Have an Elderberry Question?
Frequently Asked Questions
What is elderberry syrup, and what are the benefits?
Elderberry syrup is a daily wellness supplement made from Sambucus nigra berries, commonly used to support the immune system, especially during cold and flu season. Elderberries are rich in antioxidants and have been widely studied for their role in immune support, which is why many families include elderberry syrup as part of their daily routine.
For a deeper breakdown of how elderberry works and why it is so popular, see our blog on elderberry benefits and immune support.
Why do you call it a syrup?
Elderberry syrup is called a syrup because raw honey is added to the cooked elderberries to naturally sweeten the blend. Without honey, elderberries are very bitter. We use only high-quality local Kentucky raw honey, sourced from a trusted beekeeper with hives across multiple counties.
You can learn more about why raw honey matters over on our blog.
How much elderberry syrup should I take each day?
Adults: 1/2 to 1 tablespoon daily
Children: 1/2 to 1 teaspoon daily
During times of increased exposure or seasonal illness, many people take their normal serving every 2 to 3 hours until symptoms improve. Elderberry syrup should never replace medical care, but it is commonly used as a supportive wellness supplement.
Our blog on how to take elderberry syrup safely explains dosage, timing, and common questions in more detail.
What does elderberry syrup taste like?
Sweet ’n Simple Elderberry Syrup has a smooth, lightly sweet flavor with a subtle creamsicle-style finish, making it easy for both kids and adults to enjoy daily.
What makes Sweet ’n Simple Elderberry Syrup different from store-bought syrups?
Sweet ’n Simple stands apart from store-bought elderberry syrups in three key ways: ingredients, taste, and value.
Our recipe includes more than just elderberries. We intentionally chose these added ingredients: Goji Berries, Rose Hips, and Star Anise for their natural wellness properties.
We use raw local honey instead of glucose syrup or artificial sweeteners, add no preservatives, and keep our pricing accessible while maintaining small-batch quality.
How long does elderberry syrup last?
Because we do not use preservatives, elderberry syrup should be stored in the refrigerator and used within six months. Honey acts as a natural preservative, but proper refrigeration is essential.
For longer storage, some customers freeze the syrup in ice cube trays or popsicle molds, which can extend its shelf life to over a year.
Is your elderberry syrup organic?
We use USDA Organic certified ingredients whenever possible, but Sweet ’n Simple Elderberry is not currently USDA Certified Organic as a company.
Our focus is on sourcing clean, high-quality ingredients and maintaining transparency about what goes into every batch.
Is elderberry syrup safe to take every day?
Yes, elderberry syrup is commonly taken daily as part of a regular wellness routine. Many people use it year-round to support immune health and increase their intake during seasonal changes or times of higher exposure.
For guidance on daily use and consistency, see our blog on how often to take elderberry syrup.
Can children take elderberry syrup?
Elderberry syrup is widely used by families and is commonly taken by children in age-appropriate servings. Always follow recommended serving sizes and consult your pediatrician if you have specific concerns or your child has underlying conditions.
Our blog on elderberry syrup as a back-to-school routine for kids covers common questions parents ask
What should I look for when buying elderberry syrup?
When choosing an elderberry syrup, look for simple ingredients, no artificial preservatives, real honey instead of corn syrup, and transparency from the maker. Small-batch production often results in better quality and taste.
Our blog on how to choose the best elderberry syrup walks through this step-by-step.
