A Seasonal Syrup of Echinacea Root & Elderberry
Echinacea & Elderberry Syrup is a concentrated, alcohol-free syrup for the colder months, taken daily by adults and young people aged 12 and over. Echinacea root and elderberry are prepared in a base of vegetable glycerine and water, with a fruity berry flavour.
The Herbs
Echinacea & Elderberry Syrup pairs two of the most respected herbs in traditional seasonal care: one to support the immune response, and one rich in protective antioxidants. Together they make a daily syrup for colder weather, busy workplaces and travel.
To Defend
Echinacea Root (Echinacea purpurea): One of the most widely used herbs for the body's natural immune defences, long taken through the winter months to support normal immune function.
To Protect
Elderberry (Sambucus nigra): Naturally rich in anthocyanins and antioxidant plant compounds that help protect cells from oxidative stress through seasonal change.
Why a Syrup?
Built around whole herbal extracts, the syrup's base of vegetable glycerine, water and a little sugar gives a pleasant taste that makes it easy to take every day, from a spoon or stirred into warm water.

Our Echinacea & Elderberry Syrup has been formulated by our Medical Herbalists to support the body's natural immune defences and promote everyday wellbeing during seasonal changes. It combines two of the most respected traditional immune-supporting botanicals in a convenient, alcohol-free daily syrup for adults and young people aged 12 years and over.
While both products contain Elderberry, this formulation also includes concentrated Echinacea Root, creating a broader botanical approach to everyday immune support. Our Pure Elderberry Syrup is a simpler formulation and is more suitable for younger children, whereas this product has been specifically developed for adults and young people aged 12 years and over.
This formulation is suitable for young people aged 12 years and over. It is not suitable for children under 12 years of age. If you are looking for a child-friendly alternative, we recommend our Pure Elderberry Syrup, which has been specifically formulated without Echinacea.
No. This formulation is not recommended during pregnancy or whilst breastfeeding. If you are looking for herbal support during this time, we recommend speaking with your GP or contacting one of our Medical Herbalists for personalised advice.
Yes. Unlike many traditional herbal tinctures, this formulation is entirely alcohol-free. The botanical extracts are prepared in a vegetable glycerine and purified water base, creating a pleasant-tasting syrup suitable for everyday use.
In many cases, yes. However, if you are taking prescription medication, have an underlying medical condition or are unsure whether this supplement is appropriate for you, we recommend consulting your GP, pharmacist or one of our Medical Herbalists before combining supplements.
Taking the syrup with food may help improve comfort for people with sensitive stomachs while making it easier to incorporate into a regular daily wellness routine.
Yes. Every ingredient in this syrup is derived from plants. The formula contains vegetable glycerine and botanical extracts only, with no honey, gelatine or other animal-derived ingredients, making it suitable for both vegetarians and vegans.
Plant derived ethanol is traditionally used by Medical Herbalists to extract important botanical compounds that are not readily extracted in water alone. It helps preserve the natural integrity of the herbs while allowing concentrated botanical extracts, such as those found in Sage and Echinacea, to be delivered in a convenient oral spray.
