Elderberry Extract
Source Naturals Wellness
Overview
This product combines elderberry fruit and flower extracts, which have shown promise in supporting immune function. However, the use of a proprietary blend obscures the exact amounts of each ingredient, making it difficult to assess the efficacy of this specific formulation. Furthermore the amount of calcium in this product is very high for a non-calcium product, and may cause digestive discomfort in some users. The inclusion of proprietary blends does offer some minor immune benefits, but there is a lack of transparency and uncertainty about precise dosages.
