Just tried Elderberry for the first time yesterday. Came down with severe cold symptoms two days ago, which turned into flu symptoms yesterday morning. Body aches, congestion, fever, chills. Discovered Elderberry in a search online for natural flu remedies, purchased the 550 mg capsules around 11am yesterday morning took first capsule and second around 7pm.

Have had sinus issues for few months but ended up with nasty plugged up with green slime. After being told about this I have been using a extract dropper with warm water for three days and almost feel human again. Best help I have found yet

I take 2 pills a day from G.N.C. anytime I feel a cold coming on, and the first day you feel just as crappie the second day you feel 90% better with a good energy boost and by day three I'm all better and that's my last treatment day. It works the same on everyone I refer it to. No side effects other than previously stated energy boost.

I took elderberry elixer last winter and I never caught a cold or the H1N1 flu. I feel it really boosted my immune system .

The day of my vacation I was coming down with a cold so I went out and got Nature's Way Sambucus syrup. I took it, in addition to drinking a few cups of orange juice, for 2 days straight (2-3x each day) and didn't become sick. It definitely works!

One of my children was ill with flu symptom only and I combined "Sambucol" a combination of 90mg elderberry, 100mg vit.C, and 5mg of zinc with Oscillo (oscillococcinum). My youngest who followed my directions to the tee, fluids, saline by nose and mouth, and sambucol 1 tab 4x was fever free within 24 hrs. Her other symptoms were gone as well in three days. However, my oldest (18) did not utilize the fluids as "told" and was sick longer than the youngest. She recently told me that her friends with the very same symptoms are still ill and she has been well for nearly a week. I believe that the use of Elderberry with plenty of fluids, the saline by mouth and nose, along with the Oscillo did the job. We did not have to use tylenol or motrin at all. Read More Read Less
