Nature's Way, Original Sambucus, Bio-Certified Elderberry Lozenges, 30 Lozenges

チュアブルタイプで美味しいです。もう少し安いともっと良いとおもいます。

While I haven’t tried these, I am very disappointed in what I received. I have purchased elderberry lozenges before and this is NOT a lozenge. This is more of a chewable. I was expecting something to suck on (like a cough drop) and this is NOT what I was expecting. I had to open it to see so I can’t return.

A friend referred this to me, and I was initially skeptical, but she said that her son's college health center was recommending it, so I looked into it further.First off, I found that there had been actual legit studies done on it—studies that were: Placebo controlled (some people got the Elderberry, some got a placebo, or “fake” medicine). Double blind (neither the patients nor the doctors knew who got the placebo and who got the actual Elderberry, so neither the doctors nor the patients could influence the findings). Randomized (people who got the placebo versus the Elderberry were selected at random). Peer reviewed (results examined by other doctors and scientists). Replicated (when other scientists tried the same experiment, they got the same results).The studies showed that Elderberry actually killed cold viruses. Literally you would have fewer of the virus in your system, in your throat, in your nasal passages, etc. Also Elderberry is super high in antioxidants—one of the highest sources available in anything.What I found for myself was two things. First, while it's obviously difficult to tell how long the cold would have lasted without taking Black Elderberry, it DOES seem that a cold only lasts for about 4 days instead of a week, which is how long a cold normally lasts for me. Second, when I take the Elderberry, I can vouch for the fact that it DOES make you feel better very shortly after taking it. I find that if I have a fever it will break, and the achiness from the cold/flu goes away for a few hours, and that “Blah” feeling goes away too. You just don't feel sick. So there is IMMEDIATE relief, not just a shortening of the duration of the cold. Even if it didn't decrease the number of days that you are sick, it would totally be worth getting JUST because it makes the horrible cold or flu symptoms go away! You feel more able to function, to work, etc. It also helps you sleep when you don't feel so awful. Third, if I take it when there is just the very faint beginning of cold symptoms, it seems like the cold stays very mild and is gone completely within a couple days (like maybe the Elderberry kills the viruses before it can really take hold?)I have tried several types of the Elderberry, including the pills and the chewable gummies, but the Lozenges and the Quick Dissolve Tablets are my favorites because: I feel like dissolving them in my mouth and having be swallowed down my throat, puts the Elderberry right where it can actually affect the cold viruses. It tastes good—really good, in fact. It's like a yummy grape flavored sweet tart! No need for water or to have to swallow a big pill when you have a sore throat.

"Discovered" this stuff in a Whole Foods run. I fly for work and especially in flu season dread the germs I'm encountering on planes and in airports. I had a few minutes before a meeting and was feeling a twinge in my eye that I get when I'm about to get a cold. I stopped by a WF in search of Airborne and came away with this. I have friends who swear by elderberry syrup, but I'd never tried it and thought why not? This tastes like a tart blueberry, is natural, and whether it works or is a placebo, no idea...BUT I do know that the twinge went away and the cold never came. I take it when I travel, like I would Airborne and - knock on wood - haven't been sick. Switched to this and recommend giving it a try for yourself -- it's worth a shot, right?

We have taken this brand of elderberry for years. We have been staying on it to keep a low prophlatic dose available at all times. For many years it has worked very well. Even this year as I have been exposed to COVID I did not have any issues nor my family. Then a few months ago, I saw the package and label change. And the tablet looks different. Then a change in the proprietary formula has occurred as I have been sick twice in the past 3 months. I have had the experience of most members of my family for over 10 years or more.SOMETHING HAS CHANGED! BEWARE! DO NOT TRUST THIS NEW PRODUCT. IT IS NOT THE SAME.
