Customer Reviews

Helpful reducing allery symptomsI take this at first sign of sore throat or nasal congestion. It seems to help. I like the taste. My 21 year old son also uses this and tells me it reduces his nasal congestion. He has chronic year round allergies. He is happy for the relief. And I would rather see him support his immune system this way instead of frequently using pseudoephedrine Hcl.I also read about a study from 2009 which clearly showed those taking elderberry had reduction in flu symptoms, while those on placebo saw no improvement or symptoms worsened. I also saw that even WebMD acknowleges that elderberry helps the immune system. So with all that, plus personal experience of my own and that of my son, I recommend this product for use at first sign of cold or flu and to reduce allergy symptoms. 5Miracle for chronic allergies.My son has constant severe food allergies. Soy, Canola, Sunflower, Safflower, peanut, and cotton seed oils. It doesn't help for these oils to be organic. He reacts to lots of grains and seeds and some days it seems he is just reacting to being alive.Carrot juice, beet juice, frresh tumeric juice all help quell and prevent reactions but I can't carry those things around and juicing takes time. While on a trip my family was exposed to strep throat, as a preventive I went straight to the health food store and found myself intrigued by elderberry syrup.At the time there were only 2 brands in the store: Gaia and Sambucol. I grabbed the Gaia because it was the cheapest and gave a dose every morning and evening for a few days to my family.It worked like a charm. No one came down with strep, but I also noticed that my son wasn't having any mucus reactions. Hmm, interesting I thought. So when the bottle was gone I purchased another. This time the Honey Garden's version because we were still traveling and that was the best priced bottle in the store I was in. It worked like a charm.So when I got home I ordered the Now brand. It was a much better price and I have found it to be just as effective.I can't tell you how freeing it is to know that even if I don't have time to prepare juice 3 times a day, my son can still have a good day without literally drowning in mucus.Hope this was helpful to someone. 5Best way to boost immunityI first learned about elderberry juice at a company Lunch N Learn about boosting immune system naturally. The homeopathic doctor mentioned several methods (Vit C, zinc lozenges, etc.) and provided statistical results from research on each. When she got to elderberry, she prefaced it by saying "THIS is what I use for my family." It is the mega antioxidant over any other antioxidant. The statistical studies blow away everything else. She recommended 1 tsp daily for prevention, and 1 Tbl ever 3-4 hours if you become sick or are around someone who is sick. It has already proven itself effective for my college daughter who was in a dorm room full of sick people. I have tried one other brand of elderberry which was so bitter it needed to be chased with something to get the taste out of my mouth. Not with NOW Foods though. This brand has a tolerable taste. 5 Stars! I will be purchasing the larger bottle when it is time to reorder. 5I don't like to just keep taking antibiotics or medicationThis was really helpful in getting over bronchitis. I don't like to just keep taking antibiotics or medication. Just isn't good for any length of time. This stuff is pretty potent and it helped the throat and chest area to calm down and quietly repair itself with a little help. I took it for a few days a few times a day and it made a noticeable improvement and then the illness just faded away. So it's a good natural thing to take and I highly recommend it. It isn't instant but it helps the body heal itself. Much better than drugs. 5LOOSE THE CITRIC ACIDCitric acid is lab-created mold to increase shelf life in all products, they trick the human brain to think it is Citrus derived.. far from that and it literally looks like mold, which is why the items with "citric acid" has such a huge shelf life. 1Effective Elderberry At A Fair PriceNOW's Elderberry is effective and an excellent value for price paid. It is tart like most Elderberry syrups/liquids, but it's nothing like the cough medicine many of us had as kids. The only potential drawback for some is that it comes in a plastic bottle. For the benefits derived, I can pour it into a glass bottle if I choose. Another well known Elderberry Syrup "might" be a hair better, but insanely priced for 5.4 oz. By overall comparison, NOW Elderberry is my go to Elderberry, and a 4.5 star rating (rounded up to 5) will hopefully be your experience too. 5Delighted with this purchaseElderberry syrup is excellent for shortening the duration of cold, flu, etc and also a good immune tonic for daily use. I've always used Sambucol when my daughter is sick but it's awfully pricey--about $12 for a 4 oz bottle. Now Foods elderberry is concentrated strength, contains ten times as much of the active ingredient, without the sugar, and the bottle is twice the size for the same cost. For those who dislike math, that comes out to 20 times the value. Fantastic! 5Good to have around the houseThis stuff is excellent to have on hand. When I feel like I'm coming down with something, I'll take elderberry syrup and colloidal silver. Even without the latter, I feel better a few hours later. Maybe not completely over it, but I feel better, like I've already been thru the worst of whatever I was getting, and it's not going to get any more serious. The taste isn't good, but it's do-able. It's tolerable. I usually just squirt some in my mouth, but it's also pretty good in orange juice. The OJ cuts the taste. 5All elderberry syrups are extremely sweet and can stain easilyThis elderberry syrup is the same as the other brands I have purchased. All elderberry syrups are extremely sweet and can stain easily. I purchased to use this for my family (including my 6 year old) during cold and flu season. I feel its effective but I am going to purchase capsules from now on. Just seems to be a better option. I like NOW brand and feel there syrup was just as good as any other brands I have tried. 3Tastes great and a 500mg dose per teaspoon is important!I love that I get a 500mg dose with each teaspoon. Other similar products are much less which means they're diluted with water and sugar. This one tastes pretty strong (like a concentrated cranberry juice), but I rather like it. I think it would be very easy to mix with some juice, water, or lemonade for a great tasting drink. Best of all, my doctor recommended that I take this daily for immunity. He gives it to his kid so I figure its worth trying! So far no colds! 5
