2. The Elderberry used by Home Herbs

This tincture uses organic elderberries. Our herb guide identifies Elderberry as Sambucus nigra, the European or black elder. The botanical name identifies the species, while the plant part tells you which material is used.

For the plant’s wider background, read our Elderberry Herbal Information.

3. The botanical behind the tincture

Our herb guide distinguishes the berry’s botanical and traditional background from evidence about a finished product. Research on other elderberry preparations does not establish the effects of this tincture.

No amount of any individual botanical constituent, vitamin or mineral is stated for this product. Its 1:2 preparation ratio is not a measurement of those constituents and does not establish its nutritional content.

4. Why elderberries?

The berries are the selected plant material for this preparation, rather than the flowers, leaves or bark. Elderberry and elderflower identify different plant materials and should not be treated as interchangeable product descriptions.

Identifying the plant part clarifies what is extracted; it does not imply therapeutic superiority.

5. A single-herb tincture

Elderberry is the only herbal ingredient, rather than a blend of herbs. Alcohol and water form the extraction liquid. This single-herb tincture is a different formulation from the Home Herbs Winter Support blend.

Ingredients:

  • Organic elderberries
  • Organic gluten-free alcohol
  • Filtered spring water

6. Understanding the 1:2 ratio

Home Herbs Organic Elderberry Tincture is prepared at a 1:2 ratio, as are all Home Herbs tinctures. This describes one part herbal starting material in relation to two parts extraction liquid, according to the production method.

This ratio describes preparation, not dosage or alcohol percentage. It does not prove that a tincture is stronger, better or more effective than one prepared at another ratio.
