What Is Elderberry Alcohol-Free Extract?
Elderberry alcohol-free extract is a glycerin-based liquid extract of Sambucus nigra berries, made without alcohol for clean-label formulating. Produced through our low-heat Bio-Chelated cold-extraction process, it preserves the berry's naturally occurring compounds, including those that give elderberry its deep color, in a Holistically Balanced profile, giving supplement and beverage brands a ready-to-use botanical for immune and seasonal-wellness positioning.
Market Demand
Elderberry is one of the most recognized botanicals in the seasonal-wellness market, and demand for alcohol-free, glycerin-based versions continues to grow alongside clean-label, family-friendly, and beverage-forward products. Its strong consumer name recognition makes it a natural anchor for immune-support supplements and functional beverages.
Formulation Applications
This extract suits dietary-supplement and food-and-beverage formats brands can build, including syrups, gummies, functional beverages, shots, capsules, and immune-support blends. Its alcohol-free glycerin base fits clean-label and beverage systems, and brands can position finished products around immune and seasonal-wellness support.
Why Formulators Choose Bio-Botanica
Formulators choose Bio-Botanica for the Bio-Chelated cold-extraction process that protects whole-plant integrity, in-house HPLC and mass spectrometry testing on every lot, and 50-plus years of family-owned U.S. manufacturing. Spec sheets, a representative COA, and SDS are available with every sample.
Common Buyer Questions
What is Elderberry Alcohol-Free Extract, and what species and plant part does it come from?
Elderberry Alcohol-Free Extract is an alcohol-free extract made from the berry of Elderberry (Sambucus nigra), a member of the Viburnaceae family. Bio-Botanica extracts it at its FDA-inspected cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York using the proprietary Bio-Chelated low-heat, cold-extraction process, so the finished extract carries a full-spectrum, Holistically Balanced profile of the naturally occurring constituents of Sambucus nigra berry.
What extract form is this, and what is it carried in?
Elderberry Alcohol-Free Extract is an alcohol-free extract, and the carrier is glycerin. The carrier is what the finished Elderberry extract is delivered in — it is not the extraction solvent, which is Bio-Botanica's Bio-Chelated low-heat process. The glycerin carrier is confirmed on the Spec Sheet/TDS that ships with samples.
Does Elderberry Alcohol-Free Extract contain alcohol?
No. Elderberry Alcohol-Free Extract contains no ethanol. It is an alcohol-free extract delivered in a glycerin carrier, which is the format formulators choose when an alcohol-free Elderberry extract is required. Residual-solvent details for your lot are documented on the Spec Sheet/TDS and representative COA.
Is Elderberry Alcohol-Free Extract standardized to a specific compound?
No. Elderberry Alcohol-Free Extract is a full-spectrum, Holistically Balanced extract and is non-standardized — it reflects the naturally occurring constituents of Sambucus nigra berry rather than an isolated, quantified compound. Where a specification requires standardization to a marker, Bio-Botanica can quote a standardized extract to your requirement.
Is Elderberry Alcohol-Free Extract for ingestible or topical formulas?
Elderberry Alcohol-Free Extract is formulated for food, beverage and dietary supplement products. It is a full-strength ingestible extract, distinct from Bio-Botanica's Cosmetic Glycerin Extracts, which are formulated in a glycerin carrier at cosmetic use levels for topical products only. Confirm the grade on the Spec Sheet/TDS before specifying it into a formula.
What applications and formats is Elderberry Alcohol-Free Extract suited for?
Elderberry Alcohol-Free Extract is supplied in bulk as a formulation base, and it suits tinctures, herbal syrups, shots and functional beverage concentrates, and it can be carried into gummies and other liquid-compatible supplement formats. Bio-Botanica supplies the extract and its documentation; dose level and finished-product claims are set by your own formulation and regulatory review.
What industries and positioning does Elderberry Alcohol-Free Extract fit?
Elderberry Alcohol-Free Extract fits the Dietary Supplements and Food and Beverage industries. Elderberry is traditionally associated with immune and seasonal wellness — structure/function positioning only, not a consumer health claim. Any claim on a finished product is determined and substantiated by the brand and its regulatory review.
Where does Elderberry originate?
Sambucus nigra is native to Europe and western Asia. Elderberry Alcohol-Free Extract is manufactured in the United States at Bio-Botanica's Hauppauge, New York facility, and sourcing and origin details for a given lot are documented on the TDS that accompanies samples.
How does Elderberry Alcohol-Free Extract behave for solubility and compatibility?
Elderberry Alcohol-Free Extract is water-compatible. The glycerin carrier blends into the aqueous phase during cold or gentle warm processing, which is why formulators reach for it in water-based systems. Evaluate a sample in your own matrix to confirm compatibility, and review the Spec Sheet/TDS for handling and storage.
What certifications are available for this ingredient?
Bio-Botanica operates under NSF, cGMP and FSSC 22000 quality systems, and Kosher, Halal and Organic certification is available. The Hauppauge, New York facility is FDA-inspected. Certification for a specific order of Elderberry Alcohol-Free Extract can be confirmed with our team when you request a quote.
What documentation ships with Elderberry Alcohol-Free Extract?
Samples of Elderberry Alcohol-Free Extract ship with a Spec Sheet/TDS, a representative COA and an SDS. Together these document the extract form, the glycerin carrier, the botanical identity and the testing performed, so your quality and regulatory teams can evaluate the ingredient against your own specifications.
How is Elderberry Alcohol-Free Extract sold, and what about samples and MOQ?
Elderberry Alcohol-Free Extract is sold in bulk to formulators and brands, not as a finished consumer product, and is offered in pack sizes of 23 kg. Pricing is available by requesting a formal quote — our team quotes to your chosen pack size and volume, and samples ship with full documentation so you can assess fit before committing.
How is Elderberry Alcohol-Free Extract manufactured and tested?
Elderberry Alcohol-Free Extract is manufactured at Bio-Botanica's FDA-inspected cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York — family-owned since 1972 — using the proprietary Bio-Chelated low-heat cold-extraction process. Testing runs in the onsite quality lab on instrumentation including HPLC, UPLC-MS/MS, GC/MS, LC/MS and ICP/MS, covering identity, microbial, USP and heavy-metal specifications from raw-material intake through finished product, supported by third-party labs.
