The Power of Elderberry: Why Families Are Returning to Nature's Immune Support with That Elderberry Chick

For generations, families relied on herbs, plants, and natural remedies to support their health long before pharmacy aisles existed.


One of the most trusted natural remedies throughout history is elderberry.


On a recent episode of the Natural Health Network Podcast, I sat down with Korinne Provoast, founder of That Elderberry Chick, to discuss her family's journey from battling H1N1 swine flu to creating a thriving business centered around elderberry and natural wellness.

A Health Crisis That Changed Everything


Like many families, Korinne's family found themselves facing H1N1 during the swine flu outbreak.Despite taking every precaution they knew at the time, they became seriously ill and struggled to find relief. During that experience, they were introduced to elderberry.


Initially, they didn't realize how impactful elderberry could be because they started using it later in their illness. However, as they learned more about proper use and timing, they began noticing a significant difference in how their bodies responded when illness struck.


That experience sparked a lifelong interest in natural wellness and ultimately led to the creation of That Elderberry Chick.


What Is Elderberry?


Elderberry comes from the Sambucus plant and has been used traditionally for centuries as part of herbal wellness practices.

The berries contain naturally occurring antioxidants, anthocyanins, and plant compounds that have made elderberry a popular addition to many immune-support routines.


Today, elderberry is commonly used during seasonal wellness challenges and as part of a proactive health strategy for families looking to support their body's natural defenses.


Why Quality Matters

One of the biggest lessons Korinne learned was that not all elderberry products are created equal.

Many commercially available products contain:

  • Artificial flavors

  • Preservatives

  • Added fillers

  • Lower concentrations of elderberry

That realization led her to begin making her own elderberry syrup using carefully sourced ingredients.

Today, That Elderberry Chick uses certified organic ingredients and focuses on freshness, quality, and transparency.

The Secret Ingredient in That Elderberry Chick Products: Baobab

One ingredient that makes That Elderberry Chick products stand out is baobab.

Baobab is a nutrient-dense fruit native to regions of Africa and Australia. It has become increasingly popular in wellness circles due to its naturally occurring vitamin C, antioxidants, and fiber content.

Combined with elderberry, cinnamon, ginger, turmeric, and cloves, baobab adds both nutritional value and a unique flavor profile that customers often notice immediately.

Many people describe the syrup as smoother, richer, and more enjoyable than traditional elderberry products.

The Elderberry Syrup Kits Families Love

One of the company's most popular products is their Elderberry Syrup Kit.

The kits were designed to make preparing elderberry simple and affordable for families.

Each kit includes:

  • Organic elderberries

  • Supporting herbs and spices

  • Step-by-step instructions

  • Cheesecloth for straining

  • Labeling materials for storage

The kits can be stored in the pantry for up to two years before preparation, making them a convenient option for families who want to be prepared before illness strikes. For those that want an all-in-one kit she offers kits with the jar, easy pour top, label and local honey so you have everything you need to make and store your syrup.

As Korinne says, they're almost as easy to make as macaroni and cheese!

Beyond Elderberry Syrup


Over the years, That Elderberry Chick has expanded its offerings to include:

  • Elderberry gummies

  • Elderberry-infused honey

  • Herbal wellness teas

  • Elderberry jelly

  • Elderberry sodas

  • Honey straws

  • Seasonal wellness products

Their Immune Boom Tea has become especially popular during colder months thanks to ingredients like hibiscus and echinacea.

Why Local Matters

One message Korinne repeatedly emphasized during our conversation was the importance of buying local whenever possible.

Local makers often provide:

  • Fresher products

  • Higher ingredient transparency

  • Small-batch production

  • Direct access to the creator

  • Better quality control

Whether someone purchases from That Elderberry Chick or another trusted local producer, supporting local businesses helps strengthen communities while giving consumers greater confidence in what they're putting into their bodies.

Natural Wellness Is About Supporting the Body

One of the themes that resonated most throughout our conversation was the idea that wellness should focus on supporting the body's natural processes.Rather than simply masking symptoms, many natural approaches aim to provide the body with the resources it needs to function optimally.

That philosophy is at the heart of That Elderberry Chick's mission.For Korinne, elderberry isn't just a product. It's part of a larger movement to help families reconnect with natural wellness practices and become more informed about the choices they make for their health.
