The healing effects of Elderberry

A tincture is a concentrated herbal extract made by soaking plant material in alcohol. The alcohol pulls the beneficial compounds, in this case, the immunity-supportive properties of elderberries, and preserves them for long-term use. Elderberry tincture can last up to a few years if stored properly (cool dark location).  Alcohol-based tinctures typically last 3-5 years when stored properly. This tincture is commonly used to support immune function, especially during cold and flu season.
