At just 52/100, NOW Foods Elderberry 500mg doesn't perform well compared to the 70 other herbal supplements products we evaluated. Quality (47/100) and purity (50/100) are both concerning — well below the category average of 67.0. It has not been third-party tested, which means there's no independent verification of what's on the label. The syrup format is delivered in syrup form. It's pregnancy-safe and free from gluten, soy, dairy.
Is It Worth the Price?
At a value score of 58/100 (well below the category average of 70.0), this isn't the most cost-effective option in the category. Each 1 syrup delivers 500mg of Elderberry.
