FAQ
Q1: How does elderberry combat flu viruses?
A: Anthocyanins block viral hemagglutinin (prevents cell entry) and inhibit neuraminidase (stops viral spread).
Q2: Is it safe for children?
A: Yes. Clinical trials show safety at 300mg/day for children >4 years.
Q3: Why choose 25% anthocyanins?
A: Higher concentrations (25%+) deliver clinically validated results vs. low-potency extracts.
Q4: MOQ and customization?
A: Samples (50g) available; MOQ 10kg. Custom anthocyanin levels (5%-25%) and ratios (5:1 to 20:1).
Q5: Extraction method advantages?
A: Ethanol/water preserves heat-sensitive anthocyanins vs. hot-water methods (degrades actives).
