What Is Elderberry Syrup?
At-home remedies are a tale as old as time–and elderberry syrup has always been a staple. Healthy as well as tasty, elderberry syrup is a great supplement to integrate into one’s routine to help boost immune system functionality and protect against both bacterial and viral infections. Great for colds, sore throats, flu symptoms, and more, elderberries are filled with antioxidants and vitamins that help to prevent and lessen the symptoms of a common cold.
Elderberry fruit is one of the top sources for antioxidants, which can help to reduce inflammation and can be a great asset to those seeking weight loss. Elderberries have anti-inflammatory properties, anti-carcinogenic properties, and they’re a great source of vitamin A–which is great for skin!
Who Is Bluegrass Elderberry?
Locally made right here in Lexington, Kentucky, Laura Sizemore is the mastermind behind this revolutionary product. Sizemore sells her bottled batches at the Lexington Farmers Market every Saturday from 8AM to 1PM. In addition to her individual sales, Bluegrass Elderberry Syrup is sold by various retailers around Lexington–including us, Bluegrass Hemp Oil!
Handcrafted in small batches and neatly bottled in clear glass, Bluegrass Elderberry Syrup is made with reverse osmosis water, wild fresh frozen elderberries, local Kentucky raw honey or Kentucky maple syrup, fresh organic KY ginger root, organic ceylon cinnamon, and organic whole cloves. She prices her product at $20 per 8oz bottle and $35 per 16oz bottle. The 8oz bottle contains 16 adult servings, while the 16oz bottle holds 32 servings. The recommended serving size for Bluegrass Elderberry Syrup is one tablespoon for adults; if needed, the serving size can be increased 3-4 times per day for up to one week. For children over the age of two, the recommended serving size is one teaspoon.
Like our own company, you can trust the quality of Bluegrass Elderberry because Sizemore makes her syrup with her own children’s health in mind. Not only is she crafting elderberry syrup for the benefit of loyal, local customers, but she knows that in every batch, there’s a bottle for her to keep at home, as well! Fresh frozen at the peak of ripeness, never dried, and free of any harmful chemicals, Bluegrass Elderberry Syrup is a business you can put your faith in.
How Can I Add It Into My Routine?
Adding Elderberry Syrup into your daily routine, in addition to your daily CBD servings, could be the best thing for your immune system and the remedy to those relentless allergies. Mixing your new elderberry syrup supplement with your daily CBD routine is a great way to stay healthy–and a great way to stay consistent. Combining elderberry syrup with your Genesis Blend Hemp Extract boosts immune health, skin revitalization, and provides anti-inflammatory benefits. At Bluegrass Hemp Oil, we recommend taking your CBD sublingually to achieve the best results. However, stirring some of your hemp extract oil in with an elderberry drink can be a fun and tasty way to stay healthy too!
