Nature’s Way Sambucus Zero Sugar Traditional Immune Syrup, Highly Concentrated Black Elderberry Extract, Traditional Immune Support*, Sugar-Free, Berry Flavored, 8 Fl Oz (Packaging May Vary)

For at least ten years, probably longer, I have used Sambucus to help alleviate and reduce the duration of illnesses. When used in the initial hours or day of sickness, this product is especially effective.The actual product looks like a purple cough syrup. The container also resembles a cough syrup bottle. This product tastes no worse than cough syrup, probably a little better.The packaging recommends that for daily maintenance two teaspoons be taken. For intensive use, two teaspoons should be taken four times daily. If you are using this for daily maintenance and only taking 2 teaspoons a day, you will get 24 days out the 8 oz. bottle.I personally only use this when becoming ill and follow the instructions for intensive use. I have experienced great results using Sambucus and always have a bottle in my house. I've recommended it to many individuals and they, too, have had positive experiences.The pricing for this product, under Amazon's subscribe and save option, is the lowest I have found. Even without the subscribe and save option, Amazon's pricing on Sambucus frequently beats other sellers that I turn to for health related items, including iherb.com and swansonvitamins.com.Note for pregnant women: As is typical and expected, the manufacturer recommends that the potential pregnant user contact a health care provider prior to use. Kristina from the Nature's Way customer service department noted in an email, "Sambucus is made from an extract of Black Elderberries that are considered a class 1 herb. Class 1 herbs are very safe and can be taken during pregnancy. Sambucus/Black Elderberries are considered safe to use while pregnant."The ingredients on the box I received differ slightly from the ingredients presently listed on the product page. The ingredients on my box note that the product contains: sorbitol, purified water, vegetable-source glycerin, natural raspberry flavor and citric acid.This product is kosher and gluten-free.

Anytime, I have an inkling that I’m going to get sick, I take a capful of this. Or if there is sickness or illnesses, floating around that people are getting. And then if I get sick, I also keep taking a capful for the day. It has helped any time I’ve been sick to cut the time. It helps with my immune system because mine has always been bad. The taste isn’t bad. even though it taste may not appeal to everybody, but it definitely doesn’t taste like no NyQuil. I take NyQuil if I have to sleep when I am so congested and also take my elderberry. Thank you

This is a small bottle but packed with goodness and flavor.I'm trying to watch the sugar content of items and this is sugar free.Nice consistency .

Working with little kids in elementary school I'm exposed to just about every cold or virus that goes around. In recent years my health hasn't been as good as I'd like it to be: my resistance to the multitude of germs seems lowered. This last year was especially bad... between October and January I was sick non-stop. I had been on antibiotics 3 or 4 times- for strep throat, walking pneumonia, and a sinus infection that wouldn't go away. When I started taking this syrup, I had a bad cold that I could not shake. Within a week, I was better. I did not get sick again until April, after I stopped taking the syrup because I ran out of it. Although it's a little expensive, (shop around for deals) it's better than getting sick and visiting my doctor every 2-3 weeks. I am completely sold on the immune-boosting properties of black elderberries. I like this one because its sugar free. In spite of that, it's really sweet tasting. I will resume taking this as a supplement before the school kids and all of their germs come around again in the fall.

Very good product just what I expected

just what I needed to bolster my immune system. good flavor

I sent this to my soon to be sister in law. As she is diabetic, I wanted to share this product and found the sugar free version is also available! Yay! She loved it too! And it helped sooth her cough.

Even after reading the good reviews on this product, I wasn't convinced it would work but since it's basically berry juice I figured it couldn't hurt. Well, I was able to prove that it definitely shortens the length and lessens the severity of a cold. I started on my first bottle a few weeks ago but ran out shortly after Thanksgiving because I hadn't set up the subscribe and save option and didn't get another bottle ordered soon enough. I started on the second bottle a little over a week ago. Unfortunately on Thursday, 12/8, I knew I had a cold so I started taking 2 tsps. 4 times per day every day and by Sunday my cold symptoms were basically gone. That's roughly a 3 or 4 day cold...which is unheard of for me as my colds usually last at least a week or more and make me miserable. I had a runny nose for a couple of days but never got to the "so stuffed up you can't breathe" stage. I'm hoping that once I've been taking this regularly I won't get any more colds, but if I do, I'll know that taking the extra doses will keep them short and manageble.
