NOW Foods Elderberry Liquid Extract 10:1 - Immune Support & Antioxidant Concentrate

NOW Foods has been a trusted name in natural health solutions since 1968, bringing science-backed herbal supplements to millions worldwide. Their Elderberry Liquid 10:1 Concentrate delivers 500mg of potent Sambucus nigra fruit extract per teaspoon—now available across Bangladesh at a transparent price of ৳2,990 for the convenient 237ml bottle. This pharmaceutical-grade liquid provides approximately 47 servings of concentrated elderberry goodness, offering exceptional value for families seeking natural immune support.

Sourced from premium European elderberries and manufactured in NOW's GMP-certified facilities, this alcohol-free formula uses vegetable glycerin extraction to preserve the fruit's naturally occurring anthocyanins and vitamins. Unlike generic elderberry syrups flooding the Bangladesh market, NOW's 10:1 concentration means each teaspoon equals 5,000mg of fresh elderberries—delivering maximum nutritive potency in minimal volume. The naturally sweet taste makes it enjoyable for the whole family, whether taken directly or mixed with water or juice.

What Makes NOW Foods Elderberry Concentrate Different?

Not all elderberry supplements are created equal, and NOW Foods sets itself apart through concentration ratio and purity standards that matter for Bangladesh consumers:

• 10:1 Pharmaceutical-Grade Concentration: Each 500mg serving represents 5,000mg of fresh elderberry fruit—far superior to standard 1:1 or 5:1 extracts commonly sold in BD. This concentration maximizes the bioavailability of anthocyanins, the powerful antioxidant compounds that give elderberries their deep purple color and health-promoting properties.
• Alcohol-Free Vegetable Glycerin Base: Unlike tinctures using alcohol extraction, NOW's glycerin-based formula is suitable for all family members and maintains ingredient integrity without harsh solvents. The vegetable glycerin naturally preserves freshness while adding a pleasant sweet taste without added sugars or artificial sweeteners.
• European Sambucus nigra Sourcing: NOW exclusively uses Sambucus nigra (European black elderberry), the species with the most extensive traditional use and scientific research. This differs from American elderberry varieties (Sambucus canadensis) which have different phytochemical profiles. European elderberries contain higher concentrations of anthocyanins—specifically cyanidin-3-glucoside and cyanidin-3-sambubioside—the compounds most studied for immune-supporting properties.
• GMP Manufacturing with Third-Party Testing: Every batch undergoes rigorous quality control in NOW's FDA-registered, GMP-certified facilities in the United States. Testing includes heavy metal screening, microbial contamination checks, and potency verification. This level of quality assurance addresses major concerns about supplement authenticity in the Bangladesh market.
• Free from 8 Major Allergens: Manufactured in a dedicated facility free from yeast, wheat, gluten, soy, milk, egg, fish, and shellfish ingredients—critical for families managing dietary restrictions or sensitivities common in South Asian populations.
• Natural Preservation Without Harsh Chemicals: Uses only citric acid and potassium sorbate (a naturally-derived preservative) to maintain freshness. No artificial colors, flavors, or synthetic preservatives.

This combination of high-concentration extraction, pure sourcing, and transparent manufacturing makes NOW's Elderberry Concentrate a superior choice compared to locally-made syrups or imported alternatives of questionable origin often sold at similar price points in Bangladesh.

Key Health Benefits & Why Bangladesh Needs Elderberry Support

Elderberry (Sambucus nigra) has been used in European traditional medicine for centuries, and modern research supports its role as a nutritive-dense whole food supplement. In the Bangladesh context—where seasonal transitions, urban pollution, and dietary gaps can challenge wellness—elderberry's concentrated antioxidant profile offers valuable nutritional support:

• Supports Seasonal Wellness: Elderberries are naturally rich in anthocyanins and flavonoids that help maintain the body's natural defenses during monsoon season and winter months when respiratory challenges are common in Dhaka, Chittagong, and other major cities. The fruit's high vitamin C content supports overall immune function, particularly important for families with school-age children exposed to crowded environments.
• Potent Antioxidant Activity: With an ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) value significantly higher than blueberries or cranberries, elderberry helps neutralize free radicals generated by environmental stressors—pollution, UV exposure, and oxidative stress from modern urban living in Bangladesh. Anthocyanins support cellular health and help maintain the body's natural inflammatory response.
• Nutritive Density for Diet Gaps: Traditional Bangladeshi diets rich in rice, lentils, and vegetables are nutritionally valuable but may lack certain phytonutrients found in berries uncommon to South Asian cuisine. Elderberry concentrate provides vitamins A, B6, and C, plus minerals like iron and potassium, complementing local dietary patterns without requiring expensive imported fresh berries.
• Cardiovascular Wellness Support: Emerging research suggests elderberry anthocyanins help maintain healthy cholesterol levels already within normal range and support vascular health—relevant for Bangladesh's growing concern with heart health in urban populations adopting more sedentary lifestyles and processed food consumption.
• Digestive Comfort: Elderberries contain dietary fiber and gentle compounds that support digestive regularity and comfort, particularly beneficial during dietary changes or travel.
• Skin Health from Within: The high antioxidant content supports skin health by protecting against environmental damage—a concern for many in Bangladesh's tropical climate with intense sun exposure and humidity.

Important Note: These statements describe elderberry's nutritional properties based on traditional use and scientific research.

How to Use NOW Elderberry Liquid - Dosage & Timing

Recommended Serving: Take 1 teaspoon (5 mL) one to three times daily, depending on your wellness needs and goals.

Three Ways to Take:

1. Direct Method: Take the teaspoon directly from the bottle for maximum convenience—the naturally sweet taste from vegetable glycerin and elderberries makes it pleasant without dilution
2. Mixed with Water: Add to a glass of room temperature or cold water for a refreshing elderberry drink (avoid hot water which may degrade some heat-sensitive compounds)
3. Added to Juice or Smoothies: Blend into your morning smoothie or mix with your favorite juice—works particularly well with orange juice, pomegranate juice, or coconut water popular in Bangladesh

Best Time to Take:

• Morning: With or after breakfast to kickstart your day with antioxidant support
• Midday: As an afternoon wellness boost, especially during seasonal transitions
• Evening: Before bed for overnight cellular repair support
• Consistency Matters: For best results, take daily as part of your wellness routine rather than sporadically

Important Usage Tips:

• Shake Well Before Each Use: Natural settling occurs in concentrated fruit extracts—shaking ensures even distribution of active compounds
• Use the Measuring Cap: The bottle comes with a measuring cap for accurate teaspoon dosing (5 mL)
• For Children: While elderberry is traditionally used for all ages in European herbalism, consult your pediatrician for appropriate dosing for children under 12 years in Bangladesh's climate and health context
• Storage After Opening: Refrigerate after opening and store in a cool, dry, dark place to preserve potency. Keep away from direct sunlight and heat (important in Bangladesh's tropical climate—avoid storing near windows or in warm kitchens). Properly stored, the product maintains quality through the expiration date printed on the bottle.

Who Should Consult a Healthcare Provider First:

• Pregnant or nursing women (limited research on high-dose elderberry during pregnancy)
• Individuals taking immunosuppressant medications or with autoimmune conditions
• Those with diabetes (contains natural sugars from glycerin and fruit—monitor blood glucose)
• Anyone scheduled for surgery (discontinue 2 weeks prior as a precaution)
• Individuals with known allergies to plants in the Caprifoliaceae family

Maximum Daily Intake: Do not exceed 3 teaspoons (15 mL) daily unless directed by a healthcare professional. More is not necessarily better with concentrated herbal extracts.

Price, Value & Availability in Bangladesh

Transparent Pricing

Price: ৳2,990 for 237 mL (approximately 47 servings)

Cost Per Serving Breakdown:

• Single Daily Dose (1 tsp): ৳63.60 per day
• Moderate Use (2 tsp/day): ৳127.20 per day for enhanced support
• Maximum Use (3 tsp/day): ৳190.80 per day during peak seasonal needs

Value Comparison: At ৳2,990, you're receiving a pharmaceutical-grade 10:1 concentrate manufactured to US standards—not a diluted syrup. Consider that each teaspoon delivers the equivalent of 5,000mg of fresh elderberries. Fresh elderberries are rarely available in Bangladesh, and when imported, they cost significantly more. Generic elderberry syrups sold locally often use 1:1 or no stated concentration ratio, meaning you'd need to consume 10 times more product to match NOW's potency. When calculated per milligram of active elderberry content, NOW's concentrate offers superior value despite the higher upfront cost.

Why This Price Point?

• Imported directly from NOW Foods' US manufacturing facilities with full customs duties paid
• 10:1 concentration requires specialized extraction equipment and significantly more raw material
• Third-party testing and GMP certification add to production costs but ensure safety
• Authentic product with verifiable batch numbers (beware of counterfeits sold at suspiciously low prices)
• 237ml liquid format lasts 1.5 months with daily use—long-lasting value
