Nature's Way Black Elderberry Capsules, 1,150 mg per Serving, Vegan, 100 ct | Traditional Immune Support Supplement with Elderberry and Elderflower*, Plant-Powered Vegan Capsules

I am a chronic sufferer of bacterial sinus infection. Ask me why, and I can give you some long winded explanation about a slightly deviated septum and sinus design, and a slew of other stuff that I've read and heard from my doctor. Bottom line, both you and I don't care the reasoning, but rather, preventative care. I can tell you that these Elderberry capsules help. If I get "that feeling" like a sinus infection is impending, I'll start popping two of these twice a day. 9 times out of 10, I can stave off the infection from grabbing a foothold in my sinuses long enough to let my immune system kick it completely out (without antibiotics and/or steroids). Does it help get rid of a sinus infection already in place?: inconclusive from my experience. Once I have a sinus infection, it takes about the same amount of time to get rid of it whether or not I'm taking it. Maybe I get rid of it a day soon, but statistically that's probably considered to be "noise in the data". Does it work for flu and other viral colds? I can't tell you that. I know that bacterial sinus infections can be precipitated by viral infections, but excluding bacterial sinus infection, I don't get sick. I've had the flu maybe twice in the last 20 years. Bottom line I have no experience with regard to using this to fight flu. Can't hurt to try though (I don't think you can OD on berries easily, could be wrong though). Does it have any other benefits? I don't know, maybe. Again I can only speak from experience. I take them, it staves off a sinus infection. I get that there are a lot of other beneficial claims about elderberry, but I have personally never noticed/experienced them. Is this just another homeopathic snake oil? No. While I agree that there are a lot of homeopathic "remedies" out there that don't work and are probably just a placebo effect, there are also ones out there that work. Heck, I've experienced allergic reactions to homeopathic remedies that landed me in worse trouble than before. Elderberry is a homeopathic remedy that works for me. Will it work for you? Maybe, maybe not, every body is different, and it could be that my body utilizes it due to a deficiency of something that elderberry has. Summary (tl;dr): Get it and try the bottle once. You can take it all the time, but I find it sufficient to take them when I feel a sinus infection coming on (I mean, who *wants* to take a bunch of pills at breakfast). Berry form is probably preferable, but the capsules are convenient and store for long periods of time without getting mildew-y. The price is right, it staves off sinus infections, and probably works for staving off other colds as well. Can't hurt to find out if your body responds to it.

Sometimes these can be a bit challenging to find in my local pharmacy. I like the price and the quality. As a senior citizen, I like to give my immune system a boost from time to time. I'm not convinced of the benefits, but I figure I can't go wrong by trying these.

Easy to swallow, and I have trouble swallowing big pills. Slides down your throat easily, I have confidence in saying that I believe this helped me get over my cold quickly. At one point, I could not swallow well at all, and I opened up the capsule and I ate it with a spoon and it did not taste bad.

I bought these to replace a 30ct gummy bottle I bought for $9.99, thinking these capsules would be easier to swallow. I was wrong, very much so, for myself anyway. I always have struggled swallowing pills to begin with, ever since I was a child. In order to swallow pills, I must either place them on my tongue and swallow with a liquid or I must take a drink first and drop the pill into my mouth. I do the latter for these, and while I've seen so many great reviews for this product, I think I'm going to need to find something else. Because these come in capsules, they are buoyant. As soon as I put them in my mouth, they float to the roof, which is no big deal. However, they have a semi-foul taste to me and even using flavored drinks, the flavor overpowers my drink and has, on several occasions, gave me the feeling of being close to vomiting. I was super excited for these to help with fighting against all the virus and such circulating, and boosting my immune system. If you can handle larger pills, these will definitely do great for you. I, on the other hand, will need to find something smaller with less of a foul taste for me.

WORKED WELL

I've been really happy with this supplement. It's easy to take, and it's a trusted brand - great for peace of mind. The immune support it provides is exactly what I've been seeking. Overall, it's a quality product that I would recommend to others on the hunt for an effective supplement.

I’ve been using this elderberry supplement for a few weeks now, and I’m already seeing amazing results! It’s a natural powerhouse that’s helped boost my immune system and keep me feeling strong and energized. The capsules are easy to take and have no aftertaste, which is always a bonus.

Works how it should every household should have elderberry in it.

Te go tiempo tomandolos. Muy bien Revomendables

Great for boosting immunity especially during this pandemic.

It does seem to give some protection against common cold(immunity is a very broad term) if you are exposed to other persons, family members who have common cold infection. This is my opinion, other users may comment on my assessment

The material inside elderberry capsule (transparent) has been of under quality. It got spoiled on receipt itself. Be careful, if there is no improvement or u fall sick, it means it's spoilt. Color change drastic.
