 Love this product for my children, it works well Mar 18, 2010
By D. A. J.
This has become our first line of defense for those annoying colds that happen throughout the seasons. We were using it every day as a immune defense for my children, but with three kids that got a little expensive. We now use it at the first sign of a cold or other "bug" (runny nose, sneezing, etc.). They are usually better within 2 days of using the Sambucus. The one time we had run out, they had colds lasting 8 days! I couldn't wait to get more and now just buy a bottle every two months or so.
If we get what seems like a nasty bug, a dose of Sambucus with a lemon and honey will do the trick within 3 days at the most. Great product and one to keep on the shelf.
Very fair price here on Amazon as well.

Best Thing Ever Dec 29, 2010
By Vildan from Chicago
This thing really works. I never ever wrote any reviews online but felt obligated with this product. I have a 2 year old son and he got 7 ear infections last winter in 6 months. This year I decided to give this a try. We give him the daily dose every day and if I see a sign of runny nose, congestion or coughing, we go up to the intensive dose and it gets cleared in 2-3 days. It is just amazing. I am not also sure if this is just a coincidence (I want to believe that it is not) but it worked the last 4 times when he seemed like he was catching a cold. So I wanted to let all the moms know that this thing works and give it a try. It is so diffucult to deal with a child when they are sick and the whole family gets miserable especially if every month. It is end of December and knock on wood, we made it so far. I really hope that it works like this the rest of the winter.

 Too much sugar May 16, 2011
By Mel M.
As far as effectiveness is concerned, this is a great product. I gave it to my son and his cold symptoms lessened within a day. I also took some when I started getting a sore throat, and it never materialized into a cold, sore throat gone the next day.
I took a star away, however, because it is way too sweet. Like sickeningly sweet, makes your eyes close and mouth pucker sweet. I don't know why it needs so much fructose, it's easily mixable into a drink or applesauce. I could not detect any "medicine-y" taste, but I'm not sure if that's because of all the sugar. Although, with other products I've tried where they tried to cover up the medicine taste with sugar, you can still taste the medicine. With this, I didn't detect anything, not even in the after taste. The only thing I tasted was, yes, you guessed it, SUGAR.
And sugar depresses your immune system, so having so much sugar is a bit counter productive.
I purchased the Sambucus Black Elderberry (Sugar-Free) 8 fl.oz version instead, for future use.

Great for immune system defence and as cold remedy Jan 21, 2011
By Conan, The Flying Irish
"SM"
We have been using this for a while as my son goes to day care and brings all kinds of infections. It is great and works very well. Keep inmind it is not a drug but herbal suppliment and might not work well for everybody. However, most people we know say that it does help a lot and you should try it to find out. There are INTENSIVE care dose (when the child is alreday sick) and PREVENTIVE (if you are concerned that he or she was in contact with a sick person and might get sick). Tastes good, never had to force my kids to take it, they do it with pleasure...
