What Is The Purpose Of Elderberries?
2. Elderberries are a dark purple berry that is used to strengthen and boost your immune system. Along with organic ingredients, elderberries prevent / counteract cold and flu symptoms, improves respiratory health, headaches, relieves anti-viral conditions, and helps with seasonal allergies.
Why Brave’s Berries Elderberry Syrup Instead Of Store Brands?
3. Store brand Elderberry Syrup has processed preservatives that do not require refrigeration. Due to preservatives and artificial sweeteners, these products can last well over a year. Brave's Berries Elderberry Syrup is made fresh, there is no preservatives and is sold within two weeks of request. I use organic spices and local clover honey from a bee keeper which not only gives you a natural sweetener, but also guides your body into a better immune system.

Should I Refrigerate Once I Receive My Elderberry Syrup?
5. Due to the contents of this product, please refrigerate once your order arrives. Brave's Berries Elderberry Syrup does not create an environment for harmful bacteria to grow and is still safe even if left warm for 4-5 days. The shelf life is up to 3 months (keeping the product warm may take a couple of days off the shelf life however, you can freeze the product as well to extend shelf time). I do stress the product keeps a longer shelf life refrigerated/ frozen and taste even more delicious cold!
