American Elderberries are a superior product.
Most dried elderberries are wildcrafted from Europe.  These wild elderberries were tested to have the lowest quantities of anthocyanins, (Kaack, 1997; Kaack & Austed, 1998; Pliszka et al., 2005). Anthoanthcyanins, the bioactive compounds give elderberries their purple - redish color are studied for their many benefits including as a powerful antioxidant.  They promote a healthy gut, heart health, support immune function,  reduce inflammation and may improve cognitive function just to name a few.
