Dosage & Bioavailability
How the active doses and forms in Sambucus Immune Elderberry With Vitamin C Zinc Echinacea Propolis compare to the research.
•Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) — 50 mg per serving; studies use 200-3,000 mg/day.
•Proprietary Blend: Echinacea angustifolia (root) Extract and Echinacea purpurea (flower) Extract, Propolis — total for a blend; the amount of each ingredient in it is hidden.
•Black Elder (Sambucus nigra L.) (berry) Extract standardized to anthocyanins from 3,200 mg of premium cultivar elderberries — this looks like a raw-herb equivalent rather than the extract amount, so it cannot be compared with studied extract doses.
