Nature's Answer Alcohol-Free Sambucus Dietary Supplement 8oz Liquid | Immune Support | Antioxidant Boost | Gluten-Free, Vegan, Non-GMO | Single Count

Modern medication, especially over-the-counter medication, is not always most concerned with treating the root cause of the illness unless it proves a commercially viable. A while ago, suffering from flu, I began to wonder why all I'd ever been given for flu was antibiotics, and medications to mask the symptoms. Bacterial infections can arise as complications, but the flu (like the cold) is a virus, so why not take an anti-viral? This logic lead me to start investigating TamiFlu - was it available, and should I take it? In the course of my research, I discovered black elderberry, and it seemed to good to be true, if it hadn't been proven in double-blind tests. This is a natural antiviral that fights flu effectively in the body (and flat-out kills it in a petri-dish). The antiviral properties may apply to other kinds of virus as well, but the research isn't available. I've taken it for 6 months, occasionally (say 2-3 times / week) and more often when I feel run down or people around me are sick. I haven't had a cold or flu in all this time, until two days ago, when I came down hard with a head-cold / fever after working 24-days straight. I dosed up and after a rough night and sleeping in all morning, my symptoms were much lighter, the following morning all but gone. I'm reordering, and will update as I go along.

This a must have in stock in our home at all times. Any time someone shows the first sign of a cold we start taking this daily. The one with the symptoms sometimes takes it 2x a day for couple days or if the cold takes hold every day our body is fighting it. It has helped boost our family's immune systems so well, that we encourage others to use it, too. Sometimes if we can get a good immune boost early enough, like at the first sniffle or cough or tingle in the throat, our body's have been able to do what they were designed to do and we got on with life. I also like that this brand does not have all the silly additives that so many others have. The tastes isn't delicious, there is no sugar. But it isn't terrible either. If you can drink cough syrup or liquid medicine then this will be a breeze. We add the proper dosage amount to one of those little medicine cups you would take cough syrup or any liquid medication and then add water. That makes it even easier and more likely get the full dose too.

The product is very good as I have used it before and it helps the immune system a lot when you are sick. The problem here is that the first package I ordered I never received and the second package I ordered arrived a day late and the bottle is leaking. Amazon deliveries have lost quality.

Well, it might sound exagerative, but truly this stuff seems to be a cure for the common cold - and a very quick one, too. I take 1 Tblsn four times a day as soon as I just start to get a case of the sniffles and sneezes and slight sore throat. Each time (now twice over the last three months), my incipient cold is stopped in its tracks (within two days) and I am well again. My husband (a physician) now takes the same dosage upon getting any case of sniffles and sneezes, and swears by it as well. The taste is "berry" and rather good, actually. I intend to always keep an extra bottle on had through the winter months. Great product! Oh. Our son recommended this exact product, as he has experienced several upper respiratory infection "quick cures" over the last three years - and counting.

I recently purchased Nature's Answer Sambucus Dietary Supplement for my daily immune and antioxidant support, as I had been experiencing some throat discomfort. I was drawn to this product as it is made in the USA, alcohol-free, gluten-free, and vegan.After using this supplement for a few weeks, I have noticed a significant improvement in my throat discomfort. I also appreciate that the supplement comes in a 4oz bottle, making it easy to take with me on the go.I would recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a natural and effective way to support their immune system and alleviate throat discomfort.

This is one of those things where I really can't say for sure how well it works, but it's fairly cheap and it's probably not going to make things worse.(I say I can't say for sure how well it works because although elderberry has been proven to inhibit the influenza virus, it has not yet been successfully proven that it inhibits other viruses. It certainly might, but to my knowledge, we don't have any studies to back that supposition up. Also, this isn't regulated the way a drug would be, so we have to take it on faith that the syrup really does contain elderberries in the concentration listed on the label. And finally, even if it does work, you can't know whether (a) it worked because of the berries or the placebo effect, or (b) how much worse your viral infection would have been had you not been taking the syrup.)I had read one thing online that suggests elderberry syrup outperforms Tamiflu, which gives me hope because it's cheaper, you don't need a prescription, and it's safer. Well, it's safer if it's properly prepared; other parts of the plant that produces elderberries are poisonous.So efficacy is up in the air...but there's enough promise that I, personally, feel it's worth the cash to take a chance that it'll help. Really, the only thing about this syrup that I can review with any confidence is the taste...which is fine. Some reviewers don't seem to like it, and that's to be expected, but I was pleasantly surprised. Honestly, the syrup is pretty bland. It tastes mildly of berries - neither tart nor sweet - and reminds me a bit of prune juice. (It's better than prune juice, however.) I've been drinking a teaspoon at a time mixed with a tablespoon or two of water. I have no urge to guzzle the stuff, but it's really not bad at all.
