Let’s talk elderberry! We often have customers ask when or how to take our products for the maximum effect. We hope these tips below help to answer your questions.

How often should I elderberry?

I like to take it every day for immune support and inflammation. Peer-reviewed published research studies show that the anti-inflammatory effect of the phytonutrients in elderberries is significant. I take a teaspoon to a tablespoon of the SIPS daily. 

I use the travel 2-oz bottle of SIPS when I feel ill and I sip on it every hour or two. It’s juice. I drink the 2-oz bottle over a day when I feel ill. 

Why should I take elderberry?

Elderberry’s anthocyanins are a heavy-duty workhorse. They are powerful antioxidants that reduce oxidative stress throughout the body. They even cross the blood-brain barrier to help reduce brain inflammation. I keep an 8-oz bottle in the fridge after I open it and take a teaspoon daily.

Several studies show taking elderberry at the first sign of illness is comparable to Tamiflu and Paxlovid the prescription antivirals for lessening the flu or covid. They help reduce the viral load and lessen the duration of the flu and COVID-19. Elderberry has shikimic acid in it which is the main ingredient in Tamiflu.

That’s why the travel bottle is perfect! It goes with you everywhere. It even gets through TSA and onto the plane so you don’t ruin your vacation. 

How often should I take Lion’s Mane?

Lion’s Mane mushroom is a tincture. You can take half of a dropper daily to help support brain connection, dendrite growth, and fight brain fog.

Do you have any products with both elderberry and Lion’s Mane?

I have a new product LIONBERRY BRAINIAC LEMONAIDE TONIC that is a nice and light refresher. It has Lion’s Mane, elderberry, elderflower, pea flower, a bit of citrus and honey. It’s delicious and great for brain health. It will be out next week. 

What makes your elderberry products different?

The difference between my products and the elderberry syrup you may see from other vendors is that I don’t cook and boil to reduce the elderberry to syrup. This is the traditional method. The big companies sell syrup and gummies but all the anthocyanins are degraded in the heat.

Why should I buy from Lionberry?

Buying local and regional helps us strengthen our food supply chains and avoid shipping disruptions. Invest in the land you live off of.

I’m a farmer. How do I help Lionberry?
