Elderberry

Compare every Elderberry product across UK retailers on Suppio, ranked by true value - price per active dose, not pack size. Prices refreshed daily.

Antioxidant-rich berry extract supporting immune function and reducing cold duration

We rank Elderberry by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.

What it is

Elderberry is a supplement made from the berries of the Sambucus plant. It is highly concentrated in antioxidants, which are substances that help protect your cells from damage caused by unstable molecules called free radicals.

Why it's used

This ingredient is primarily used to support the immune system, which is the body's natural defence against illness. It is often taken to help reduce the amount of time a person suffers from a cold.

How it's made

The berries are harvested and then processed using a solvent to pull out the active compounds. This liquid is then evaporated to create a concentrated extract, which is then dried into a powder for use in capsules or turned into a syrup.

What it typically costs

Elderberry is generally mid-range in price. This is because the berries must be harvested and processed into a concentrated extract rather than being used as a simple raw powder, which adds to the production cost.
