Sambucus Traditional Immune Syrup

Very satisfied with this product. It tastes great, and is good for you.

I have this product on Subscribe and Save auto-delivery and I use it regularly for myself, my husband, and our toddler son. I use it along with Herbs for Kids Echinacea & Astragalus, and I find the combination to be very effective in reducing the length and severity of illnesses.I began using this product on my son when he was around a year old. Since he was six months old, he suffered from acute asthma-like symptoms when he would get sick. He was on several different nebulized and oral medications during these periods of time. Between illnesses, he had no asthma-like symptoms and was completely healthy. Since he was in daycare, there was no escaping frequent respiratory illnesses. It got to the point that whenever he would develop even a slight runny nose (due to teething, etc), it would eventually settle into his chest and turn into a wheezing episode. He and I both hated the nebulizer. I looked for products that could help me proactively address this issue and I found Sambucus through Amazon. There were too many positive reviews for me not to try it. I did not buy the children's version, but this adult version.I started giving my son one 5 mL dose every day as a preventative treatment. When he got the sniffles or showed any other signs of something developing, I started an acute dose of 5 mL twice to three times a day. I also give him (daily) 1 mL of the Echinacea + Astragalus at least twice a day. I put the Echinacea in his milk (it tastes like a mild sweet tea). He will drink the Sambucus right out of a dropper; however, it is dark, dark purple and will stain faces and clothes (think tastes and looks like grape juice). So, I mix it into a serving of plain, unsweetened yogurt. He gobbles it up. I've even mixed it into a little apple juice and water and let him take it via his sippy cup.Since I started using this product, we have been more successful at nipping respiratory infections before they settle in his chest. There would be times when he had runny nose, even coughing, but no wheeze. When he came down with HFMD, I thought I heard the tiniest wheeze in his chest, but it went away quickly. He did not get ulcers in his mouth. I missed a week of work while he ran around the house and played, feeling absolutely fine.I've used both of these products on myself and my husband as well, and we find the same benefits when we take them: viral illness severity and length is reduced. When my husband and I take the Sambucus, we use a bulb dropper and take it directly, without mixing it in drink or food. I'm not sure if one product works more than the other, but I will continue to give the Sambucus and Echinacea + Astragalus in tandem to my family. There haven’t been as many syringes in my sink for a long time, and I am so grateful for that.

This tastes really good. I’m not sure if it is doing anything. I don’t really notice a difference in the way I feel, but then I don’t notice a difference when I take vitamins either. I know it is supposed to be good for you and I love the flavor, so I will be buying again.

Nature's Way is a reliable brand offering a product suitable for year-round use. The berry flavor is enjoyable, making daily doses easy. I tried the liquid form and was pleased. It has a good taste without a bad aftertaste. It's now an essential in our home, particularly during flu season. A tasty way to support immunity!

When I so much get a sniffle I take this and it stops symptoms. Tastes good. Does have a lot of sugar.

I recommend this product for anyone looking for an immune support supplement. One of the things I loved about it is that it's vegan, which is a big plus for me. The berry flavor is also quite delicious, making it easy to incorporate into my daily routine. I’ve been using it for a while now and I've definitely noticed a boost in my overall well-being. A good, natural option for sure.

Edit 4-1-23: I have Nature’s Way Sambucus Original Elderberry Syrup on Subscribe and Save. Recently the price has been swinging wildly. It can actually go up and down 30% or more. Now I have to check before each shipment to decide if I'm willing to pay the price for the next shipment. I still love the product and want to keep buying it but I'm really not happy with the drastic up and down price swing. I have actually skipped a month due to high price. I'm leaving my original review below although I have changed the way I use it. On doctor's orders, I now take Clearlax (generic MiraLAX) every day for IBS-C. I add 2 Tbs of Elderberry Syrup to a glass of water and my daily dose of Clearlax and sip it over the course of the day. The Clearlax is tasteless so I get to drink a refreshing fruity drink every day.I'm not going to tell you this prevents colds or flu. I'm just going to say I think it helps me get fewer colds and less severe colds when I do get them. Honestly I don't know whether that's psychological or not, but it seems that way to me and I guess that's all that matters. I can tell you I think it tastes great...lol. During cold season I use it twice a day. If I'm starting to feel like I might be coming down with something, I use it more often. After reading a lot about it, I believe it might help boost my immune system.

Saved my butt quite a few times and tastes good too
