User Reviews for elderberry

I just started using this product 2 days ago and cannot give it a fair rating as yet. Although I have slept better at night.

I started getting a really bad head cold and sore throat, I took this 4 times daily (10 ml) and I was only sick for a couple days instead of a week which is typically how long I am sick. This stuff really helps! I highly recommend it when you have the first signs of sickness.

helps to ward off onset of cold, flu or sore throat

I was hit with horibble flu/cold sinus congestion, sore throat, ear ache, chest congestion fever, general aches, took one tabelspoon 4 times daily and after 3 days my symptoms were gone and I feel great.

Having been suggested by a friend, I found theuse of this product to be very effective when taken right when I feel something coming on or after I get sick. It's a really good product.

Got a viral infection/flu on top of a sinus & ear infection. Treated with antibiotics x 2 days. Maintained 100 deg fever for duration until beginning Sambucus (syrup). Fever broke within 8 hours, now back to normal. This stuff rocks!

I'm a smoker, so when I get sick, it lasts for months. I had a terrible case of the flu and so got this. I was completely shocked how fast I recovered.

I have been taking Elderberry for 3 years for flus works great but I am conserd about any long term effect.

Got inflammation with Acute hydrocele naproxen wasn't working,switch to eldenberry and wala seven days cleared up filling a lot better and stopped my sore throat and stomach cramps caused from naproxen.now waiting on doctor to be checked.

Black Elderberry Sambucol- I take at the first sign of a cold. It takes care of the symptoms and I feel better sooner!

We recently visited an integrative doctor an was recommended this product for help with fighting a URI and ear infection the next morning my son had terrible diarrhea. Two days later he threw up and the diarrhea continues. His sinus symptoms did not improve. Just know another purpose is relief from constipation and take probiotics to ease tummy.

Had no OTC meds on hand but had this syrup available. AMAZING! Helped boost immune system to naturally fight off URI. I won't use chemical Rx when I can use this natural remedy. Even my 9-yr-old daughter was able to get rid of her sickness within 2 days.

I tried so many cough syrups just to help the coughing fits.. Took the elderberry extract for a day and woke up the next morning feeling so Much better.

Elderberry eased my symptoms immediately and seemed to help my body fight the virus. AMAZING NATURAL IMMUNE SUPPORT!!

Five days, two teaspoon fulls four times a day and recovered from a viral URI with ease, simplicity, and feeling better than ever with the use of Black Elderberry juice.

I took 1/2 oz of River Hills Harvest cool processed, pure elderberry juice every 3 hours. I was sick with severe fever and muscle pain for only one day. I continued the dosage for an extra half a day and then stopped. The sickness did not come back. This juice product is made from North American S. canadensis berries only, which is mechanically separated from the skin and seeds. It is available in 11 oz bottles at food coops in the upper Midwest and some Hy-Vee stores in Missouri and other places. Read More Read Less

I have been taking elderberry supplements for about two years now daily as a preventative. I have had great success dodging illnesses those around me get. For example, there was a sick person behind me on the airplane from MN to AK last summer. My sister picked up their virus and even though we roomed together, I did not get it. If I begin to feel something starting in my body, I up the dose for a day or so till it goes away.

I have taken & given elderberry for influenza. Once elderberry is consumed the symptoms decrease which allows activities of daily living within 24 hours and recovery in 48 to 72 hours. This has been my experience for now and the past 7 years.

I had a terrible URI/Cold that included low grade fever (under 101.5), chills, total congestion, unproductive cough, body aches, exhaustion. A friend brought me Wyldewood Cellars Elderberry Juice Concentrate as she had watched a Doctor on YouTube recommend drinking a Tablespoon 3 to 4 X a day when very ill rather than taking all the other OTC Medications. I was skeptical but I had been ill for over a week and I was frightened this would turn into bronchitis and/or pneumonia as it has done in the past. I started ASAP and one hour after the 1st TBSP. my chills diminished....after the 2nd TBSP. my fever broke....after my 4th TBSP. I started having an "extremely productive cough" for the next three days. My friend has visited twice and has said my normal healthy color is back in my face and I sound much better. I am still very tired from the week of being ill and the three days of productive coughing but I wish I had known of this amazing natural product years ago!!! This almost miraculous Elderberry Juice Concentrate has helped me avoid the Hospital Emergency Room, Heavy Doses of Broad Spectrum Antibiotics and all the side effects that come with taking such drugs in the past. I hope never to be without this Elderberry Juice Concentrate again. I have read in their brochure that you can take one teaspoon a day in water, juice, shakes, etc.....to build and/or maintain good immunity. I will take this Elderberry Juice Concentrate for the rest of my life. I am amazed this natural product helped me so dramatically and with no side effects!!Read More Read Less
