glycerin. While many elderberry syrup products and recipes often use honey, this time, we've created a highly potent extract by combining elderberry with a generous ratio of herbal antivirals such as Skullcap baikalensis, Cordyceps, Reishi, Shiitake, and Maiitake.
These herbal antivirals are not only powerful immune supporters but also renowned as respiratory tonics. All of the mushrooms used in this formulation are 100% certified organic and grown in Washington state, where both the fruiting body and mycelium are utilized.
This is extra potent, and vegan. Anima Mundi doesn't use honey like classic formulations, instead they use organic vegetable glycerin (VG) and organic cane alcohol along with having a high ratio of a high potency extract of herbal antivirals to exalt the immune protective potential. They chose vegetable glycerin (VG) for the Elderberry Immune Elixir over honey or sweeteners like traditional recipes, for several reasons:
VG has a sweetness to it, but contains no sugar and therefore makes our elderberry syrup completely sugar-free, safe for diabetics and vegans.
This elderberry syrup travels just as easily as our tonics and elixirs. Just pop it in your bag and go.
VG allows for it to be shelf stable, therefore it does not require refrigeration like the honey, or other sweetener, based ones. While we absolutely think the honey or agave ones are quite a treat, they find that if you're doing truly medicinal doses of 4-6 teaspoons per day at the first sign of illness, the sugar adds up.
Each bottle is 3-4 week supply. We suggest taking 1 teaspoon daily.
Children: Ages 4 and up: 1 teaspoon daily Ages 1-3: ¼ teaspoon daily dissolved in water, juice, tea, etc.
Elderberry is meant to be high-dosed when you’re exposed to a bug, and you feel the onset of symptoms. This is why they really chose doing sugar free, because sugar feeds the potential pathogens. The dosage is variable as it depends if you're using for ongoing resilience and protection, or when "hit" with something. For regular consumption 1tsp a day is good, when you experience the early stages of a cold or flu, take 4-6tsp throughout the day.
