Most likely, you’ll take elderberry as a supplement. You’ll find these in gummies, liquids or juices, syrups, lozenges, dried, and in capsule form.
You can buy elderberry jelly, jam, and wine online and in some stores. The taste is sweet and tart and, overall, enjoyable. But note that most research studies have focused on supplements and pure extracts, and not on other forms of elderberry like juices and jams.
Elderberry Supplements
Elderberry gummies are tasty, but they do have added sugar. When you’re buying elderberry, you’ll frequently find supplements that include a mix of elderberry and potential immune supportive supplements like zinc and vitamin C.
Other supplements may include only elderberry as the active ingredient. Choose the formula that suits your needs the best, and read the ingredients label to know what active and inactive components each contains.
Elderberry Jam
Certain country stores and online outlets sell elderberry jelly and jam; use and store it as you would other jellies and jams.
Elderberry Juice
Elderberry Wine
While it’s unclear whether wine offers the same potential benefits of elderberry extract, elderberry in this form is common. You can find elderberry wine at some wineries and their associated online stores, where the winemakers may feature wine made from only elderberries or blends with other berries.
