Elderberry Immune Syrup with Aronia – a 50/50 blend of Elderberry and Aronia Berries
Our customers call it the “Magic Juice”! Find out why…
Perhaps the closest berry in comparison to the Aronia Berry is the Elderberry.Elderberry is more well-known than Aronia, yet as we all struggle through COVID, cold and flu seasons, the hunt is on for holistic remedies to boost the immune system or shorten the duration and the severity of the illness. Both Aronia Berry and the Elderberry do provide some supplemental benefits to a well-balanced diet and help maintain a state of health and wellness. However, there are differences between the two berries and the better option overall appears to be the Aronia Berry for its higher antioxidant benefits.
Though the Elderberry is the closest to the Aronia Berry in flavonoids and polyphenols, the antioxidant fighting compounds of the Elderberry still don’t quite measure up to Aronia on the USDA Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity or ORAC Scale. 100 grams of the Elderberry scaled in at 14,697 on the ORAC value scale, while 100 grams of the Aronia Berry scaled in at a whopping 16,062 on the ORAC value scale.
Both the Aronia Berry and the Elderberry provide excellent sources of fiber, Vitamin A and Vitamin C. However, the Aronia Berry tops the Elderberry as a great source of potassium, iron, zinc and magnesium as well. The Aronia Berry offers a better make up of vitamins and minerals the body needs to maintain optimum health and wellness.
Like the Aronia Berry, the Elderberry is grown primarily in North America and Europe. The state of Missouri produces the largest crop of Elderberries in the world, while Iowa is the largest producer of Aronia Berries in the United States, and Poland the largest overall producer of Aronia Berries in the world. The Elderberry Immune Syrup with Aronia is the perfect combination of Iowa Aronia and Missouri Elderberry. The powerful immune boost of this product makes it a favorite among many.
With the coming cold and flu season and the push for more holistic home remedies to give a boost to the immune system, both the Aronia Berry and the Elderberry may offer some form of supplemental assistance. However, given the comparison of the two, my money is still on the Aronia Berry for the a higher boost in antioxidant elements, and while the two berries have their similarities, there’s still no denying the health and wellness benefits inherent in the “power of purple”.
The “Power of Purple” has been evident in our household. While one of us got the flu, the other who is more faithful with his consumption did not. Coincidence? I think not.
We have teamed up with the wonderful folks at Elder Farms in southwest Missouri. They grow certified organic Elderberries and hemp. One of their favorite products is a 50/50 blend of our Aronia Berries and their Elderberries, sweetened with honey and a touch of ceylon cinnamon. It is a terrific item to have in your arsenal to boost your immune system.
