Black Elderberry Chewable Tablets
Sambucol
Overview
This product contains Black Elderberry fruit extract and Vitamin C, both scientifically supported for immune health. The elderberry extract is dosed at 100mg, which, while providing the equivalent of 1.7g of elderberry, is at the lower end of clinically effective doses that typically range from 300mg to 1,000mg for acute use. Vitamin C is provided at a robust 200mg per serving, which is effective for immune support.
