Elderberry Concentrate Powder and Elderberry Juice Flavoring Powder**
Commonly referred to as black elder, European elder, and European elderberry, elderberries are tiny, dark-colored fruits that are produced by the European black elderberry shrub (Sambucus nigra), which is a relative of honeysuckle. Loaded with an impressive array of nutrients, elderberries owe their deep purple and black hues to their high concentrations of potent anthocyanins. They also contain plenty of other antioxidant compounds, such as quercetin, kaempferol, rutin, isorhamnetin, flavonols, phenolic acids, carotenoids, flavonoids and anthocyanidins. On top of antioxidants, elderberries also contain plenty of dietary fiber, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, copper, iron, zinc, folate, riboflavin and vitamins A and C, as well as B-complex vitamins.
Inulin**
A carbohydrate and soluble dietary fiber, inulin is naturally produced by plants as a means of obtaining energy. Although the inulin in most food and health products is usually derived from chicory root, it is present in a wide variety of fruits, whole grains, roots, herbs, vegetables, and more than 36,000 different species of plants. Inulin is a starchy material that is frequently added to margarine and salad dressings as a fat alternative or as a sweetener. Since it is also a fermentable fiber that possesses prebiotic properties, inulin can naturally be consumed by the good bacteria in your stomach. A 2020 systematic study indicated that inulin has promising prebiotic potential since it naturally supports the growth of probiotics. It may even help enhance the bioavailability of calcium and other nutrients.
Ginger Concentrate Powder**
A staple in Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), organic ginger root is the horn-shaped rhizome that grows from the ginger plant (Zingiber officinale), which is native to Southeast Asia. Boasting an impressive nutritional profile, this fragrant, spicy root contains high concentrations of potent antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and over 100 bioactive compounds that can support your good overall health and optimal well-being. Some of these compounds include gingerols, paradols, shogaol and other phytochemicals. That's why instant ginger concentrate powder is one of the key ingredients in our premium Ginger Immune Support with Elderberry drink mix.
Vitamin C (Non-GMO)**
Also known as “ascorbic acid,” vitamin C is one of the most important micronutrients for maintaining optimal overall health. This water-soluble vitamin plays many critical roles inside the body. Since the body can't store vitamin C or produce it on its own, you need to consume vitamin C-rich foods every day to maintain good health. That's why we've included lab-verified and non-GMO vitamin C to our premium Groovy Bee® Ginger Immune Support with Elderberry drink mix.
Stevia**
Stevia is a natural sweetener derived from the leaves of the candy leaf plant (Stevia rebaudiana), which is a member of the Asteraceae family. This bushy herb is one of the sweetest plants to ever be discovered, which is why the natives of Brazil and Paraguay have harvested its sweet-tasting leaves for centuries to enhance the flavor of their local foods and beverages. The leaves of the stevia plant contain eight compounds that make stevia naturally sweet, namely stevioside, steviolbioside, dulcoside A and rebaudiosides A, C, D, E, and F.
