Black Elderberry Syrup
Sambucol Black Elderberry Syrup is a botanical supplement primarily featuring 3.8 grams of elderberry extract per 10 mL serving. This product, with a total of 3 ingredients, received an N+ Score of 59, earning it an 'F' grade, indicating a lower overall quality assessment. While the label transparency is 100%, the formula completeness and ingredient adequacy scores are modest. Research suggests elderberry may support immune health, but this product does not list specific active compounds or their standardized amounts, and no ingredients are identified at clinically studied doses. This product may be suitable for individuals seeking a basic elderberry supplement with transparent labeling, but it lacks the comprehensive formulation and ingredient dosing often found in higher-rated products.
