Black Elderberry Extract is a standardized botanical derived from Sambucus nigra berries via ethanol or water extraction. It is primarily characterized by high concentrations of anthocyanins, specifically cyanidin-3-glucoside. While no single molecular formula exists for the crude extract due to its complex phytochemical profile, the active marker compounds are well-documented in pharmaceutical literature.
Raw plant material contains toxic lectins; extracts must be processed to ensure safety. Store in cool, dry conditions below 25°C protected from light to prevent anthocyanin degradation. Not recommended for pregnant women without medical supervision.
