What are the benefits of Elderberry Syrup?

We are excited to announce that we’ve added Cassie Green’s Elderberry Syrup to our curated selection of vitamins and supplements! The addition of Cassie Green’s Elderberry Syrup to your healthcare routine is an innovative way for you to explore and consume traditional remedies in everyday life.

Elderberry syrup is a liquid supplement containing extract from dark purple berries of the elderberry shrub tree. Elder flowers and berries include high amounts of antioxidants and vitamins that may boost immune systems, reduce inflammation, and can help prevent cold and flu symptoms. Elderberries are also high in vitamin C, dietary fiber, and have been known to be traditionally used as natural pain relievers. Other uses for elderberry syrup can include aid for minor headaches, joint and muscle soreness, and experiencing stress. 

Elderberry juice syrup and its health benefits are nothing new, but Cassie Green and Gary Stephens at Cassie Green Health are effectively bringing their holistic supplement to the modern health and wellness market by partnering with us at Designer Drugs Pharmacy. Cassie Green Health started out as a favor for a friend, but quickly turned into a business that is helping many customers stay proactive with their digestion, symptom prevention, and strengthening their immune system. 

We are looking forward to seeing how our customers use and improve their routines with elderberry syrup, which is now available in-store for an affordable price! The recommended daily dose for an elderberry supplement is 1 tsp-1 tbsp/day for general immunity and 3-4 tbsp/day if you are experiencing onset cold or flu-like symptoms, or elevated allergies.

Elderberry extract is said to be simple and safe to introduce into a wellness routine, but consultations with one’s doctor is recommended with the addition of any dietary supplement. Elderberry syrup is for supplemental use only and is not a treatment product, part of a treatment plan, or a prescribed medication, and should not be regarded as such.
