In the wake of the global pandemic, more consumers than ever are turning to dietary supplements to support immune health. In March 2020, sales of immunity products surged 199% year-over-year, with elderberry ranking as a top seller.

We’re taking a stand against adulterated elderberry

The recent explosion of interest in elderberry to support immune health has led to an influx of adulterated elderberry ingredients entering the U.S. We’re strengthening our partnership with American Botanical Council’s Botanical Adulterants Prevention Program (BAPP) and botanical testing specialists Alkemist Labs to help prevent these fraudulent ingredients from penetrating the market.

Sales of immunity supplements surpassed $5 billion for the first time according to Nutrition Business Journal. But immune health isn’t just about elderberry. We offer a range of science-backed, immune-supporting ingredients.
