Product Overview
NOW Foods Sambucus Zinc-C is a well-designed dietary supplement in the form of lozenges, specially developed for both children from four years old and adults. Each jar contains 60 lozenges combining concentrated elderberry extract, vitamin C, and zinc – a composition that makes the product easy and practical to use in everyday life. NOW Foods is a family-owned company with roots dating back to 1968, known for its commitment to natural ingredients and high quality standards. The company has long worked to offer supplements that are both effective and gentle, focusing on purity and sustainability.
This product is sugar-free, low in calories, and therefore also suitable for vegetarians and vegans. The lozenge form makes it convenient to intake important nutrients anytime during the day, without the need for water or other accessories. The mild flavour and convenient dosing make Sambucus Zinc-C popular with the whole family.
Active Ingredients & Science
The main ingredient in the product is a 10:1 concentrated extract of elderberry (Sambucus nigra), meaning it is ten times more concentrated than regular elderberry. This provides a higher proportion of active components in each lozenge. Vitamin C is added in the form of ascorbic acid, a well-known and well-absorbed variant that contributes to the body's normal functions. Zinc is present as zinc bisglycinate, a chelated mineral form that is particularly easily absorbed and thus more effective for the body to utilise than many other forms.
Benefits & Uses
- Easy to carry and use: The lozenges can be taken anywhere, which suits an active lifestyle and families on the go.
- Suitable for children from 4 years: The mild and appealing flavour means even younger children can use the product without problems.
- Vegan-friendly and sugar-free: Without added sugar and animal ingredients, making it a good choice for various diets.
- Daily nutritional supplement: The combination of elderberry, vitamin C, and zinc provides an easy way to complement the diet with important nutrients.
- Useful on various occasions: Can be used as a supplement during periods of higher stress, increased physical activity, or when you want to get extra nutrition in a convenient way.
Usage & Dosage
The recommended dosage is one lozenge per day, preferably during the day when it suits best. The lozenge is taken directly into the mouth where it slowly dissolves, allowing a pleasant intake experience without the need for water. For children from four years old, the same dosage is recommended, but it is advisable to supervise to ensure the lozenge is taken correctly to avoid choking risk. The product can be advantageously combined with other supplements, but it is always wise to follow recommended doses and consult a health specialist if uncertain.
