Black Elderberry Extract - Sambucus for Winter
Black Elderberry Extract (10:1) 500mg from EssentialSeries, is an extract from the fruit of the Sambucus nigra tree, 10 times more concentrated, and standardized to 30% in natural Sambucus polyphenols, which is why its fruits are so widely consumed as a functional food.
Sambucus nigra is a species of the Adoxaceae family. It is native to Europe, northwest Africa, southwest Asia, and western North America. It is quite common and widespread in California and is most commonly called Black Elderberry. Its fruit is a dark purple to black berry 3 to 5 millimeters in diameter, produced in drooping clusters in late fall, and is an important food for many frugivorous birds.
The black elderberry produces a fruit traditionally used for centuries for culinary and nutritional applications. Enjoy the extract of its fruit, more concentrated and with a guaranteed supply of the polyphenols that characterize it.
A Natural Extract with Vitamin C | Take Care of Yourself with HSN Products
10 Times More Concentrated Extract - High Potency Assured
The fruit of the Sambucus plant contains naturally occurring compounds, such as polyphenols, which make the fruit a highly valued part of this plant for its nutritional characteristics.
However, it is necessary to consume a large amount of the plant's fruits to obtain the benefits derived from its consumption, as the concentration of these polyphenols and other active compounds is very low.
The way to improve its administration is through extraction processes, which allow the naturally occurring compounds in the fruit to be concentrated.
The HSN extract presents high quality, as thanks to its format 10 times more concentrated, the presence of active compounds in the product is greater, allowing you to get more with less.
The daily dose of 3 capsules of black elderberry extract, providing 1.5g of extract, is equivalent to consuming more than 15 grams of fruit. That's how concentrated it is!
Exclusively Sourced from the Fruit of the Certified Species Sambucus nigra
Plant extracts sometimes, especially when developed by companies with inadequate quality control, can be prepared with different parts of the same plant and can still be called 'black elderberry extracts'.
However, the value of different parts of the same plant varies significantly, as the 'nutritional quality' provided by a fruit is very different from the bark or root of the same plant.
At HSN we ensure the traceability of the extract preparation, guaranteeing that 100% of the extract is obtained from the fruit of the black elderberry, and not from other parts of the plant with lower nutritional quality.
Guaranteed Content of Characteristic Polyphenols - 30% of Its Composition
Although extracts concentrate more of the naturally occurring active compounds in plants, if the methods used to extract them are not of quality, certain biocompounds can degrade and lose presence and/or activity.
At HSN we standardize our Elderberry extract to 30% in polyphenols why is this important?
Because thanks to this, you can be sure that the daily dose of our extract always provides a minimum guaranteed content of 450mg of Sambucus polyphenols, without degradation, fully bioavailable, and without variations between manufacturing batches.
HSN only works with the best raw materials to enjoy a total quality guarantee.

What is Sambucus and What Characterizes Its Fruit
Black elderberry is a tree whose fruits are still used today for culinary and herbal preparations, and have been traditionally used for centuries by native cultures in the areas where the tree grows and is naturally harvested.
Black elderberry fruits are naturally low in calories, provide a considerable amount of fiber, and have a tart taste that characterizes them, despite their natural fructose content which makes them sweet.
The fruit extracts are appreciated for the properties attributed to the plant, among which are aspects such as being rich in antioxidants like anthocyanins and flavonoids, showing antioxidant activity and helping to protect against oxidative stress, and helping to support the immune system and the body's defenses.
Why Buy Black Elderberry Extract and Not Natural Fruit?
For the aforementioned reason regarding the variability of the fruit's characteristics.
You should consider that depending on the soil, season, cultivation and/or harvesting methods to which the black elderberry is exposed, its nutritional composition will vary significantly and is never stable, besides the concentration of active compounds as such is much lower, requiring greater consumption of natural fruits to approach adequate doses.
Plant extracts are much superior options to take advantage of their nutritional and functional benefits, as they are more concentrated, and their treatment methods standardize, or ensure an adequate supply of the compounds that are nutritionally interesting, as long as the extracts are of quality, like at HSN.
