We LOVE this stuff! Tastes good and keeps us healthy! We don't go into cold and flu season without it!
5.0 - Number 1 in performance!
Sambucus is the only Elderberry supplement that has been proven through scientific data that it helps fight flu. Not all Elderberry formulas are made the same!

Tastes great. My family loves eating these bc they taste so good. Supposed to be great for the immune system so we take it during cold and flu season. Only drawback is they're pricey.
5.0 - A Flu Season Must
A must in our home to keep our immune systems strong, especially during flu season. Helps that my kids think they taste like candy - they never complain about taking these.
5.0 - I love this stuff
I have been giving Sambucus to my kids for a while now at the first sign on a cold or sickness and during flue season, I love this stuff. I just found the gummies and they love them even more than the lozenges, but they like those too. I wish the serving was not for two gummies because the cost adds up and between my three kids it doesnt last very long, but love the product.
5.0 - Great taste
Tastes great! I don’t know if it really keeps the flu away, but I haven’t caught it this year.
5.0 - Great taste!
Have been using for several years now. The only form of elderberry our children care for. Seem to help during the winter and flue season.
4.0 - Could just be pure luck, but I swear by ...
Could just be pure luck, but I swear by these. I wasn't hit with the flu this season, and I always seem to get real sick during Christmas time. I take one in the morning after breakfast, and one right before bedtime. Seems to lessen any oncoming cold. It's probably all in my head, but whatever.
5.0 - My daughter & my husband caught a bad strain of the flu
My daughter & my husband caught a bad strain of the flu. I gave my daughter this and not my husband to see the quality and if it works well. Her flu symptoms cleared up in less than 48 hrs. My husband I had him on DoTerra fit antibiotics & he was still complaining about feeling horrible days later. I’ll say this stuff is awesome.

We purchased this to help ward off the flu. The product came on time which was a plus. The flavor is really good (I was expecting it to be bad) and so far it has been a great addition to my supplement routine. Plus the product is easy to take and stores well.

Our kids love the flavor of these and they definitely work well at helping to keep common colds and sone flu viruses go away sooner than normal if taken on a daily basis.
5.0 - Already reordered. Taste great!
These taste great. I have no idea if they work, but my daughter and I keep a daily dose going. Some friends have had the flu in her classroom, and so far all is well for us. Honestly, these taste better than our honey bear vitamin C gummies. I reordered already.
5.0 - No flu or cold for 2 years
I've been taking these daily for a couple of years and have not had the flu or a cold.
5.0 - Tasty Vitamin Gummies!
I recently discovered elderberry has many benefits especially keeping me from getting the flu/cold this year.
5.0 - Taste is very good.
Took 2 a day all winter to ward off flu and colds! Taste is very good.
5.0 - TASTES GREAT AND EASY TO USE!
These gummies are VERY good tasting and a super easy way for me to get my black elderberry into me each day on-the-go. I highly recommend these to anyone looking for an alternative on taking the syrup with you when you are on-the-go or travelling. I take it for prevention of this horrible flu going around and it works!

These are so good! My kids are 4 and 7 and absolutely LOVE the taste! Hoping they keep us healthy through this flu season!
4.0 - This really works!
We bought these gummies since April, finished a few bottles and not a single cold/flu happened. They help boosting the immune system a lot! My kid is not taking these daily since she does not like the taste (she does not hate it neither) but whenever we start to have a bit of sore throat/ sneezing/ cough, we will take them 3 times daily (every 4 to 6 hours). After a few days the symptoms are completely gone!
5.0 - Prevented flu all winter
These prevented flu for me, my hubby, my daughter, and grandchildren. And they may have saved the life of someone my daughter shared them with who had the flu and was having problems healing until he started taking these!!! I also didn’t catch a cold all winter. We are still taking these and love also that they suit me as a vegetarian not containing animal gelatin. They are tasty, easier to take being chewables.
5.0 - Five Stars
Delicious and fingers crossed they help us ward off the flu!!
5.0 - Just as advertised.
Great before the winter season. #MinnesotaFluPrevention
5.0 - We all took these gummies and fought it off like champs! Be careful though
I feel certain this kept the REST of my family for getting the flu last year! My husband got a flu shot and still ended up with two strains of the flu. We all took these gummies and fought it off like champs! Be careful though, they taste so good, you might get carried away and eat 10!
4.0 - Great for the flu
These are actually pretty hard to find during flu season!
5.0 - Its a miracle
My kids and I take these everyday and we haven't even caught the common cold. They were one of the only kids in school to not get the flu. I swear by these! I buy 5 bottles at a time. Definitely stock up before next flu season.
5.0 - Made a huge difference in prevention and flu severity for our respiratory-impaired family
I work in an elementary school and am surrounded by sick kiddos during the winter season. I also have two kids of my own who attend two different schools and a husband who works in a health clinic. To say we are exposed to the flu regularly is an extreme understatement.
5.0 - Five Stars
My son takes these daily to prevent colds/flu. No flu this season.
5.0 - Five Stars
We were told this product would help fight off the flu. worked we did not take flu.
5.0 - TASTES GREAT & WORKS!!!!!
My daughter who is a nurse told me about these, I'm a believer! I do not get flu shots due to a VERY bad reaction several years ago, soooo when flu season is upon us (especially this year) I do whatever I can to keep the flu bugs away. No flu for me, whooohoo! I swear by Sambucus Gummies and 3000 mg of chew-able Vitamin C a day. I will continue to buy these for a very long time. :) THESE TASTE YUMMY TOO!!!!!!

4.0 - Like the product so far
Like the product so far. My teenage kid does not mind eating it. A little sour but taste all right. Hopefully it will help our family fight the flu season.
4.0 - High quality and tasty and probably a little too expensive.
Seem to be good quality and taste good. I've been eating a few of these a day during flu season and so far so good. The price just keeps going up on these but otherwise these gummies seem to be high quality and tasty.
5.0 - Most Definite for cold and flue season
Was suggested by a friend to try these during cold/flu season and they work great! Have a great flavor to them also! Helps keep my immune up.

5.0 - works better than flu shot
eel better since starting these great idea to not taking flu shot.
5.0 - The kids love them and ask for them every day
A must during cold and flu season, especially if you have kids! Our family was getting sick every other week last season and this time around I started giving these to everyone before sick season and we’ve just had a few runny noses! The kids love them and ask for them every day, so we never forget to take them. We all take one a day and at any signs of sickness I up the dose to two. Definitely recommend!
5.0 - Great alternative to the syrup
Couldn't get the kids to do the Sambucus syrup, but they love these! Have ordered again to get us through cold and flu season.

Winter months and little kids, this is a must have product.

I am impressed with the research that supports that Elderberry extract can kill the influenza virus quickly. My girlfriend and I jump on it at the first sigh of a symptom during flu symptom. Plus this particular product taste heavenly.

My hubby is in the police academy during this winter and he needs all the help he can get to keep healthy and to not come down with a nasty cold or flu.

My doctor recommended elderberry for the flu & as an antioxidant to prevent future illnesses. Tastes good - fast delivery & well packaged.
5.0 - Great product!
I love these and know that they have helped me fight off nasty colds/flus this year! I just wish they would come back in stock!
5.0 - Great product!
I actually bought these for cold/flu prevention, but I noticed that it clears my sinuses (I have allergies), and I see an improvement in my vision which pleasantly caught me off guard. The only thing I don't like about it is the added sugar; it's a bit too sweet . I cut out most sugar from my diet a few months ago, so my taste buds may be a little more sensitive to the sweetness.
5.0 - Taste great!
So far so good. Started taking these daily because the flu has been so bad. Haven’t gotten the flu. Is it because of these or is it because of the other precautions I’m taking? I can’t say for sure but I do know these taste pretty good. Kind of like a cross between a raisin and a prune. So they’re easy to take!
4.0 - Hope they are effective
Not sure but I take these during flu season and especially when I’m fighting a cold. Easy to digest.
5.0 - Great product, if you can get it and afford it.
Good taste and texture, worked well to help us through illness. Only complaint is that the price has more than doubled over the past month so I couldn't reorder it right away, not to mention it kept going out of stock. I'm sure it's because of flu season- but hoping they bring the price back down and get a stockpile up before the fall.
5.0 - Proactive Supplement Aids in Preventing Flu
My doctor recommended all her patients to take the Sambucus Elderberry during flu season. It has prevented me from getting sick with the flu and respiratory illnesses that others in my office have brought to the office. I take it during high pollen season, too because people get sinus infections and still go to work which doesn't help the rest of us. One day I felt as though I was coming down with a cold so I took the Sambucus gummies for 3 days. It never developed into anything. I stand by these 100%. They work!
5.0 - Works great!
Paired this up with Smarty Pants vitamins to keep the kids healthy last winter. We noticed both our 7 and 5 year old got sick less and stayed sick a shorter period of time than previously. We even skipped the flu shot and they did not come down with anything that kept them out of school more than one day the entire winter.
5.0 - These wonderful, delicious gummies kept me from getting the flu
Took for a month before my family got the flu. Did i get the flu??NO!!!!! That's right. These wonderful, delicious gummies kept me from getting the flu. So thrilled.
5.0 - I have avoided flu with these!
Great Taste and I have managed to not get sick while taking these vitamins. After getting my first case of pneumonia and more song over 2 weeks of Work, my friend suggested I start taking Elderberry. I have 3 kids in daycare so we are sick A LOT! My immune system also fails me every flu season but since taking these gummy vitamins (2 a day) since November, I have Managed to avoid the flu while caring for my 1 year old who had the flu! If you are tired of getting sick, get these!!!

Great product. I take these throughout flu season and they have worked.
5.0 - Highly recommend!
My family takes these daily during cold and flu season. Even though we still get sick I have found that while we take it our symptoms are reduced and recover quicker with colds and even stomach flu.
5.0 - They taste wonderful, and are proven help against flu, and to boost immune system.
Elderberry has some blind test studies to verify that it works to help against Flu. These have a wonderful flavor and I try to keep some on hand to boost our immune systems when crud weather comes around. Love them!
5.0 - They taste good too.
I have the flu, and started taking these and have noticed a difference already. They taste good too.

My kids (ages 6 & 4) love them! Will most likely resume taking them again next Fall through the common cold/flu season.
5.0 - These are great, but hard to find at a reasonable price
These are great, but hard to find at a reasonable price. They really help during cold/flu season to stay healthy.
5.0 - tasty!
these are tasty and seem to fight the flu! the kids love them, the adults enjoy them, and they taste like candy. seriously, who wouldn't want these? they have a sweet berry flavor and are coated in sugar. last year we all used these daily and stayed relatively healthy (even among peers getting flu) so I'm a huge advocate for Elderberry. Elderberry was recommended by our pediatrician during flu season.

5.0 - Taste great!
Taste great and the best thing is after two days of taking these my flu symptoms are drastically better. Hoping with continued use it’ll prevent me from getting sick so often. My kids love them as well and are always asking for more.
5.0 - Flu season upon us!
Item as expected. Prompt delivery, we love these. Great to have onboard for flu season!
4.0 - Good taste
Does it really work against cold and flu? I think most of it is psychological hype. Flu will hit one person hard and barely phase the next person whether you take anything or not. Plus you can be sick one day and fine the next without taking something, so who really knows. It’s good for you either way. The gummies taste great to me and my 2 year old. My older two don’t normally like gummies so they didn’t like this one either, but they are picky eaters.
5.0 - Please keep us well! Four flu bouts are sufficient ...
Please keep us well! Four flu bouts are sufficient.
5.0 - I never run out of this product!
I never run out of this product! I have been using elderberry religiously for a few years now, year round. I like the gummies because they do not upset my stomach like the syrup. Elderberry is known for its anti-viral and flu remedy prevention, but it has helped me with my allergies. Since I have been taking this, I haven't had a sinus infection when before I seemed to have one every month. My family and I use this daily and I highly recommend. It also tastes great, which is a nice bonus!
5.0 - Flu ----stay away!!!
Yummy vitamins. I am eating these to ward off the flu!!!

5.0 - These guys help fight the flu
The flu season this past year has been brutal. A song with a slightly susceptible musician and his mom happens to be a nurse, well foreigners, my family trust fun anyway we can to stop the flu from spreading count was not getting in the first place. We get the flu shot, all no procedures. But, we always look for new ways to amp up bar flu battling a routine. My mother, another Facebook chat group, found a swimmer mom as we call our particular sports Mom’s, swearing by these guys. Not the spring in particular, the elderberry gummy‘s in particular. I’ve decided to give them a shot and haven’t gone back since. Which reminds me, I probably need to order another bottle
5.0 - Great for immune system
I take these fall - spring to reduce colds and flu. Love these - they taste great and are easy to take.
5.0 - Great product and the children did not get sick.
Great product and the children did not get sick. We used this product over the winter to strengthen my children's immune system. We decided to fore-go the flu shot in favors of elderberry supplementation. This product was a hit with my daughters and appeared to work it's magic - they did not get sick once this winter. Will continue to use over the winters months. Wish it came in a 120ct serving size.
5.0 - These really work.
I bought these for my 6 and 9 year old when my husband and I were down with the flu. I 100% believe they kept my kids from catching the flu bug. We are now all taking these daily to boost overall immunity. Great tasting as well.

Our kids LOVE these. They work well to keep away the nasty flu bug

Very fresh and delicious! These gummies seem to keep me from catching the flu. I love the taste and knowing they are building my immune system. I highly recommend them!
5.0 - Great Immune Fighters
These gummies have worked well for my grandsons. They were sick and passing germs back and forth early this flu/cold/virus season. Once we got started on Sambucus Elderberry Gummies they haven't been sick at all. Their father got the flu and neither of them got it. They had a flu shot too, but the gummies have kept them healthy too. Will make sure I have a supply all the time now.
5.0 - Five Stars
good for immunity building this time of flu season
5.0 - Very good product
Thank you. Taste good too. With the flu season so bad this year. I was told this is very good to take to keep you from getting the flu
5.0 - A Must Have for Cold Season!
Less expensive than the local grocery, and the flavor packs a punch. Taking as a supplement for better respiratory health, especially during cold/flu season, and the product does not disappoint. I would definitely purchase this again and would recommend to others.
5.0 - Helped me recover from a cold
Oh my goodness, these gummies taste way too good. I bought these because a couple blogs I read regularly such as Wellness Mama recommended them for cold/flu treatment. I came down with a cold and two days after taking these gummies I was pretty much recovered. I don't know how much of my recovery can be attributed to them per se, but I will definitely take them again next time I'm sick. My husband who is pretty picky even enjoyed the taste. It takes a little willpower to restrict your serving size to two a day as directed ha.
5.0 - Yes yes yes
Good. Keeps the flu at bay!
5.0 - Not happy with these oils
These are very good gummies. They taste great and help with colds and flus. Highly recommended
5.0 - They help shorten colds
I was sick for about half of this year from the flu to multiple colds. I was reading a lot of reviews of teachers using this and it helping so I thought to give it a go. I haven't had a cold since. When I feel like I'm starting to get sick I start taking these and feel better by the end of the day or the next day.
5.0 - Expensive but worth it.
Taste Great - I had my kids take one before and one afterschool during the height of the flu outbreak in our area. And at the first sign of a sneeze or cough. Well - "knock on wood" no flu or colds in our house "yet" and it is March. I will be buying more over the summer when hopefully the price and demand come down!!!!

I bought these for my daughter who works at Yosemite front desk of one of their hotels. I am hoping this helps boost her immunity since she is exposed to so many foreign travelers.

These seem pricey but after taking one every day during flu season and not coming down with the flu (I was vaccinated), perhaps this product works! Unfortunately, who is to know for sure?
5.0 - These are very good tasting and the kids love them too

Kids LOVE the taste and so far we have avoided the flu. I was going to reorder, but the price has tripled. Trying to find them in a store that doesn't jack up prices with demand. I'll just order extra during the flu off season.
5.0 - Great gummy
They taste good and don't just have Elderberry but Vitamin C and Zinc which is super important during flu season. There is a bit more than Vitamin C then I'd like (150%) but it's for 2 gummies so I just take 1. My 4 year old eats these no issue. They aren't as gummy as Flintstones and are easier to chew.
5.0 - I swear by it now
I tried Sambucus several times this past winter when I had flu-like viruses and my symptoms lasted far less time than they have in the past. Tastes a lot better than other immunity-boosters, too.

I take two of these everyday...I didn't get a cold or the flu all winter. I'm going to keep taking them everyday for general health since it contains vitamin C and Zinc, as well as the antioxidant / bioflavonoid properties of the elderberry extract.
5.0 - Huge hit in my house
We started using elderberry last winter after my daughter had the flu. We stopped until my daughter got sick while we were on vacation across the country. We all started taking these and no one else got sick, even with her and my son sharing a bed! My daughter and I prefer the syrup mixed with grape juice. But my husband and son love the gummies. School is starting back and we all will be using our elderberry.
5.0 - Five Stars
My boys love these& they have been working during this flu season!
5.0 - Fighting flu season
Flu season has been rough, and luckily we have avoided catching it thus far. Kids get 2 gummies a day to help boost their immune system. I can't say this stuff works for sure, but we are flu free when my kids have classmates falling left and right.
5.0 - Gummy good!
Nice option for children. The gummies taste great! No flu in this house hold so far!

5.0 - Sambucus is a great brand
I keep a bottle in my car as not to forget to take them. Can't be to careful now that it is flu season.
5.0 - Kid approved
I like to make the homemade elderberry syrup but when we are out these gummies are our go to. My children prefer them over the syrup. Great for cold and flu season to boost the immune system.
5.0 - Tastes great.
These taste really good. We tried homemade Elderberry syrup and it was awful. These are grapey. Kids love them. As to the efficacy, I got them 5 days into the flu so I don't know about how they worked on me but no one else in my house caught my flu. I am disappointed to see the price on these SKYROCKET after I bought them. It's shameful for sellers to basically price gouge while people are sick (and dying) from the flu!

5.0 - Boost your immune system .... with great-tasting gummies!
I absolutely love these Gummies. I don't chew them right away, I suck on them a while and savor the fruity flavor. I take 2 a day religiously and, knock on wood, so far I've avoided all the crud going around. If I do get a bug, I up the dose to 3 times a day, and just in case, I have Oscillococcinum on-hand to knock out the flu.

These are DELICIOUS and effective. We count on them as an important part of our overall annual campaign to keep the flu and other viruses away. We are rarely sick so we're not changing our methods!
5.0 - Cold and Flu FREE
Used these as a precaution through flu season with my kids and myself and we all stayed well. No colds or flu all winter! Whoo hoo!!
5.0 - Great flavor!

I used this during flu season
5.0 - I Like it very Much!
I don't understand the reviews that say it tastes bad. To me, it tastes great and it's not meant to be candy. I have no way of knowing whether it kept the flu at bay...all I know is that I didn't get the flu...but I feel like I'm doing something to prevent it anyway.
5.0 - Love these. Helped keep us well during flu season

5.0 - My sister really believes in this product, so I got some for the cold/flu season
I havent actually taken this yet, but took Sambucol sublingual tablets when thought I was getting sick.. My sister however, who is 80, took these during cold/flu season and swears that kept her from getting sick.
4.0 - Great immune support...okay taste
I take elderberry supplements all winter to keep cold and flu systems at bay (in addition to getting a flu shot.) I truly believe they shorten my cold and lessen the symptoms for the times I do get sick. I gave it four stars because they are tolerable but I wouldn't say they taste amazing.

5.0 - Awesome
I call these "Superman" tablets because they render me so much more invincible to colds/flu etc! Thanks for a great product!
5.0 - Love it!!!
This has kept our entire family healthy since the first scares of swine flu- we all work in the service industry as well where sickness is everywhere. You feel a scratch in your throat and start taking a few more, you'll feel better by tomorrow! We swear by it!!
5.0 - BETTER THAN FLU SHOTS!
I've been using this product for almost a year and it has kept me from having colds or flu. I take a daily protective dose of 2 capsules. I use this in conjunction with Natural Factors Anti-V Formula, which I take as soon as I feel a cold coming on. Both are excellent natural products which I highly recommend.
4.0 - Heard from a friend this would ward off flu and ...
Heard from a friend this would ward off flu and colds. You need to take it before you are sick so I tried and it did help put one on delay.
4.0 - Wellness Formula Works
If you take the recommended dose Wellness Formula can stop a cold from developing or shorten the duration of an existing cold/flu.
5.0 - A must take every day
Can't live without my wellness formula. I've been taking it for over a year and I have cut down my sick time so significantly and quality of my life improved tremendously. I have a very low immune system and prone to just about any little weather change or hormonal imbalance and I catch colds, flu, sinus infections, chest infections - you name it! Wellness keeps me in check and in balance resulting in a great healthy body. I swear by it.
5.0 - GREAT PRODUCT! Initially purchased at a local health food ...
GREAT PRODUCT! Initially purchased at a local health food store from an employee recommendation for cold/flu. Found it here on Amazon much cheaper. Always have some on hand.
5.0 - Wellness Formula helped to prevent Flu
These really helped to fight off the flu virus...very nutritious...I recommend them.
5.0 - It works.
Always kept in the medicine cabinet. At the first sign of season colds/flu follow the directions as soon as possible. It works. Many persons keep a large jar at work as well.
5.0 - Start taking this the moment you feel a cold or ...
Start taking this the moment you feel a cold or flu coming on, and most of the time you won't get sick, even when the rest of the household does. Smells awful--make sure you get the caps and not the pills.
5.0 - This is the BEST stuff!
This is the BEST stuff!! If I feel a slight sore throat, cold, or flu coming on I take 3 tablets morning and evening. I've found it best to take a maintenance dose in the winter of 2 tablets once a day. It totally boosts my immune system so I rarely, if ever, get sick. I've recommended it to many people and they all have the same positive results. It's on my "Subscribe and Save" list as I can't live without it, and the Amazon price is the best!
5.0 - Pretty sure it works
For the past 4 years around the end of January and into February I would catch the latest variant of flu, cold, sniffles, chest cold or whatever happened to be floating by my terrible immune system. It seemed like it would start as allergies and then a virus would find me and send me off the edge. I would usually be home with a fever and feeling like death for 2 to 4 weeks. I tried Airborne and the like last year but it didn't do any good.
5.0 - Great Suppliment Product for immune system
The is a great suppliment product to help strengthen your immune system & minimize cold and flu symptoms. I now take one daily as a vitamin suppliment and double-up when I feel my immune system getting week due to being exposed to others with colds and flu symptoms.
5.0 - Five Stars
A must have for every family during the cold and flu season!
5.0 - Great Deterrent for Cold/Flu Misery
Very helpful and easy to take, with the first sign of possible cold or flu - I take the recommended dose for several days and often do not come down with the threatened misery as I do when not taking it. During the cold/flu season, I take one a day - and have been for many years. I swear by this product. Best if taking it regularly on the smallest dose recommended, and immediately increase to the highest dose recommended when symptoms warn of oncoming sore throat, itching ears, aches and common cold and flu symptoms.
5.0 - Five Stars
Take this instead of getting a flu shot. When all my coworkers are sick I stay healthy.
5.0 - If you are like me and follow the holistic path to wellness
If you are like me and follow the holistic path to wellness, then you need to incorporate this into your every day regimen, especially during the cold/flu season. I have been taking this for years and have not gotten sick. It is amazing.
5.0 - A pharmacist introduced me to this product.
I used to get colds and flu multiple times per year. I have fibromyalgia, which involves the immune system being low. In the three years I have been taking this, I haven't had a cold or the flu.
5.0 - Can't say enough good about it!!
I've been using the Wellness Formula for years and it is the bomb - literally, to the evil germs. If you're illin, follow as directed, obviously get as much rest and fluids as you can, and watch the germs melt away like the Wicked Witch in the Wizard of Oz. (The one and only time it didn't do the job for me, it turned out I had a bacterial infection and needed antibiotics.) It's packed with vitamins, minerals, garlic, everything you could ever imagine to crush the hateful-ass germs -- I say that because before I started taking it, I took a fair amount of vitamins and herbs like Echinacea anyway, so any germ that could get through my well-barriered immune system would be a nasty one.
5.0 - It works for me
I have used this for many years in cold and flu season and I can feel the difference quickly when I feel symptoms. Use as directed. A lot to swallow, but effective.
5.0 - Works like magic.
Start this as soon as you find yourself thinking "I feel less than stellar; I wonder if I'm coming down with something?" It blasts everything from flu to strep throat right out of the arena. My husband and I swear by it. The only times it's failed to drive off whatever bug assails us is when we've either let the crud get too much of a toehold first or let ourselves get run down. Even then, it shortens the length of our colds, flu, or whatever by days. Expensive, but worth every penny. Vital to keep on hand during flu season!
5.0 - Miracle worker
This is the most wonderful stuff! Use it at the very first sign of a cold or flu & often you can stop it in it's tracks. Originally heard about it from a Barber friend and many of his customers & staff. I have also told many of my friends who now also swear by it. This Wellness Formula is amazing! Buying it online from Amazon.com let me buy more than twice the capsules for less than 1/2 the price of the local health food store!
5.0 - Take this at first signs of feeling run down from stress
I was recommended these many years ago by a health food store. Since then, I've even given them as Christmas gifts. My gifted friends and family swear by these, too. Whenever I start getting run down from my stress-filled job, I start taking them and then, when I feel better, I taper back off. They're the best for a flu or cold. Get them and try them. You won't regret it! Money well spent and best deals through Amazon.
5.0 - EXCELLENT EXCELLENT PRODUCT
This is a staple in my medicine chest. At the very first sign of a cold etc, I start taking these and they "nip it in the bud". I now have all three of our adult children asking for them when they start to get sick. It shortens the duration and the severity of a cold or flu.
5.0 - aches and flu like symptoms. Also even after the onset of an ...
This wellness formula actually works and has rescued me from colds, aches and flu like symptoms. Also even after the onset of an imbalance, it still can speed up recovery to being in sync again..
5.0 - A miracle in a bottle if you take them at first hint of symptoms
This stuff is amazing. Any sign of a cold or flu and I start popping these like candy. 80% of the time they seem to have taken care of my symptoms so that I don't get a full onset of a cold or flu. Of course these aren't miracle pills. If you take advanced precautions like doubling your dosage of vitamin C and take these vitamins with plenty of water, rest and reduce stress levels - you will have a fighting chance. Highly recommend this formulation, my family swears by it.
5.0 - Been relying on Wellness for about 25 years now!
A friend recommended Wellness to me some 25 years ago. I have depended on it to keep me flu free, cold free, healthy in general, and it's a total success. I have gone through flu epidemics at work and I'm the one that doesn't catch it. I recommend Wellness every chance I get. It works for me.
5.0 - WORKS!
I take about 3 capsules everyday. While others are getting sick, I stay well! (even when I'm exposed to sick people) No need for the flu shot!
5.0 - My Go To !
A friend turned me onto this product last winter when the flu was so bad, schools were closing and the death record from the flu was more than I'd ever heard of here in SE Oklahoma. I started taking this as the bottle suggested and I never got the flu. I take the maintenance dose of 1 a day now and I just got another bottle to keep me going thru the fall and winter. Let me add that I got sick with the flu, almost every year, have had pneumonia, and It worked for me! I did have my Dr. and pharmacist check that it was safe to take with my medications, and it was, in fact my Dr. said "all good stuff in here" :)
5.0 - Good cold and flu defence.
I have used wellness formula for many years, and it has been very good in reducing the length of time of any call or flu symptoms that I have had.

i swear this stuff warded off the flu this winter- we were one of the only families at my kids preschool who didnt get hit hard
5.0 - Must have for every household
I recommend this product to everybody. It definitely reduces the symptoms of flu and colds.
5.0 - Works, and much cheaper than whole foods!
I have had a really terrible immune system in the past, and I normally get sick several times a cold/flu season, last year I was sick the ENTIRE month of December with a cold, then bronchitis, almost to the point of pneumonia. I started taking these because I have an in home child care now, and I really can't AFFORD to get sick. I cannot tell you how this nips the sickness right in the bud. I am so convinced that I have begun taking 2 tablets a day so I just don't even get the inkling of being sick. I begun having cold/flu symptoms last Friday, tired, achy, freezing cold and shivery, and I downed six of these. Within three hours I had terrible garlic breath, but lost the foggy, achy, chilled feeling and felt at 100%. I really believe these played a huge part in that. This is a great value, and less than half the price of Whole Foods. I subscribed so my husband can start taking them too. Excited about my new immune system!
5.0 - Five Stars
These are my wonder pills to fight colds and flu.
5.0 - Not a miracle drug, but darn close!
My go to pill whenever I do not feel great. If I feel any sickness coming on, mostly flu, cold, sore throat, allergies. I will amp up the amount of Wellness formula, instead of 2-4 pills a day, I take the recommended 6 pills every 3 hours and it knocks it right out. I usually end up with colds that last several weeks. I have always been like this since I can remember, I am 33 now. Since I discovered Wellness Formula my colds last no more than a day! I have turned several of my friends on to it as well. Almost half price on Amazon as opposed to locally!
5.0 - Amazing boost for immunity
Amazing boost for immunity. Take at first sign of scratchy throat, active lymph glands or other signs of starting to fight a cold/flu. Usually symptoms just go away! Even when you think it's too late to reverse it, it has worked on numerous occasions. My patients and I both have the same experience. Take 1 per day in cold/flu season to avoid getting sick. Take with food to avoid irritating your stomach in the longterm--- has a lot of Vit C and garlic---strong, but potent and natural, and best of all, EFFECTIVE stuff!
5.0 - Great immune system booster
I haven't gotten a flu shot in two years, and have not gotten sick (not even a cold) since I started taking these. I usually take 4 capsules per day, and 6-8 on rare occasions when I feel I'm getting sick. A 6 capsule dose packs a mega dose of Vitamin C along with herbs and minerals that boost the immune system. I always make sure that I have a spare bottle at home and at work. I also know that Source Naturals has a great reputation in the supplement industry. I know this stuff works!

Great product. Using it to keep that flu at bay....despite flu shots people seem to be affected.....so anything to boost up our immune system is a winner
5.0 - Works wonderfully
I’ve been using this for years now. I’m not a healthy person and my immune system is not existent by using this product. I have not gotten the flu in years, if I start to get it I take it as soon as I feel the onset and it’s gone. this is amazing stuff
5.0 - Fantastic Product!
Amazing product. I use it daily. Since I started using it, I've had no issues with colds or sickness. If I feel like something is coming on, I take the extreme dose and all is good. Great for flu season.

One of my go to supplements in the winter time for colds and fighting the flu. Contains elderberry extract which is essential in any wellness formula to battle viruses.
5.0 - Seems to work great for me
I use this daily. When the flu and cold season comes. I increase it to 2-4 daily, to help ward off the dreaded flu and colds. Seems to work great for me.
5.0 - Every time I feel I am getting sick, or ...
Every time I feel I am getting sick, or have already started, I take Wellness. It always stops it in its tracks 100% of the time. And this has been years now. 100% of the time!! I also take a maintenance dose when traveling or doing cold/flu season.
5.0 - and my immunity isn't the best. Love this product
Haven't been sick in months since I started taking it! None of the family has! I was exposed to the flu and several viruses, and my immunity isn't the best. Love this product!
5.0 - Always works
After 2 years of taking this when needed, I can ward off sinus problems!! Further, I escape the flu and stomach bugs when they hit the workplace.
5.0 - Preventative health care
This product was recvommended to us by our older son. He and his friends have had great success using it to combat the affects of flu,colds,etc.
5.0 - This is a great product!
Good brand. Great product. My naturopathic physician recommended this years ago - she was very quality aware and based her recommendations on both applied kinesiology and scientific research/evidence. We use it whenever we are beginning to feel under the weather or if we have been around others who have been sick. It is a great boost to your immune system. I have also seen it work wonders with people who were chronically sick (cold, flu, bronchitis, etc..... not other more serious conditions). My ND also recommended against using it a more than 1/2 of the days during any one year, so that it does not decrease it's effectiveness over time.
5.0 - Always Liked "Wellness" and this was a good price.
We've taken Wellness for years and they really do seem to cut the time of a cold or flu... There are two "types" of the same formula, tablet and capsule. The tablet are more concentrated, the capsule is easier to take. As the number you take is different, and as the number of "pills" in the various size bottles is different, you may have to do some math to find the best deal... In any case, which ever you prefer, we think it's a good idea to get them before you need them, just in case you get caught in a group of coughers and sneezers...
5.0 - A Life Changer!
I haven't had my normal bronchitis since taking this supplement! Two-a-day does the trick, and double if I feel the start of symptoms. It is important to take it with food since it can cause some reflux.
5.0 - Amazing stuff!
I purchased this product because I was feeling the first signs of a cold or flu coming on. I didn't take it until the next morning when I really had developed symptoms and felt like crap (body aches, headache, painful coughs, weakness and dizziness.) I then started taking it as the directions suggest for "imbalance": 3 tablets every 3 hours. When I woke the second morning, instead of feeling even worse, like my typical colds, I actually felt better. If I had been taking this all along, I'm sure I wouldn't have gotten sick at all. This is a must for your medicine cabinet and preventative routine! Very effective even at healing/curing!
5.0 - Great to keep colds and the flu to a minimum!
I love to take these when I start not feeling quite right. If I can do this right away it can stop, or at least shorten the time I'm down sick with the flu or cold. These Source Natural Wellness Capsule go down so easy since they are capsules, and I make sure to keep drinking water or tea for a while after I take them since it seems to help it process and absorb better. There are no side effects that come with it as in other cold medications so you won't get drowsy. I definitely can recommend Source Wellness Capsules for a natural way to try to keep from getting sick.
5.0 - This is the stuff that gets me through the winter ...
This is the stuff that gets me through the winter without getting run over by flu and cough and cold bugs ... a must in the apothecary!
5.0 - Five Stars
I recommend to all my patients in cold and flu season!!
5.0 - A great cold preventative
This product was introduced to me by my pastor's wife. She said to use it anytime you feel you could be getting sick. She takes it regularly during cold/flu season. I just use it when I get the sniffles. Works great to prevent colds and I'm sure it works on flu as well. If I get sick I am down for 3 weeks but now that I take Wellness Formula I rarely get a cold. The best price I have found has been Amazon.
5.0 - Take to fend off flu/colds/viruses. I use it as ...
Take to fend off flu/colds/viruses. I use it as soon as I feel I'm coming down with something; every four hours, three caps.
5.0 - Continues too be useful.
I have been using this product for a number of years and while it doesn't cure flu or colds, it does seem to consistently decrease the length and depth of misery for me compared to not taking it at all. It seems to more effective if taken at the first sign of affliction. It lasts a long time since I only use it for the first few days when I'm coming down with something.
5.0 - Will always keep on hand
There's a lot I could go on about here, but in short, I was super super sick from something flu-like (but way worse than any flu I've had), possibly worsened by black mold discovered subsequently, and this stuff felt like the only thing that brought me back. During the worst times I would take the amount they tell you every two hours rather than three and that made a big difference too. I would recommend keeping this stuff on hand for any time you feel like you're coming down with something.
5.0 - Take this and stay well!
This is my family’s “go to” when we are exposed to the flu and colds. If you take it at the first sign that you MIGHT be getting sick, it will help you fight it. Follow the directions and STAY WELL! Offices should carry this for anyone that wants to take it to avoid getting sick. It really works! I didn’t love the taste of the tablets and the capsules fixed that concern completely. Eat first and drink lots of water. Thank you for Wellness Formula!
5.0 - Works Great
Keeps colds and flu at bay.
4.0 - Worth getting over the smell/taste
I bought this at my local health food store to boost my immune system. Last week, my husband got the flu. He still has it lingering (so it's been about a week and a half). When I came down with it a few days after him, I started taking 3 capsules a night, and I got totally over the virus within 3 days of taking it (4 days total), less than half the time it took my husband. But it smells and tastes AWFUL.
5.0 - this thing works for me
I don't serious flu anymore. Don't know if it's the propolis or sambucus that is in here but this thing works better Tamiflu for me. The anti viral and anti biotic qualities of this supplement are incredible: works on ear infection, cuts, cold sores, pink eye, and obviously common cold and flue. Perhaps FDA needs to regulate this...
5.0 - Five Stars
Good stuff. Can't be without it during cold/flu season.
5.0 - It's a miracle and it truly works
I reach for this product immediately when I feel an imbalance, i.e., sore throat...headache. Whatever your symptoms, head for this product ASAP and it will make small tracks out of what could have been a giant. Best used only for times you have the start of cold or flu symptoms....it really works and I've never been let down in the many years I have used it.
5.0 - Good Stuff
I will get a sinus infection at least 2 times a year, every year --guaranteed! My sicknesses last easily 2 months if not longer and everything my husband or son gets, I get. This Wellness Formula has been amazing for me this past winter (the winter that never ends); my husband caught the flu and was sick for a week, but I didn't get it. I did feel like I was fighting something, but never had any symptoms manifest. As soon as I start feeling a little off, I pop 6 of those suckers and I'm good to go.
5.0 - Five Stars
Very helpful in alleviating colds and flu
5.0 - Source Naturals Wellness Forumula - Say Goodbye to Colds and Flu
I have never been this impressed with a supplement before. Source Naturals Wellness Formula can be taken year round for general wellness but most take it during the cold and flu season. I took a chance on this after reading every single review I could find on it both on Amazon.com and elsewhere and I am so happy that I did. Both my wife and I swear by this stuff and since we started taking it roughly two years ago neither one of us have been sick with a cold or the flu. We have three kids and they are always bringing home "bugs" from school. On top of that my wife is an R.N. and she is around sick people all day. With Source Naturals Wellness Formula we worry less about getting sick. Is it possible to get the flu or a cold while taking this? I imagine so but we have yet to get sick since taking this product.
5.0 - Great !
I have never reviewed anything on amazon. I swear by this stuff. My immune system was shot several months ago. I have 5 kids and was constantly catching anything and everything they brought home. Someone recommended this and I started talking 1 tablet daily several months ago. This past month 5 people in my family got the flu and I was dreading what I thought was inevitable. It never happened. I felt a little worn down one night and was totally expecting to wake up feeling terrible. I took extra before bed and woke up feeling great. I never got sick. I definitely recommend it to everyone.
5.0 - It works
I've never really taken nutritional supplements but last year when I was suffering from a cold, I was introduced to the Wellness Formula and after taking it for two days, I recovered. I thought it was a fluke so the next time I had symptoms of a cold coming on, I bought it and tried it again and it worked. Now, whenever I have symptoms of getting ill, I take it prophylactically and I haven't suffered from a cold yet. I've told others about it and they state the same. I'm not sure what's in this stuff and how it works, but it works.
5.0 - Wellness Formula is a great immune system booster!
I have put so many people onto this amazing supplement. I was first introduced to this supplement by a good friend whose husband had a bone marrow transplant and she wanted to make sure he was protected. She recommended that at the first sign of a cold, I take four capsules every four hours until symptoms subside. I did so when I felt a tickle in my throat and the onset of a cold coming on. This supplement knocked the cold out of my system before it took hold. A number of co-workers swear by the Wellness Formula now. Each capsule has 1300mg of Vit C, in addition to other herbal ingredients so it packs a punch. And the ingredients are water soluble so whatever your body doesn't use, gets flushed out. This can also be taken as a supplement every day for immune system reinforcement.
5.0 - Great Product! Worth every penny
This product works especially well when you have that slight tingle in your throat and it's probably going to turn into a full blown cold/flu...the bottle says to take 6 pills=one serving size. I really really do feel like it gets you out of the woods. It doesn't seem to work if you are already full blown sick. Every one of my family members uses this product..It's worth every penny...about $20 to be exact..they carry it at my local Sprouts.
5.0 - If you have reflux and can't sleep get these!
These came very highly recommended from a friend. They are great ! I'm now off my prescription drug and I feel great. I had been taking Protonix ( abbreviation) for over 10 years. I know these are much safer to take and healthier for me.
5.0 - My secretary takes 5 of these a day and has ...
My secretary takes 5 of these a day and has never been sick in about 5 years. I take sporadically and it helps reduce flu symptoms, but I need to take it daily.
5.0 - This stuff really works!!
I am a fairly healthy person so when I suggested this to my husband who gets sick every cold and flu season at least twice, he thought it was just another one of my "healthy" ideas. Well it was but it worked!! He started taking it immediately when he started getting sick and for the first time in years he managed through last year's season without getting sick. Last week he started having some symptoms and failed to take Wellness Formula and ended up getting sick again. I just ordered another 240 capsules of the stuff. I think he learned his lesson.
5.0 - Really love this product
Really love this product. A lot of trace minerals for healing. Works great. Capsules are easier to swallow. Will cont to use. Helped to relieve and shorten flue. GREAT PRODUCT THANKS
4.0 - Good way to Support Immune System
I live in a harsh cold, dry climate 9 months out of the year, and when the flu hits the area, it is nasty and hard to get over. I started taking these wellness capsules once a day to maintain my immune system and then 3 times a day when I am starting to feel sick. I no longer am stuck on the couch for 3-4 days unable to move when the first wave of the flu season hits. These things are amazing, and much cheaper on Amazon then in my local health food store. Will continue to purchase through Amazon.
5.0 - PERFECT!! I have Never had a product work ...
PERFECT!! I have Never had a product work in 24 hours before. It is RARE for it to take 48 hours. I don't know another product that will END flue, cold, etc. WITH SUCH SPEED!! And they advertise PLENTY (but you never see ads for WELLNESS, and IT does work!!)

Great deal! Love this product and this seller made it easy. The Wellness Formula is the one supplement that has always helped me to not get sick or get well fast. A must for cold and flu season.

I rarely write reviews....this has worked for me twice during the horrible cold & flu season. Discovered it by random Chance. Started takin 6 pills twice/day when symptoms first surfaced & within a day I was cold free!!!! Everyone should have this on hand!
5.0 - My best friend turned me onto this formula several years ago
My best friend turned me onto this formula several years ago. As soon as I feel any symptoms I use this and Bionic mouthwash (no longer available) and I never miss a beat. It's a must for cld and flu season.
5.0 - Five Stars
Best product for getting thru cold, flu's, etc and staying healthy.
5.0 - I started taking it in response to a weakened immune system and a bad head cold
I have used this product for a few years now (4) and would not want to be without it. I started taking it in response to a weakened immune system and a bad head cold.( a close friend recommended the product.) I followed the directions and took it 3 x a day (3 capsules at a time) Within 2 days, I was feeling significantly better and by the 3rd day I was completely well. I then started taking it to maintain a healthy immune system. (2 a day works well for me.) I have not been ill since I started taking this product 4 years ago. Because of my age (69) I do get an annual flu shot. I refuse to be without it. Works wonders for me.
5.0 - Aptly Named Helps the Immune System
I've not gotten sick since I started using this, (4 a day), about 6 months ago. Got through the flu season and seem to be resistant to those bad 2 week colds that come around every now and then. I go to meetings and mingle with many people in small rooms about 4 times a week, so I am exposed to whatever is the illness du jour at the time.
5.0 - Five Stars
These are LIFE SAVERS during cold and flu season.
5.0 - In my opinion.
This product has kept me free from colds and flu now for 2 years. I don't get a flu shot because I don't need one with this product. I take 3 tablets daily as a maintenance dose. It is a great product.
5.0 - I love this
It is my go to when I need to fight off a cold or whatever bug may be around. It is so worth buying and has kept away the flu and other cold symptoms.
5.0 - My whole family uses this!
Wonderful stuff. I have my whole family on it specially during the flue season.
5.0 - It works great a long time customer of this produce great for the flu and cold season
I have been using this produce for a couple year now and it getting hard to found since where I was buying closed. I am glad I found it on line. We are not down with the flu or colds since we been taking this.
5.0 - Fending off illness
I travel almost every week for work. Long international flights mean breathing recycled air for 12+ hours. I used to get sick every single time I flew those long flights (i.e. I was never truly healthy). But ever since a friend recommended Wellness Formula (and Wellness Fizz) I haven't had a single cold, flu, or illness. Since the Wellness Formula is the only thing I changed, I attribute my new found health to taking these wonder pills.
5.0 - Well now for 5 1/2 years.
After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, I was sick with bronchitis, sinusitis, walking pneumonia (requiring antibiotics), and finally, fluid behind the eardrum for over 3 months. I had to continue working since I was the Claims Officer for Keesler AFB and we had to investigate, process and approve hundreds of hurricane-related claims by servicemen. One of the sergeants from another base, recommended the Wellness Formula along with goldenseal. After recovering from the above ailments, I began taking the pills as directed. I take at least three per day and have not been ill for 5 1/2 years. Due to an old injury to my sinus wall, I used to get one or two sinus infections each year, but I have been symptom-free these many months. I have recommended it to friends and family with positive results. Along with the many herbs, the formula contains vitamin C, echinacea, and zinc. I highly recommend it to everyone.
5.0 - best vitiman EVER!!!!!
My stomach is extremely sensitive to multi vitamins however I can wash a couple wellness formula capsules down with black coffee no problem! This is the best all around multi vitamin EVER!!! I take 1 every hour or so during flu season since 2010... I haven't been sick since!
5.0 - Great Stuff!
I swear by this stuff during cold and flu season! I take 2 a day and stay pretty healthy. If I do start to feel sick I bump them up to taking 8 total and that usually works and I feel better the next day.
5.0 - A Great Product!
I've taken Wellness Formula over thirty years & will continue taking it as long as it's available. It has kept me from getting the flu and catching colds. A friend told me about it and I was skeptical when she told me the same thing... but, I swear by it!
5.0 - Smaller size, this stuff really works!
This stuff really works, and many of the ingredients have been shown to reduce both the severity and duration of the Flu, etc. Mind you, it doesn't CURE the Flu. But it always make me feel better, and I have taken it several times with what I thought were "pre-flu" symptom and they didn't develop into a full blown Flu attack. Works better than that "airborn" stuff.
5.0 - Can't be without this!
BEST product for warding off colds. Always good to have on hand during cold and flu season. Helps make the season merry!
5.0 - Simply Amazed by the effectiveness of this product
My husband and I use this product religiously whenever either of us feels even the slightest clue of impending illness. In fact since we started using this product a few years ago both of us have managed to avoid the cold and flu. However it does not help with allergies, I guess nothing's perfect, but this is pretty close. Keep up the good work and we'll keep buying more.
5.0 - Best Health Product Available
Better then a flu shot! This product really works. We take mega doses at the first sign of a weakened immune system. We take routinely as a support to the immune system and after one full year noticed a significant reduction in seasonal allergies, so much so that no treatment was needed. I recommend this product to everyone. You have to actually take it for it to work.
4.0 - When trying to avoid the bug going around, I take this.
A trusted friend recommended these to me during a flu outbreak last year. Whenever I feel as though I might be coming down with something or if my kids become sick and I want to avoid getting sick myself, I start taking this Wellness Formula immediately. You can take it daily if you like and just increase your dosage when you feel you need an immunity boost. I believe it works and will continue to use it.
5.0 - Great product
Great product so far no flu or colds
5.0 - I have not gotten sick yet
I never get a flu shot. I have Fibromyalgia and cancer. My husband has an auto immune disease. He doesn't get flu shots either. He volunteers at the Fire Dept and I volunteer at a nursing home, so we are around germs. This is my second bottle. We've made it thru flu and cold season. My husband did get sick but it was not nearly as severe as it could have been. I stared to get it, then took extra doses and I was better in two days. I will continue to take these as long as I'm living.
5.0 - Keeps those bugs away...
i tried by recommendation of local health food store, I don't have greatest immune system and this kept away colds and flu for a year....miraculous. i take one every day, more if i'm feeling stressed or buggy. take on full stomach. Capsules best way to go, or kid chewables. ( smell/ taste is horrific)
5.0 - This is probably the best product I have ever found that truly stands up ...
This is probably the best product I have ever found that truly stands up to what it promises. If I feel a little sluggish or think I am coming down with the flu or cold I increase the number I take and 1 or 2 days later I am well again. I love this product.
5.0 - these are my good to get better fast solution
Wellness Formula rocks! Whenever I start to feel a flu or cold hitting, I start taking these and typically within 12 hours have knocked it out of my system. Really nothing else like it. These have save me during finals, scuba trips, vacations and important business trips. I always add them to my travel bags and can't recommend them highly enough.
4.0 - Works, but the capsules give me heartburn.
I found this product initially at the local healthfood store after being sick on and off for a month and a half (our clients don't wash their hands.. yuck). It worked so well. I decided to see if I could find a better price online, and this is a great price. However.. the ones I got at the health food store were tablets, not capsules, and the dose was 3 instead of 6. Fine, I don't mind taking a bunch of capsules at once. However, about 75% of the time I take this stuff, it gives me pretty wicked heartburn for a solid hour or so. Major pain, but I'll take it over getting sick. It definitely keeps me from catching the colds and flus that are in constant rotation at my job.
5.0 - My Go To Immune Booster
I read about this product a year ago as a great way to avoid or shorten a cold. I was skeptical at first but I now know it really works. I have used this when I have felt a cold coming on ad managed to stop it on two separate occasions. I have also used this once when I had the flu and even though I still had flu symptoms they were a lot milder than usual. My only complaint is that the dosing is intense. They expect you to swallow 6 pills several times a day when you are sick or exposed to an illness! I usually take 6 or 12 (if I'm up for it) a day and I found even that makes a huge difference.
5.0 - Magic
Magic. This saves lives. Changes lives. Is life. Seriously. I hate getting sick and this prevents colds/flus, boosts my immune system and is the best thing since anything.
5.0 - Immune system builder that works.
Wellness formula really works. My wife's mother was real susceptible to colds, flu and pneumonia so I got her to start taking these and she had not more problems. Her other daughter who is a nurse said to take another vitamin and she go sick and pneumonia within about 4 months. My wife was the director of a medical lab and her mom's immune system was terrible until she started on the Wellness formula. Within 2 months is showed improvement and she did not get sick anymore at all until her other daughter took her off it. When she recovered from her pneumonia my wife got her back on the wellness formula and .she has had no colds, flu or pneumonia since and she will shortly be 85 years old and her immune system according to her lab work again shows improvement.
5.0 - Great weapon during cold and flu season
Don't go without this during cold and flu season. Great value. Get gel caps to mask potent favor.
5.0 - Prevent sickness!
If I take 6 of these 3 to 4 times per day when I feel a cold or flu coming, it will fight it off!
5.0 - Works for me
I took the Wellness Formula for years and never got sick. I stopped taking it two years ago and started getting winter colds, a recurrence of allergies. Just started taking it again about 5 months ago and stayed well through the flu and cold season. Call it a placebo drug or what you will, I'll keep taking it.
5.0 - I have used this product since 1999 and I still stand by it.
This product is my "go to" during winter months. I first learned of this product back in the 1990's when my mother was a pre school teacher. She swore by it after trying it for her first cold / flu season. I have since used this product as an immune defense / maintenance supplement. It has never failed. It works just as the instructions describe, and I have found that it will kill the length of a virus by half time. Meaning that if a cold usually takes 3-6 days to recover from symptoms; if you take wellness formula as directed during your imbalance, you will be clear nosed and snot free within 2-3 days.
5.0 - Great Product- but you must take it correctly
Years ago this was recommended to me by a coworker when I worked outside at a local market. I had a terrible cold and she suggested I go buy this. I have used it ever since (that was 1997). At the first sign of a cold of any kind or flu like feelings, I take the recommended amount (six capsules- 3 times a day for several days) and drink lots of water and try to get as much sleep as possible. I also take 2 capsules a day during the winter cold/flu months. While everyone else has a cold that lasts for weeks, mine is gone in days. Try this stuff! It has worked very well for me over the years.
5.0 - A product worth buying!
These are some great pills to have in your collection! We don't like to be without! Especially through flu season. We take 3 capsules daily when we are on a trip (to keep our immune system up) and when at home, we take 6 capsules AS SOON AS WE FEEL the slightest virus coming on, and it usually kicks it! If you don't catch it early enough, it won't do as much, but...you learn to be aware early!!! Do yourself a favor and buy these! This price is great, too! I was buying from our local health food store, but they have a hard time keeping it in stock (everyone wants it!) And these are bigger bottles! Bonus!
5.0 - This stuff is great for colds...
I used this product years ago and found if I felt a cold or flu coming on I would start taking it and found the symtomes were much less severe. I couln't find this in local stores, but l am glad I found it again....
5.0 - Awesome Product
This is an AWESOME product. I swear by this product's ability to raise the immune system and keep colds and flu at bay. I wouldn't be without it.

A nurse recommended this to me for sinus infections & I recommend all sick people try them for colds & flus:) the only thing that sucks is it say to take 6 every 3 hours & I have to swallow them one by one with lots of water to prevent yucky burps
5.0 - No more miserable colds for our family!!
I used to get sick all the time. It was miserable, I was miserable & I was the one bringing the germs into the house & getting everyone else sick. I felt like a prisoner in my home every year during cold/flu season. I came across this product on Amazon & decided to give it a try & it has literally been life changing! The other reviewers detail how it's used so I won't reiterate that other then to say that I use a smaller dose as a preventative throughout the winter & then take the recommended dose when I feel a cold coming on. We keep a bottle in our cars, each bathroom, the kitchen, etc & I wish the kids could keep a bottle in their lockers at school! Thank you Source Naturals for this wonderful product. We have tried other products made by other companies but nothing compares to Wellness Formula.
5.0 - works miracles
I start taking this whenever I feel a cold or flu coming and I have not gotten sick in over 2 years! It is awesome.
5.0 - Good to take at the first sign of catching something.
A friend suggested these capsules, and every time I think I’m coming down with something, cold or sore throat, I start taking these and the next morning I feel fine. However, my husband and I both had the flu from a cruise we were on. High fevers and felt terrible. We started taking these but they didn’t work once we were already sick.
5.0 - Five Stars
The best cure for the flu there is.
5.0 - Really works!!
This stuff is AMAZING despite what others are saying about it. I have been taking this stuff for years and yes the formula has slightly changed, but I have never gotten sick. I was recommended this stuff by a DO (Doctor of Osteopathic medicine). I work at a school were I am pretty much destined to get something especially around flu season. However, not this girl!!!
4.0 - Great Cure-All Product
I dealt with a cold for weeks and weeks on end and was sleeping, drinking fluids, etc. Nothing would stop it. I ordered this product after a suggestion from a friend and wala-gone. It's a natural way to end sickness and with all the nutrients, it'll help you knock out your sickness in no time.
5.0 - My flu preventative
This supplement is chock-full of really good immune boosters, like Elderberry, Echinacea, Garlic, Propolis, Olive Leaf, etc. If you take a multivitamin, I wouldn't while taking this supplement, this already contains a lot of vitamins (A, C, D-3, Zinc, Calcium, etc).
5.0 - Prevents ommon cold/flu
I've used this product for years. When I take it at the first signs of imbalance, it usually prevents colds/flu, even when I have been heavily exposed to others who are sick. It seems to alkalize my system.
5.0 - Proactive health solution to keep you away from the doctor
I don't take flu shots, I take Wellness Formula.
5.0 - I won't go through a cold/flu season without it.
This stuff is awesome! Any time I feel my immune system falter, I start on this and I don't come down with a bug. I won't go through a cold/flu season with out it!
5.0 - Works Great For Me and High Quality Product
Been using and recommending this product for years to friends when they start to get sick, have everybody hooked during cold and flu season and as a preventive before traveling.
5.0 - Follow the directions on the bottle and you'll be set!
I've been using this stuff for a long time. If you start seeing early signs of a cold or flu, and you take 3 of these a few times a day, you'll be better by the next day. IT'S AMAZING! Follow the directions on the bottle!
4.0 - Good product, be careful with dosage
Good product in my opinion. No side effects or interactions but be careful with dosage. I followed the instructions and had no problems, but my sister tried these and had a slight rash on her skin. It's difficult to attribute it to use of Formula, since she was taking some other over the counter meds to treat her flu condition.
4.0 - Great formula to stay healthy
I take this product during the cold/flu season. If I start to feel sick I take a couple every 3-4 hours. It always helps me feel better. It contains all the best immune boosters.
5.0 - Miracle Pills
I swear by these vitamins! No need for the flu-shot when taking these regularly, they truly keep your immune system strong. My boyfriend was coming down with a cold and was experiencing flu like systems when I told him to go out and buy this product. He took 6 pills and was completely fine the next morning. I take 2 pills daily, and have not been sick yet - even when exposed to others who had the flu. Strongly recommend for warding off colds and flu!
5.0 - Five Stars
Cold/Flu Seasons Best Defense Ever
5.0 - Fantastic Product
Started using this about 5 years ago when I came down with the flu. It worked fast without those over the counter side effects. I now take it once day for an immune booster and love it.. and this is a great price for what you're getting.
5.0 - The best cold season supplement
I buy this on a regular basis and always have an extra bottle in the house. This cuts a cold or even a flu in half for me.
5.0 - Perfect for flu
Always a supply in our medicine inventory. Perfect for flu, colds, etc....is someone in the family has a cold, then others should take this product. It helps
4.0 - This works great for me, but capules stick in my lower throat
I've used Wellness for years, and I swear by it. I like to joke that it is my placebo of choice. When I feel the first hint of something coming on, I start taking it. I can usually stop the cold or flu in its tracks.
5.0 - BEST IN CLASS
I recommend this product to any1 that loves to stay healthy!! Mom dad daughter son father cousin spouse lol EVERYONE!!!! I have bought this product for a couple years now and colds flu's and anything else cant stick around to save them lives lol. Overall very satisfied with this product!
5.0 - Works great
I've been taking one of these each morning, plus a package of Emergen-C and I've only been sick once in 4 years. I used to get a cold every year. I start taking them when it gets cold and everybody starts getting sick and quit in the spring when flu and cold season is over. Works great.
5.0 - I swear by this stuff - always have a bottle on hand.
I am pretty convinced that this works - especially if I take it consistently for a few days at the very start of a cold. I didn't get sick for 5 years, possibly because I took a few tablets whenever I felt a cold coming on. Last spring I got the flu that was going around and I was horribly sick despite taking the tablets, but recovered fully in only three days. I used to take plain echinacea (for about 20 years) and Wellness Formula seems to be much more effective. Sure, might be a placebo effect, but I'm cool with that since I'm almost never sick!
5.0 - A Must-Have For Flu Season
This has saved me from getting sick. Everytime I feel a little something coming on, I take the high-end dose 2-4 time at the rate recommended on the bottle, and have kept myself healthy even when many people close to me are sick. This has been a must have for me during this season. Keep it around and take it EARLY to KEEP from getting sick is the key.
5.0 - The BEST immune builder hands down
The BEST immune builder hands down! Been using this for years...at the very hint of a cold or flu..double the dosage and wham..GONE!
5.0 - This stuff really works, either by the placebo effect ...
This stuff really works, either by the placebo effect or by its physical properties. I don't know which. If I take it according to the directions as soon as I have the first inkling of a cold or flu or when I am exposed to them, I don't get sick. Ever.
5.0 - Price I paid on Amazon was better then Vitacost
I've been taking this for about 4 years now. It is a MUST whenever I catch cold/flu or my immune system is low! Price I paid on Amazon was better then Vitacost.
5.0 - HEAD THE FLUE OFF AT THE PASS
THE MOMENT I START TO FEEL LIKE I AM COMING DOWN WITH THE FLUE OR A COLD (ITCHY THROAT, HEADACHE, MALAISE, ETC.) I START TAKING THE WELLNESS FORMULA BY SOURCE NATURALS. IT WORKS EVERY TIME. I START TAKING 2 TABLETS EVERY 4 HOURS, AND USUALLY I NEVER GET A FULL BLOWN CASE OF THE FLUE. MY FRIENDS, WHO DON'T TAKE WELLNESSS, WILL SUFFER FOR 4-6 DAYS WITH SYMTOMS, WHILE I AM OVER IT IN A DAY OR TWO! I'VE BEEN USING THIS PRODUCT SINCE THE MID EIGHTIES,TRY IT AND SEE FOR YOURSELF.
5.0 - Has made a big difference in winter colds
I've been using this product for many years as it seems like since childhood I was always the first person to catch every bug and the last one to get better. This has been one of the most effective things I have found to ramp up your immune system during cold and flu season. I do not take it all the time but keep it on hand at all times so that at the first sign of itchy throat or ookey feeling I can start taking it. Often, if I can get after it fast enough, it never develops into a full blown illness. If I do get sick, I believe this helps me fight it off a lot faster. If a family member comes down with cold or flu I always take it and oftentimes do not develop sickness. I did have sinus surgery awhile back and I think that helped a lot as far as getting sick all of the time but I have no doubt that I would be catching a lot more crud in the winter if not for this stuff. It has made a huge difference for me.
5.0 - Best Vitamin
I have been using Wellness Formula for well over a decade. It truly is the best vitamin I have found to either prevent me from getting sick when everyone around me has a cold, flu, etc, or to help me quickly recover when I've already gotten sick.

5.0 - BETTER THAN FLU SHOTS!
I've been using this product for almost a year and it has kept me from having colds or flu. I take a daily protective dose of 2 capsules. I use this in conjunction with Natural Factors Anti-V Formula, which I take as soon as I feel a cold coming on. Both are excellent natural products which I highly recommend.

Heard from a friend this would ward off flu and colds. You need to take it before you are sick so I tried and it did help put one on delay.

If you take the recommended dose Wellness Formula can stop a cold from developing or shorten the duration of an existing cold/flu.

5.0 - In my opinion.
This product has kept me free from colds and flu now for 2 years. I don't get a flu shot because I don't need one with this product. I take 3 tablets daily as a maintenance dose. It is a great product.
5.0 - Wellness Formula helped to prevent Flu
These really helped to fight off the flu virus...very nutritious...I recommend them.
5.0 - Start taking this the moment you feel a cold or ...
Start taking this the moment you feel a cold or flu coming on, and most of the time you won't get sick, even when the rest of the household does. Smells awful--make sure you get the caps and not the pills.
5.0 - This is the BEST stuff!
This is the BEST stuff!! If I feel a slight sore throat, cold, or flu coming on I take 3 tablets morning and evening. I've found it best to take a maintenance dose in the winter of 2 tablets once a day. It totally boosts my immune system so I rarely, if ever, get sick. I've recommended it to many people and they all have the same positive results. It's on my "Subscribe and Save" list as I can't live without it, and the Amazon price is the best!
5.0 - Pretty sure it works
For the past 4 years around the end of January and into February I would catch the latest variant of flu, cold, sniffles, chest cold or whatever happened to be floating by my terrible immune system. It seemed like it would start as allergies and then a virus would find me and send me off the edge. I would usually be home with a fever and feeling like death for 2 to 4 weeks. I tried Airborne and the like last year but it didn't do any good.
5.0 - Five Stars
A must have for every family during the cold and flu season!
5.0 - Great Deterrent for Cold/Flu Misery
Very helpful and easy to take, with the first sign of possible cold or flu - I take the recommended dose for several days and often do not come down with the threatened misery as I do when not taking it. During the cold/flu season, I take one a day - and have been for many years. I swear by this product. Best if taking it regularly on the smallest dose recommended, and immediately increase to the highest dose recommended when symptoms warn of oncoming sore throat, itching ears, aches and common cold and flu symptoms.
5.0 - Five Stars
Take this instead of getting a flu shot. When all my coworkers are sick I stay healthy.
5.0 - If you are like me and follow the holistic path to wellness
If you are like me and follow the holistic path to wellness, then you need to incorporate this into your every day regimen, especially during the cold/flu season. I have been taking this for years and have not gotten sick. It is amazing.
5.0 - Can't say enough good about it!!
I've been using the Wellness Formula for years and it is the bomb - literally, to the evil germs. If you're illin, follow as directed, obviously get as much rest and fluids as you can, and watch the germs melt away like the Wicked Witch in the Wizard of Oz. (The one and only time it didn't do the job for me, it turned out I had a bacterial infection and needed antibiotics.) It's packed with vitamins, minerals, garlic, everything you could ever imagine to crush the hateful-ass germs -- I say that because before I started taking it, I took a fair amount of vitamins and herbs like Echinacea anyway, so any germ that could get through my well-barriered immune system would be a nasty one.
5.0 - It works for me
I have used this for many years in cold and flu season and I can feel the difference quickly when I feel symptoms. Use as directed. A lot to swallow, but effective.
5.0 - Works like magic.
Start this as soon as you find yourself thinking "I feel less than stellar; I wonder if I'm coming down with something?" It blasts everything from flu to strep throat right out of the arena. My husband and I swear by it. The only times it's failed to drive off whatever bug assails us is when we've either let the crud get too much of a toehold first or let ourselves get run down. Even then, it shortens the length of our colds, flu, or whatever by days. Expensive, but worth every penny. Vital to keep on hand during flu season!
5.0 - Miracle worker
This is the most wonderful stuff! Use it at the very first sign of a cold or flu & often you can stop it in it's tracks. Originally heard about it from a Barber friend and many of his customers & staff. I have also told many of my friends who now also swear by it. This Wellness Formula is amazing! Buying it online from Amazon.com let me buy more than twice the capsules for less than 1/2 the price of the local health food store!
5.0 - Take this at first signs of feeling run down from stress
I was recommended these many years ago by a health food store. Since then, I've even given them as Christmas gifts. My gifted friends and family swear by these, too. Whenever I start getting run down from my stress-filled job, I start taking them and then, when I feel better, I taper back off. They're the best for a flu or cold. Get them and try them. You won't regret it! Money well spent and best deals through Amazon.
5.0 - EXCELLENT EXCELLENT PRODUCT
This is a staple in my medicine chest. At the very first sign of a cold etc, I start taking these and they "nip it in the bud". I now have all three of our adult children asking for them when they start to get sick. It shortens the duration and the severity of a cold or flu.

Good stuff. Can't be without it during cold/flu season.

This wellness formula actually works and has rescued me from colds, aches and flu like symptoms. Also even after the onset of an imbalance, it still can speed up recovery to being in sync again..
5.0 - A miracle in a bottle if you take them at first hint of symptoms
This stuff is amazing. Any sign of a cold or flu and I start popping these like candy. 80% of the time they seem to have taken care of my symptoms so that I don't get a full onset of a cold or flu. Of course these aren't miracle pills. If you take advanced precautions like doubling your dosage of vitamin C and take these vitamins with plenty of water, rest and reduce stress levels - you will have a fighting chance. Highly recommend this formulation, my family swears by it.
5.0 - Been relying on Wellness for about 25 years now!
A friend recommended Wellness to me some 25 years ago. I have depended on it to keep me flu free, cold free, healthy in general, and it's a total success. I have gone through flu epidemics at work and I'm the one that doesn't catch it. I recommend Wellness every chance I get. It works for me.
5.0 - My Go To !
A friend turned me onto this product last winter when the flu was so bad, schools were closing and the death record from the flu was more than I'd ever heard of here in SE Oklahoma. I started taking this as the bottle suggested and I never got the flu. I take the maintenance dose of 1 a day now and I just got another bottle to keep me going thru the fall and winter. Let me add that I got sick with the flu, almost every year, have had pneumonia, and It worked for me! I did have my Dr. and pharmacist check that it was safe to take with my medications, and it was, in fact my Dr. said "all good stuff in here" :)
5.0 - i swear this stuff warded off the flu this winter- ...
i swear this stuff warded off the flu this winter- we were one of the only families at my kids preschool who didnt get hit hard
5.0 - Must have for every household
I recommend this product to everybody. It definitely reduces the symptoms of flu and colds.
5.0 - Works, and much cheaper than whole foods!
I have had a really terrible immune system in the past, and I normally get sick several times a cold/flu season, last year I was sick the ENTIRE month of December with a cold, then bronchitis, almost to the point of pneumonia. I started taking these because I have an in home child care now, and I really can't AFFORD to get sick. I cannot tell you how this nips the sickness right in the bud. I am so convinced that I have begun taking 2 tablets a day so I just don't even get the inkling of being sick. I begun having cold/flu symptoms last Friday, tired, achy, freezing cold and shivery, and I downed six of these. Within three hours I had terrible garlic breath, but lost the foggy, achy, chilled feeling and felt at 100%. I really believe these played a huge part in that. This is a great value, and less than half the price of Whole Foods. I subscribed so my husband can start taking them too. Excited about my new immune system!
5.0 - Five Stars
These are my wonder pills to fight colds and flu.
5.0 - Will always keep on hand
There's a lot I could go on about here, but in short, I was super super sick from something flu-like (but way worse than any flu I've had), possibly worsened by black mold discovered subsequently, and this stuff felt like the only thing that brought me back. During the worst times I would take the amount they tell you every two hours rather than three and that made a big difference too. I would recommend keeping this stuff on hand for any time you feel like you're coming down with something.
5.0 - Great immune system booster
I haven't gotten a flu shot in two years, and have not gotten sick (not even a cold) since I started taking these. I usually take 4 capsules per day, and 6-8 on rare occasions when I feel I'm getting sick. A 6 capsule dose packs a mega dose of Vitamin C along with herbs and minerals that boost the immune system. I always make sure that I have a spare bottle at home and at work. I also know that Source Naturals has a great reputation in the supplement industry. I know this stuff works!
5.0 - Great product. Using it to keep that flu at ...
Great product. Using it to keep that flu at bay....despite flu shots people seem to be affected.....so anything to boost up our immune system is a winner
5.0 - Works wonderfully
I’ve been using this for years now. I’m not a healthy person and my immune system is not existent by using this product. I have not gotten the flu in years, if I start to get it I take it as soon as I feel the onset and it’s gone. this is amazing stuff
5.0 - Fantastic Product!
Amazing product. I use it daily. Since I started using it, I've had no issues with colds or sickness. If I feel like something is coming on, I take the extreme dose and all is good. Great for flu season.
5.0 - WORKS!
I take about 3 capsules everyday. While others are getting sick, I stay well! (even when I'm exposed to sick people) No need for the flu shot!
5.0 - One of my go to supplements in the winter time ...
One of my go to supplements in the winter time for colds and fighting the flu. Contains elderberry extract which is essential in any wellness formula to battle viruses.
5.0 - Take to fend off flu/colds/viruses. I use it as ...
Take to fend off flu/colds/viruses. I use it as soon as I feel I'm coming down with something; every four hours, three caps.
5.0 - Seems to work great for me
I use this daily. When the flu and cold season comes. I increase it to 2-4 daily, to help ward off the dreaded flu and colds. Seems to work great for me.
5.0 - A must take every day
Can't live without my wellness formula. I've been taking it for over a year and I have cut down my sick time so significantly and quality of my life improved tremendously. I have a very low immune system and prone to just about any little weather change or hormonal imbalance and I catch colds, flu, sinus infections, chest infections - you name it! Wellness keeps me in check and in balance resulting in a great healthy body. I swear by it.
5.0 - Every time I feel I am getting sick, or ...
Every time I feel I am getting sick, or have already started, I take Wellness. It always stops it in its tracks 100% of the time. And this has been years now. 100% of the time!! I also take a maintenance dose when traveling or doing cold/flu season.
5.0 - Always works
After 2 years of taking this when needed, I can ward off sinus problems!! Further, I escape the flu and stomach bugs when they hit the workplace.
5.0 - Preventative health care
This product was recvommended to us by our older son. He and his friends have had great success using it to combat the affects of flu,colds,etc.
5.0 - The best cold season supplement
I buy this on a regular basis and always have an extra bottle in the house. This cuts a cold or even a flu in half for me.
5.0 - This is a great product!
Good brand. Great product. My naturopathic physician recommended this years ago - she was very quality aware and based her recommendations on both applied kinesiology and scientific research/evidence. We use it whenever we are beginning to feel under the weather or if we have been around others who have been sick. It is a great boost to your immune system. I have also seen it work wonders with people who were chronically sick (cold, flu, bronchitis, etc..... not other more serious conditions). My ND also recommended against using it a more than 1/2 of the days during any one year, so that it does not decrease it's effectiveness over time.
4.0 - When trying to avoid the bug going around, I take this.
A trusted friend recommended these to me during a flu outbreak last year. Whenever I feel as though I might be coming down with something or if my kids become sick and I want to avoid getting sick myself, I start taking this Wellness Formula immediately. You can take it daily if you like and just increase your dosage when you feel you need an immunity boost. I believe it works and will continue to use it.
5.0 - GREAT PRODUCT! Initially purchased at a local health food ...
GREAT PRODUCT! Initially purchased at a local health food store from an employee recommendation for cold/flu. Found it here on Amazon much cheaper. Always have some on hand.
5.0 - A Life Changer!
I haven't had my normal bronchitis since taking this supplement! Two-a-day does the trick, and double if I feel the start of symptoms. It is important to take it with food since it can cause some reflux.
5.0 - Amazing stuff!
I purchased this product because I was feeling the first signs of a cold or flu coming on. I didn't take it until the next morning when I really had developed symptoms and felt like crap (body aches, headache, painful coughs, weakness and dizziness.) I then started taking it as the directions suggest for "imbalance": 3 tablets every 3 hours. When I woke the second morning, instead of feeling even worse, like my typical colds, I actually felt better. If I had been taking this all along, I'm sure I wouldn't have gotten sick at all. This is a must for your medicine cabinet and preventative routine! Very effective even at healing/curing!
5.0 - This is the stuff that gets me through the winter ...
This is the stuff that gets me through the winter without getting run over by flu and cough and cold bugs ... a must in the apothecary!
4.0 - A nurse recommended this to me for sinus infections & I recommend ...
A nurse recommended this to me for sinus infections & I recommend all sick people try them for colds & flus:) the only thing that sucks is it say to take 6 every 3 hours & I have to swallow them one by one with lots of water to prevent yucky burps
5.0 - It works.
Always kept in the medicine cabinet. At the first sign of season colds/flu follow the directions as soon as possible. It works. Many persons keep a large jar at work as well.
5.0 - A great cold preventative
This product was introduced to me by my pastor's wife. She said to use it anytime you feel you could be getting sick. She takes it regularly during cold/flu season. I just use it when I get the sniffles. Works great to prevent colds and I'm sure it works on flu as well. If I get sick I am down for 3 weeks but now that I take Wellness Formula I rarely get a cold. The best price I have found has been Amazon.
5.0 - I started taking it in response to a weakened immune system and a bad head cold
I have used this product for a few years now (4) and would not want to be without it. I started taking it in response to a weakened immune system and a bad head cold.( a close friend recommended the product.) I followed the directions and took it 3 x a day (3 capsules at a time) Within 2 days, I was feeling significantly better and by the 3rd day I was completely well. I then started taking it to maintain a healthy immune system. (2 a day works well for me.) I have not been ill since I started taking this product 4 years ago. Because of my age (69) I do get an annual flu shot. I refuse to be without it. Works wonders for me.
5.0 - Continues too be useful.
I have been using this product for a number of years and while it doesn't cure flu or colds, it does seem to consistently decrease the length and depth of misery for me compared to not taking it at all. It seems to more effective if taken at the first sign of affliction. It lasts a long time since I only use it for the first few days when I'm coming down with something.
5.0 - Really love this product
Really love this product. A lot of trace minerals for healing. Works great. Capsules are easier to swallow. Will cont to use. Helped to relieve and shorten flue. GREAT PRODUCT THANKS
5.0 - Amazing boost for immunity
Amazing boost for immunity. Take at first sign of scratchy throat, active lymph glands or other signs of starting to fight a cold/flu. Usually symptoms just go away! Even when you think it's too late to reverse it, it has worked on numerous occasions. My patients and I both have the same experience. Take 1 per day in cold/flu season to avoid getting sick. Take with food to avoid irritating your stomach in the longterm--- has a lot of Vit C and garlic---strong, but potent and natural, and best of all, EFFECTIVE stuff!
5.0 - I swear by this stuff - always have a bottle on hand.
I am pretty convinced that this works - especially if I take it consistently for a few days at the very start of a cold. I didn't get sick for 5 years, possibly because I took a few tablets whenever I felt a cold coming on. Last spring I got the flu that was going around and I was horribly sick despite taking the tablets, but recovered fully in only three days. I used to take plain echinacea (for about 20 years) and Wellness Formula seems to be much more effective. Sure, might be a placebo effect, but I'm cool with that since I'm almost never sick!
5.0 - Works Great
Keeps colds and flu at bay.
4.0 - Worth getting over the smell/taste
I bought this at my local health food store to boost my immune system. Last week, my husband got the flu. He still has it lingering (so it's been about a week and a half). When I came down with it a few days after him, I started taking 3 capsules a night, and I got totally over the virus within 3 days of taking it (4 days total), less than half the time it took my husband. But it smells and tastes AWFUL.
5.0 - Take this and stay well!
This is my family’s “go to” when we are exposed to the flu and colds. If you take it at the first sign that you MIGHT be getting sick, it will help you fight it. Follow the directions and STAY WELL! Offices should carry this for anyone that wants to take it to avoid getting sick. It really works! I didn’t love the taste of the tablets and the capsules fixed that concern completely. Eat first and drink lots of water. Thank you for Wellness Formula!
5.0 - this thing works for me
I don't serious flu anymore. Don't know if it's the propolis or sambucus that is in here but this thing works better Tamiflu for me. The anti viral and anti biotic qualities of this supplement are incredible: works on ear infection, cuts, cold sores, pink eye, and obviously common cold and flue. Perhaps FDA needs to regulate this...
5.0 - Aptly Named Helps the Immune System
I've not gotten sick since I started using this, (4 a day), about 6 months ago. Got through the flu season and seem to be resistant to those bad 2 week colds that come around every now and then. I go to meetings and mingle with many people in small rooms about 4 times a week, so I am exposed to whatever is the illness du jour at the time.
5.0 - It works great a long time customer of this produce great for the flu and cold season
I have been using this produce for a couple year now and it getting hard to found since where I was buying closed. I am glad I found it on line. We are not down with the flu or colds since we been taking this.
5.0 - My flu preventative
This supplement is chock-full of really good immune boosters, like Elderberry, Echinacea, Garlic, Propolis, Olive Leaf, etc. If you take a multivitamin, I wouldn't while taking this supplement, this already contains a lot of vitamins (A, C, D-3, Zinc, Calcium, etc).
5.0 - Good Stuff
I will get a sinus infection at least 2 times a year, every year --guaranteed! My sicknesses last easily 2 months if not longer and everything my husband or son gets, I get. This Wellness Formula has been amazing for me this past winter (the winter that never ends); my husband caught the flu and was sick for a week, but I didn't get it. I did feel like I was fighting something, but never had any symptoms manifest. As soon as I start feeling a little off, I pop 6 of those suckers and I'm good to go.
5.0 - Five Stars
Very helpful in alleviating colds and flu
5.0 - Source Naturals Wellness Forumula - Say Goodbye to Colds and Flu
I have never been this impressed with a supplement before. Source Naturals Wellness Formula can be taken year round for general wellness but most take it during the cold and flu season. I took a chance on this after reading every single review I could find on it both on Amazon.com and elsewhere and I am so happy that I did. Both my wife and I swear by this stuff and since we started taking it roughly two years ago neither one of us have been sick with a cold or the flu. We have three kids and they are always bringing home "bugs" from school. On top of that my wife is an R.N. and she is around sick people all day. With Source Naturals Wellness Formula we worry less about getting sick. Is it possible to get the flu or a cold while taking this? I imagine so but we have yet to get sick since taking this product.
5.0 - Great !
I have never reviewed anything on amazon. I swear by this stuff. My immune system was shot several months ago. I have 5 kids and was constantly catching anything and everything they brought home. Someone recommended this and I started talking 1 tablet daily several months ago. This past month 5 people in my family got the flu and I was dreading what I thought was inevitable. It never happened. I felt a little worn down one night and was totally expecting to wake up feeling terrible. I took extra before bed and woke up feeling great. I never got sick. I definitely recommend it to everyone.
5.0 - This stuff is great for colds...
I used this product years ago and found if I felt a cold or flu coming on I would start taking it and found the symtomes were much less severe. I couln't find this in local stores, but l am glad I found it again....
5.0 - Wellness Formula is a great immune system booster!
I have put so many people onto this amazing supplement. I was first introduced to this supplement by a good friend whose husband had a bone marrow transplant and she wanted to make sure he was protected. She recommended that at the first sign of a cold, I take four capsules every four hours until symptoms subside. I did so when I felt a tickle in my throat and the onset of a cold coming on. This supplement knocked the cold out of my system before it took hold. A number of co-workers swear by the Wellness Formula now. Each capsule has 1300mg of Vit C, in addition to other herbal ingredients so it packs a punch. And the ingredients are water soluble so whatever your body doesn't use, gets flushed out. This can also be taken as a supplement every day for immune system reinforcement.
5.0 - Great Product! Worth every penny
This product works especially well when you have that slight tingle in your throat and it's probably going to turn into a full blown cold/flu...the bottle says to take 6 pills=one serving size. I really really do feel like it gets you out of the woods. It doesn't seem to work if you are already full blown sick. Every one of my family members uses this product..It's worth every penny...about $20 to be exact..they carry it at my local Sprouts.
5.0 - If you have reflux and can't sleep get these!
These came very highly recommended from a friend. They are great ! I'm now off my prescription drug and I feel great. I had been taking Protonix ( abbreviation) for over 10 years. I know these are much safer to take and healthier for me.
5.0 - My secretary takes 5 of these a day and has ...
My secretary takes 5 of these a day and has never been sick in about 5 years. I take sporadically and it helps reduce flu symptoms, but I need to take it daily.
5.0 - A pharmacist introduced me to this product.
I used to get colds and flu multiple times per year. I have fibromyalgia, which involves the immune system being low. In the three years I have been taking this, I haven't had a cold or the flu.
5.0 - This stuff really works!!
I am a fairly healthy person so when I suggested this to my husband who gets sick every cold and flu season at least twice, he thought it was just another one of my "healthy" ideas. Well it was but it worked!! He started taking it immediately when he started getting sick and for the first time in years he managed through last year's season without getting sick. Last week he started having some symptoms and failed to take Wellness Formula and ended up getting sick again. I just ordered another 240 capsules of the stuff. I think he learned his lesson.
5.0 - Good cold and flu defence.
I have used wellness formula for many years, and it has been very good in reducing the length of time of any call or flu symptoms that I have had.
4.0 - Good way to Support Immune System
I live in a harsh cold, dry climate 9 months out of the year, and when the flu hits the area, it is nasty and hard to get over. I started taking these wellness capsules once a day to maintain my immune system and then 3 times a day when I am starting to feel sick. I no longer am stuck on the couch for 3-4 days unable to move when the first wave of the flu season hits. These things are amazing, and much cheaper on Amazon then in my local health food store. Will continue to purchase through Amazon.
5.0 - Ward Off Colds and Flu
Order for my Mother, she loves this formula. She swears it helps ward off flu and colds and if by chance she feels like she may be getting something, says this supplement helps to knock it out quickly.
5.0 - Wellness Formula is my go to supplement
Great deal! Love this product and this seller made it easy. The Wellness Formula is the one supplement that has always helped me to not get sick or get well fast. A must for cold and flu season.
5.0 - I have fended off sore throats, colds and flu ...
I have fended off sore throats, colds and flu bu taking these at the onset. For me they are an addition to another vitamin regime that I am on, but when I start feeling something come on...I overdose on these and BAM***** Gone with the germs!
5.0 - Not a miracle drug, but darn close!
My go to pill whenever I do not feel great. If I feel any sickness coming on, mostly flu, cold, sore throat, allergies. I will amp up the amount of Wellness formula, instead of 2-4 pills a day, I take the recommended 6 pills every 3 hours and it knocks it right out. I usually end up with colds that last several weeks. I have always been like this since I can remember, I am 33 now. Since I discovered Wellness Formula my colds last no more than a day! I have turned several of my friends on to it as well. Almost half price on Amazon as opposed to locally!
5.0 - Five Stars
This supplements keeps my family healthy during the flu season!
5.0 - My best friend turned me onto this formula several years ago
My best friend turned me onto this formula several years ago. As soon as I feel any symptoms I use this and Bionic mouthwash (no longer available) and I never miss a beat. It's a must for cld and flu season.
5.0 - Five Stars
Best product for getting thru cold, flu's, etc and staying healthy.
5.0 - Five Stars
These are LIFE SAVERS during cold and flu season.
5.0 - It's a miracle and it truly works
I reach for this product immediately when I feel an imbalance, i.e., sore throat...headache. Whatever your symptoms, head for this product ASAP and it will make small tracks out of what could have been a giant. Best used only for times you have the start of cold or flu symptoms....it really works and I've never been let down in the many years I have used it.
5.0 - I love this
It is my go to when I need to fight off a cold or whatever bug may be around. It is so worth buying and has kept away the flu and other cold symptoms.
5.0 - My whole family uses this!
Wonderful stuff. I have my whole family on it specially during the flue season.
5.0 - Well now for 5 1/2 years.
After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, I was sick with bronchitis, sinusitis, walking pneumonia (requiring antibiotics), and finally, fluid behind the eardrum for over 3 months. I had to continue working since I was the Claims Officer for Keesler AFB and we had to investigate, process and approve hundreds of hurricane-related claims by servicemen. One of the sergeants from another base, recommended the Wellness Formula along with goldenseal. After recovering from the above ailments, I began taking the pills as directed. I take at least three per day and have not been ill for 5 1/2 years. Due to an old injury to my sinus wall, I used to get one or two sinus infections each year, but I have been symptom-free these many months. I have recommended it to friends and family with positive results. Along with the many herbs, the formula contains vitamin C, echinacea, and zinc. I highly recommend it to everyone.
5.0 - Fending off illness
I travel almost every week for work. Long international flights mean breathing recycled air for 12+ hours. I used to get sick every single time I flew those long flights (i.e. I was never truly healthy). But ever since a friend recommended Wellness Formula (and Wellness Fizz) I haven't had a single cold, flu, or illness. Since the Wellness Formula is the only thing I changed, I attribute my new found health to taking these wonder pills.
5.0 - best vitiman EVER!!!!!
My stomach is extremely sensitive to multi vitamins however I can wash a couple wellness formula capsules down with black coffee no problem! This is the best all around multi vitamin EVER!!! I take 1 every hour or so during flu season since 2010... I haven't been sick since!
5.0 - Great Stuff!
I swear by this stuff during cold and flu season! I take 2 a day and stay pretty healthy. If I do start to feel sick I bump them up to taking 8 total and that usually works and I feel better the next day.
5.0 - Always Liked "Wellness" and this was a good price.
We've taken Wellness for years and they really do seem to cut the time of a cold or flu... There are two "types" of the same formula, tablet and capsule. The tablet are more concentrated, the capsule is easier to take. As the number you take is different, and as the number of "pills" in the various size bottles is different, you may have to do some math to find the best deal... In any case, which ever you prefer, we think it's a good idea to get them before you need them, just in case you get caught in a group of coughers and sneezers...
5.0 - and my immunity isn't the best. Love this product
Haven't been sick in months since I started taking it! None of the family has! I was exposed to the flu and several viruses, and my immunity isn't the best. Love this product!
5.0 - A Great Product!
I've taken Wellness Formula over thirty years & will continue taking it as long as it's available. It has kept me from getting the flu and catching colds. A friend told me about it and I was skeptical when she told me the same thing... but, I swear by it!
5.0 - Can't be without this!
BEST product for warding off colds. Always good to have on hand during cold and flu season. Helps make the season merry!
5.0 - Simply Amazed by the effectiveness of this product
My husband and I use this product religiously whenever either of us feels even the slightest clue of impending illness. In fact since we started using this product a few years ago both of us have managed to avoid the cold and flu. However it does not help with allergies, I guess nothing's perfect, but this is pretty close. Keep up the good work and we'll keep buying more.
5.0 - It really works!!!
I rarely write reviews....this has worked for me twice during the horrible cold & flu season. Discovered it by random Chance. Started takin 6 pills twice/day when symptoms first surfaced & within a day I was cold free!!!! Everyone should have this on hand!
5.0 - Best Health Product Available
Better then a flu shot! This product really works. We take mega doses at the first sign of a weakened immune system. We take routinely as a support to the immune system and after one full year noticed a significant reduction in seasonal allergies, so much so that no treatment was needed. I recommend this product to everyone. You have to actually take it for it to work.
5.0 - Great product
Great product so far no flu or colds
5.0 - Five Stars
Cold/Flu Seasons Best Defense Ever
5.0 - I have not gotten sick yet
I never get a flu shot. I have Fibromyalgia and cancer. My husband has an auto immune disease. He doesn't get flu shots either. He volunteers at the Fire Dept and I volunteer at a nursing home, so we are around germs. This is my second bottle. We've made it thru flu and cold season. My husband did get sick but it was not nearly as severe as it could have been. I stared to get it, then took extra doses and I was better in two days. I will continue to take these as long as I'm living.
5.0 - This is probably the best product I have ever found that truly stands up ...
This is probably the best product I have ever found that truly stands up to what it promises. If I feel a little sluggish or think I am coming down with the flu or cold I increase the number I take and 1 or 2 days later I am well again. I love this product.
5.0 - these are my good to get better fast solution
Wellness Formula rocks! Whenever I start to feel a flu or cold hitting, I start taking these and typically within 12 hours have knocked it out of my system. Really nothing else like it. These have save me during finals, scuba trips, vacations and important business trips. I always add them to my travel bags and can't recommend them highly enough.
4.0 - Works, but the capsules give me heartburn.
I found this product initially at the local healthfood store after being sick on and off for a month and a half (our clients don't wash their hands.. yuck). It worked so well. I decided to see if I could find a better price online, and this is a great price. However.. the ones I got at the health food store were tablets, not capsules, and the dose was 3 instead of 6. Fine, I don't mind taking a bunch of capsules at once. However, about 75% of the time I take this stuff, it gives me pretty wicked heartburn for a solid hour or so. Major pain, but I'll take it over getting sick. It definitely keeps me from catching the colds and flus that are in constant rotation at my job.
5.0 - PERFECT!! I have Never had a product work ...
PERFECT!! I have Never had a product work in 24 hours before. It is RARE for it to take 48 hours. I don't know another product that will END flue, cold, etc. WITH SUCH SPEED!! And they advertise PLENTY (but you never see ads for WELLNESS, and IT does work!!)
5.0 - My Go To Immune Booster
I read about this product a year ago as a great way to avoid or shorten a cold. I was skeptical at first but I now know it really works. I have used this when I have felt a cold coming on ad managed to stop it on two separate occasions. I have also used this once when I had the flu and even though I still had flu symptoms they were a lot milder than usual. My only complaint is that the dosing is intense. They expect you to swallow 6 pills several times a day when you are sick or exposed to an illness! I usually take 6 or 12 (if I'm up for it) a day and I found even that makes a huge difference.
5.0 - Magic
Magic. This saves lives. Changes lives. Is life. Seriously. I hate getting sick and this prevents colds/flus, boosts my immune system and is the best thing since anything.
5.0 - Great to keep colds and the flu to a minimum!
I love to take these when I start not feeling quite right. If I can do this right away it can stop, or at least shorten the time I'm down sick with the flu or cold. These Source Natural Wellness Capsule go down so easy since they are capsules, and I make sure to keep drinking water or tea for a while after I take them since it seems to help it process and absorb better. There are no side effects that come with it as in other cold medications so you won't get drowsy. I definitely can recommend Source Wellness Capsules for a natural way to try to keep from getting sick.
5.0 - HEAD THE FLUE OFF AT THE PASS
THE MOMENT I START TO FEEL LIKE I AM COMING DOWN WITH THE FLUE OR A COLD (ITCHY THROAT, HEADACHE, MALAISE, ETC.) I START TAKING THE WELLNESS FORMULA BY SOURCE NATURALS. IT WORKS EVERY TIME. I START TAKING 2 TABLETS EVERY 4 HOURS, AND USUALLY I NEVER GET A FULL BLOWN CASE OF THE FLUE. MY FRIENDS, WHO DON'T TAKE WELLNESSS, WILL SUFFER FOR 4-6 DAYS WITH SYMTOMS, WHILE I AM OVER IT IN A DAY OR TWO! I'VE BEEN USING THIS PRODUCT SINCE THE MID EIGHTIES,TRY IT AND SEE FOR YOURSELF.
5.0 - It works
I've never really taken nutritional supplements but last year when I was suffering from a cold, I was introduced to the Wellness Formula and after taking it for two days, I recovered. I thought it was a fluke so the next time I had symptoms of a cold coming on, I bought it and tried it again and it worked. Now, whenever I have symptoms of getting ill, I take it prophylactically and I haven't suffered from a cold yet. I've told others about it and they state the same. I'm not sure what's in this stuff and how it works, but it works.
5.0 - Prevent sickness!
If I take 6 of these 3 to 4 times per day when I feel a cold or flu coming, it will fight it off!
5.0 - Works for me
I took the Wellness Formula for years and never got sick. I stopped taking it two years ago and started getting winter colds, a recurrence of allergies. Just started taking it again about 5 months ago and stayed well through the flu and cold season. Call it a placebo drug or what you will, I'll keep taking it.
5.0 - Great Suppliment Product for immune system
The is a great suppliment product to help strengthen your immune system & minimize cold and flu symptoms. I now take one daily as a vitamin suppliment and double-up when I feel my immune system getting week due to being exposed to others with colds and flu symptoms.
5.0 - I have used this product since 1999 and I still stand by it.
This product is my "go to" during winter months. I first learned of this product back in the 1990's when my mother was a pre school teacher. She swore by it after trying it for her first cold / flu season. I have since used this product as an immune defense / maintenance supplement. It has never failed. It works just as the instructions describe, and I have found that it will kill the length of a virus by half time. Meaning that if a cold usually takes 3-6 days to recover from symptoms; if you take wellness formula as directed during your imbalance, you will be clear nosed and snot free within 2-3 days.
5.0 - Great Product- but you must take it correctly
Years ago this was recommended to me by a coworker when I worked outside at a local market. I had a terrible cold and she suggested I go buy this. I have used it ever since (that was 1997). At the first sign of a cold of any kind or flu like feelings, I take the recommended amount (six capsules- 3 times a day for several days) and drink lots of water and try to get as much sleep as possible. I also take 2 capsules a day during the winter cold/flu months. While everyone else has a cold that lasts for weeks, mine is gone in days. Try this stuff! It has worked very well for me over the years.
5.0 - A product worth buying!
These are some great pills to have in your collection! We don't like to be without! Especially through flu season. We take 3 capsules daily when we are on a trip (to keep our immune system up) and when at home, we take 6 capsules AS SOON AS WE FEEL the slightest virus coming on, and it usually kicks it! If you don't catch it early enough, it won't do as much, but...you learn to be aware early!!! Do yourself a favor and buy these! This price is great, too! I was buying from our local health food store, but they have a hard time keeping it in stock (everyone wants it!) And these are bigger bottles! Bonus!
5.0 - Awesome Product
This is an AWESOME product. I swear by this product's ability to raise the immune system and keep colds and flu at bay. I wouldn't be without it.
5.0 - Five Stars
Great for prevention of flue and cold I keep it at home.
5.0 - Five Stars
I recommend to all my patients in cold and flu season!!
5.0 - No more miserable colds for our family!!
I used to get sick all the time. It was miserable, I was miserable & I was the one bringing the germs into the house & getting everyone else sick. I felt like a prisoner in my home every year during cold/flu season. I came across this product on Amazon & decided to give it a try & it has literally been life changing! The other reviewers detail how it's used so I won't reiterate that other then to say that I use a smaller dose as a preventative throughout the winter & then take the recommended dose when I feel a cold coming on. We keep a bottle in our cars, each bathroom, the kitchen, etc & I wish the kids could keep a bottle in their lockers at school! Thank you Source Naturals for this wonderful product. We have tried other products made by other companies but nothing compares to Wellness Formula.
5.0 - Awesome
I call these "Superman" tablets because they render me so much more invincible to colds/flu etc! Thanks for a great product!
5.0 - works miracles
I start taking this whenever I feel a cold or flu coming and I have not gotten sick in over 2 years! It is awesome.
5.0 - Good to take at the first sign of catching something.
A friend suggested these capsules, and every time I think I’m coming down with something, cold or sore throat, I start taking these and the next morning I feel fine. However, my husband and I both had the flu from a cruise we were on. High fevers and felt terrible. We started taking these but they didn’t work once we were already sick.
4.0 - This works great for me, but capules stick in my lower throat
I've used Wellness for years, and I swear by it. I like to joke that it is my placebo of choice. When I feel the first hint of something coming on, I start taking it. I can usually stop the cold or flu in its tracks.
5.0 - Five Stars
The best cure for the flu there is.
5.0 - Really works!!
This stuff is AMAZING despite what others are saying about it. I have been taking this stuff for years and yes the formula has slightly changed, but I have never gotten sick. I was recommended this stuff by a DO (Doctor of Osteopathic medicine). I work at a school were I am pretty much destined to get something especially around flu season. However, not this girl!!!
4.0 - Great Cure-All Product
I dealt with a cold for weeks and weeks on end and was sleeping, drinking fluids, etc. Nothing would stop it. I ordered this product after a suggestion from a friend and wala-gone. It's a natural way to end sickness and with all the nutrients, it'll help you knock out your sickness in no time.
5.0 - Prevents ommon cold/flu
I've used this product for years. When I take it at the first signs of imbalance, it usually prevents colds/flu, even when I have been heavily exposed to others who are sick. It seems to alkalize my system.
5.0 - Price I paid on Amazon was better then Vitacost
I've been taking this for about 4 years now. It is a MUST whenever I catch cold/flu or my immune system is low! Price I paid on Amazon was better then Vitacost.
5.0 - Keeps those bugs away...
i tried by recommendation of local health food store, I don't have greatest immune system and this kept away colds and flu for a year....miraculous. i take one every day, more if i'm feeling stressed or buggy. take on full stomach. Capsules best way to go, or kid chewables. ( smell/ taste is horrific)
5.0 - Proactive health solution to keep you away from the doctor
I don't take flu shots, I take Wellness Formula.
5.0 - Works Great For Me and High Quality Product
Been using and recommending this product for years to friends when they start to get sick, have everybody hooked during cold and flu season and as a preventive before traveling.
5.0 - Follow the directions on the bottle and you'll be set!
I've been using this stuff for a long time. If you start seeing early signs of a cold or flu, and you take 3 of these a few times a day, you'll be better by the next day. IT'S AMAZING! Follow the directions on the bottle!
4.0 - Good product, be careful with dosage
Good product in my opinion. No side effects or interactions but be careful with dosage. I followed the instructions and had no problems, but my sister tried these and had a slight rash on her skin. It's difficult to attribute it to use of Formula, since she was taking some other over the counter meds to treat her flu condition.
4.0 - Great formula to stay healthy
I take this product during the cold/flu season. If I start to feel sick I take a couple every 3-4 hours. It always helps me feel better. It contains all the best immune boosters.
5.0 - Miracle Pills
I swear by these vitamins! No need for the flu-shot when taking these regularly, they truly keep your immune system strong. My boyfriend was coming down with a cold and was experiencing flu like systems when I told him to go out and buy this product. He took 6 pills and was completely fine the next morning. I take 2 pills daily, and have not been sick yet - even when exposed to others who had the flu. Strongly recommend for warding off colds and flu!
5.0 - Fantastic Product
Started using this about 5 years ago when I came down with the flu. It worked fast without those over the counter side effects. I now take it once day for an immune booster and love it.. and this is a great price for what you're getting.
5.0 - Perfect for flu
Always a supply in our medicine inventory. Perfect for flu, colds, etc....is someone in the family has a cold, then others should take this product. It helps
5.0 - Smaller size, this stuff really works!
This stuff really works, and many of the ingredients have been shown to reduce both the severity and duration of the Flu, etc. Mind you, it doesn't CURE the Flu. But it always make me feel better, and I have taken it several times with what I thought were "pre-flu" symptom and they didn't develop into a full blown Flu attack. Works better than that "airborn" stuff.
5.0 - BEST IN CLASS
I recommend this product to any1 that loves to stay healthy!! Mom dad daughter son father cousin spouse lol EVERYONE!!!! I have bought this product for a couple years now and colds flu's and anything else cant stick around to save them lives lol. Overall very satisfied with this product!
5.0 - Works great
I've been taking one of these each morning, plus a package of Emergen-C and I've only been sick once in 4 years. I used to get a cold every year. I start taking them when it gets cold and everybody starts getting sick and quit in the spring when flu and cold season is over. Works great.
5.0 - A Must-Have For Flu Season
This has saved me from getting sick. Everytime I feel a little something coming on, I take the high-end dose 2-4 time at the rate recommended on the bottle, and have kept myself healthy even when many people close to me are sick. This has been a must have for me during this season. Keep it around and take it EARLY to KEEP from getting sick is the key.
5.0 - The BEST immune builder hands down
The BEST immune builder hands down! Been using this for years...at the very hint of a cold or flu..double the dosage and wham..GONE!
5.0 - Great weapon during cold and flu season
Don't go without this during cold and flu season. Great value. Get gel caps to mask potent favor.
5.0 - This stuff really works, either by the placebo effect ...
This stuff really works, either by the placebo effect or by its physical properties. I don't know which. If I take it according to the directions as soon as I have the first inkling of a cold or flu or when I am exposed to them, I don't get sick. Ever.
5.0 - Has made a big difference in winter colds
I've been using this product for many years as it seems like since childhood I was always the first person to catch every bug and the last one to get better. This has been one of the most effective things I have found to ramp up your immune system during cold and flu season. I do not take it all the time but keep it on hand at all times so that at the first sign of itchy throat or ookey feeling I can start taking it. Often, if I can get after it fast enough, it never develops into a full blown illness. If I do get sick, I believe this helps me fight it off a lot faster. If a family member comes down with cold or flu I always take it and oftentimes do not develop sickness. I did have sinus surgery awhile back and I think that helped a lot as far as getting sick all of the time but I have no doubt that I would be catching a lot more crud in the winter if not for this stuff. It has made a huge difference for me.
5.0 - Best Vitamin
I have been using Wellness Formula for well over a decade. It truly is the best vitamin I have found to either prevent me from getting sick when everyone around me has a cold, flu, etc, or to help me quickly recover when I've already gotten sick.

5.0 - BETTER THAN FLU SHOTS!
I've been using this product for almost a year and it has kept me from having colds or flu. I take a daily protective dose of 2 capsules. I use this in conjunction with Natural Factors Anti-V Formula, which I take as soon as I feel a cold coming on. Both are excellent natural products which I highly recommend.
4.0 - Heard from a friend this would ward off flu and ...
Heard from a friend this would ward off flu and colds. You need to take it before you are sick so I tried and it did help put one on delay.
4.0 - Wellness Formula Works
If you take the recommended dose Wellness Formula can stop a cold from developing or shorten the duration of an existing cold/flu.
5.0 - A must take every day
Can't live without my wellness formula. I've been taking it for over a year and I have cut down my sick time so significantly and quality of my life improved tremendously. I have a very low immune system and prone to just about any little weather change or hormonal imbalance and I catch colds, flu, sinus infections, chest infections - you name it! Wellness keeps me in check and in balance resulting in a great healthy body. I swear by it.
5.0 - GREAT PRODUCT! Initially purchased at a local health food ...
GREAT PRODUCT! Initially purchased at a local health food store from an employee recommendation for cold/flu. Found it here on Amazon much cheaper. Always have some on hand.
5.0 - Love it!!!
This has kept our entire family healthy since the first scares of swine flu- we all work in the service industry as well where sickness is everywhere. You feel a scratch in your throat and start taking a few more, you'll feel better by tomorrow! We swear by it!!
5.0 - Wellness Formula helped to prevent Flu
These really helped to fight off the flu virus...very nutritious...I recommend them.
5.0 - Start taking this the moment you feel a cold or ...
Start taking this the moment you feel a cold or flu coming on, and most of the time you won't get sick, even when the rest of the household does. Smells awful--make sure you get the caps and not the pills.
5.0 - This is the BEST stuff!
This is the BEST stuff!! If I feel a slight sore throat, cold, or flu coming on I take 3 tablets morning and evening. I've found it best to take a maintenance dose in the winter of 2 tablets once a day. It totally boosts my immune system so I rarely, if ever, get sick. I've recommended it to many people and they all have the same positive results. It's on my "Subscribe and Save" list as I can't live without it, and the Amazon price is the best!
5.0 - Pretty sure it works
For the past 4 years around the end of January and into February I would catch the latest variant of flu, cold, sniffles, chest cold or whatever happened to be floating by my terrible immune system. It seemed like it would start as allergies and then a virus would find me and send me off the edge. I would usually be home with a fever and feeling like death for 2 to 4 weeks. I tried Airborne and the like last year but it didn't do any good.
4.0 - Good product, be careful with dosage
Good product in my opinion. No side effects or interactions but be careful with dosage. I followed the instructions and had no problems, but my sister tried these and had a slight rash on her skin. It's difficult to attribute it to use of Formula, since she was taking some other over the counter meds to treat her flu condition.
4.0 - When trying to avoid the bug going around, I take this.
A trusted friend recommended these to me during a flu outbreak last year. Whenever I feel as though I might be coming down with something or if my kids become sick and I want to avoid getting sick myself, I start taking this Wellness Formula immediately. You can take it daily if you like and just increase your dosage when you feel you need an immunity boost. I believe it works and will continue to use it.
5.0 - Five Stars
A must have for every family during the cold and flu season!
5.0 - Great Deterrent for Cold/Flu Misery
Very helpful and easy to take, with the first sign of possible cold or flu - I take the recommended dose for several days and often do not come down with the threatened misery as I do when not taking it. During the cold/flu season, I take one a day - and have been for many years. I swear by this product. Best if taking it regularly on the smallest dose recommended, and immediately increase to the highest dose recommended when symptoms warn of oncoming sore throat, itching ears, aches and common cold and flu symptoms.
5.0 - Five Stars
Take this instead of getting a flu shot. When all my coworkers are sick I stay healthy.
5.0 - PERFECT!! I have Never had a product work ...
PERFECT!! I have Never had a product work in 24 hours before. It is RARE for it to take 48 hours. I don't know another product that will END flue, cold, etc. WITH SUCH SPEED!! And they advertise PLENTY (but you never see ads for WELLNESS, and IT does work!!)
5.0 - Can't say enough good about it!!
I've been using the Wellness Formula for years and it is the bomb - literally, to the evil germs. If you're illin, follow as directed, obviously get as much rest and fluids as you can, and watch the germs melt away like the Wicked Witch in the Wizard of Oz. (The one and only time it didn't do the job for me, it turned out I had a bacterial infection and needed antibiotics.) It's packed with vitamins, minerals, garlic, everything you could ever imagine to crush the hateful-ass germs -- I say that because before I started taking it, I took a fair amount of vitamins and herbs like Echinacea anyway, so any germ that could get through my well-barriered immune system would be a nasty one.
5.0 - It works for me
I have used this for many years in cold and flu season and I can feel the difference quickly when I feel symptoms. Use as directed. A lot to swallow, but effective.
5.0 - Works like magic.
Start this as soon as you find yourself thinking "I feel less than stellar; I wonder if I'm coming down with something?" It blasts everything from flu to strep throat right out of the arena. My husband and I swear by it. The only times it's failed to drive off whatever bug assails us is when we've either let the crud get too much of a toehold first or let ourselves get run down. Even then, it shortens the length of our colds, flu, or whatever by days. Expensive, but worth every penny. Vital to keep on hand during flu season!
5.0 - Miracle worker
This is the most wonderful stuff! Use it at the very first sign of a cold or flu & often you can stop it in it's tracks. Originally heard about it from a Barber friend and many of his customers & staff. I have also told many of my friends who now also swear by it. This Wellness Formula is amazing! Buying it online from Amazon.com let me buy more than twice the capsules for less than 1/2 the price of the local health food store!
5.0 - Take this at first signs of feeling run down from stress
I was recommended these many years ago by a health food store. Since then, I've even given them as Christmas gifts. My gifted friends and family swear by these, too. Whenever I start getting run down from my stress-filled job, I start taking them and then, when I feel better, I taper back off. They're the best for a flu or cold. Get them and try them. You won't regret it! Money well spent and best deals through Amazon.
5.0 - Smaller size, this stuff really works!
This stuff really works, and many of the ingredients have been shown to reduce both the severity and duration of the Flu, etc. Mind you, it doesn't CURE the Flu. But it always make me feel better, and I have taken it several times with what I thought were "pre-flu" symptom and they didn't develop into a full blown Flu attack. Works better than that "airborn" stuff.
5.0 - EXCELLENT EXCELLENT PRODUCT
This is a staple in my medicine chest. At the very first sign of a cold etc, I start taking these and they "nip it in the bud". I now have all three of our adult children asking for them when they start to get sick. It shortens the duration and the severity of a cold or flu.
5.0 - aches and flu like symptoms. Also even after the onset of an ...
This wellness formula actually works and has rescued me from colds, aches and flu like symptoms. Also even after the onset of an imbalance, it still can speed up recovery to being in sync again..
5.0 - A miracle in a bottle if you take them at first hint of symptoms
This stuff is amazing. Any sign of a cold or flu and I start popping these like candy. 80% of the time they seem to have taken care of my symptoms so that I don't get a full onset of a cold or flu. Of course these aren't miracle pills. If you take advanced precautions like doubling your dosage of vitamin C and take these vitamins with plenty of water, rest and reduce stress levels - you will have a fighting chance. Highly recommend this formulation, my family swears by it.
5.0 - Been relying on Wellness for about 25 years now!
A friend recommended Wellness to me some 25 years ago. I have depended on it to keep me flu free, cold free, healthy in general, and it's a total success. I have gone through flu epidemics at work and I'm the one that doesn't catch it. I recommend Wellness every chance I get. It works for me.
5.0 - My Go To !
A friend turned me onto this product last winter when the flu was so bad, schools were closing and the death record from the flu was more than I'd ever heard of here in SE Oklahoma. I started taking this as the bottle suggested and I never got the flu. I take the maintenance dose of 1 a day now and I just got another bottle to keep me going thru the fall and winter. Let me add that I got sick with the flu, almost every year, have had pneumonia, and It worked for me! I did have my Dr. and pharmacist check that it was safe to take with my medications, and it was, in fact my Dr. said "all good stuff in here" :)

i swear this stuff warded off the flu this winter- we were one of the only families at my kids preschool who didnt get hit hard
5.0 - Must have for every household
I recommend this product to everybody. It definitely reduces the symptoms of flu and colds.
5.0 - Works, and much cheaper than whole foods!
I have had a really terrible immune system in the past, and I normally get sick several times a cold/flu season, last year I was sick the ENTIRE month of December with a cold, then bronchitis, almost to the point of pneumonia. I started taking these because I have an in home child care now, and I really can't AFFORD to get sick. I cannot tell you how this nips the sickness right in the bud. I am so convinced that I have begun taking 2 tablets a day so I just don't even get the inkling of being sick. I begun having cold/flu symptoms last Friday, tired, achy, freezing cold and shivery, and I downed six of these. Within three hours I had terrible garlic breath, but lost the foggy, achy, chilled feeling and felt at 100%. I really believe these played a huge part in that. This is a great value, and less than half the price of Whole Foods. I subscribed so my husband can start taking them too. Excited about my new immune system!
5.0 - Five Stars
These are my wonder pills to fight colds and flu.
5.0 - Not a miracle drug, but darn close!
My go to pill whenever I do not feel great. If I feel any sickness coming on, mostly flu, cold, sore throat, allergies. I will amp up the amount of Wellness formula, instead of 2-4 pills a day, I take the recommended 6 pills every 3 hours and it knocks it right out. I usually end up with colds that last several weeks. I have always been like this since I can remember, I am 33 now. Since I discovered Wellness Formula my colds last no more than a day! I have turned several of my friends on to it as well. Almost half price on Amazon as opposed to locally!
4.0 - Worth getting over the smell/taste
I bought this at my local health food store to boost my immune system. Last week, my husband got the flu. He still has it lingering (so it's been about a week and a half). When I came down with it a few days after him, I started taking 3 capsules a night, and I got totally over the virus within 3 days of taking it (4 days total), less than half the time it took my husband. But it smells and tastes AWFUL.
5.0 - Amazing boost for immunity
Amazing boost for immunity. Take at first sign of scratchy throat, active lymph glands or other signs of starting to fight a cold/flu. Usually symptoms just go away! Even when you think it's too late to reverse it, it has worked on numerous occasions. My patients and I both have the same experience. Take 1 per day in cold/flu season to avoid getting sick. Take with food to avoid irritating your stomach in the longterm--- has a lot of Vit C and garlic---strong, but potent and natural, and best of all, EFFECTIVE stuff!
5.0 - Great immune system booster
I haven't gotten a flu shot in two years, and have not gotten sick (not even a cold) since I started taking these. I usually take 4 capsules per day, and 6-8 on rare occasions when I feel I'm getting sick. A 6 capsule dose packs a mega dose of Vitamin C along with herbs and minerals that boost the immune system. I always make sure that I have a spare bottle at home and at work. I also know that Source Naturals has a great reputation in the supplement industry. I know this stuff works!
5.0 - Great product. Using it to keep that flu at ...
Great product. Using it to keep that flu at bay....despite flu shots people seem to be affected.....so anything to boost up our immune system is a winner
5.0 - Works wonderfully
I’ve been using this for years now. I’m not a healthy person and my immune system is not existent by using this product. I have not gotten the flu in years, if I start to get it I take it as soon as I feel the onset and it’s gone. this is amazing stuff
5.0 - Fantastic Product!
Amazing product. I use it daily. Since I started using it, I've had no issues with colds or sickness. If I feel like something is coming on, I take the extreme dose and all is good. Great for flu season.
5.0 - A pharmacist introduced me to this product.
I used to get colds and flu multiple times per year. I have fibromyalgia, which involves the immune system being low. In the three years I have been taking this, I haven't had a cold or the flu.
5.0 - One of my go to supplements in the winter time ...
One of my go to supplements in the winter time for colds and fighting the flu. Contains elderberry extract which is essential in any wellness formula to battle viruses.
5.0 - Always works
After 2 years of taking this when needed, I can ward off sinus problems!! Further, I escape the flu and stomach bugs when they hit the workplace.
5.0 - Preventative health care
This product was recvommended to us by our older son. He and his friends have had great success using it to combat the affects of flu,colds,etc.
5.0 - Always Liked "Wellness" and this was a good price.
We've taken Wellness for years and they really do seem to cut the time of a cold or flu... There are two "types" of the same formula, tablet and capsule. The tablet are more concentrated, the capsule is easier to take. As the number you take is different, and as the number of "pills" in the various size bottles is different, you may have to do some math to find the best deal... In any case, which ever you prefer, we think it's a good idea to get them before you need them, just in case you get caught in a group of coughers and sneezers...
5.0 - A Life Changer!
I haven't had my normal bronchitis since taking this supplement! Two-a-day does the trick, and double if I feel the start of symptoms. It is important to take it with food since it can cause some reflux.
5.0 - Great !
I have never reviewed anything on amazon. I swear by this stuff. My immune system was shot several months ago. I have 5 kids and was constantly catching anything and everything they brought home. Someone recommended this and I started talking 1 tablet daily several months ago. This past month 5 people in my family got the flu and I was dreading what I thought was inevitable. It never happened. I felt a little worn down one night and was totally expecting to wake up feeling terrible. I took extra before bed and woke up feeling great. I never got sick. I definitely recommend it to everyone.
5.0 - Amazing stuff!
I purchased this product because I was feeling the first signs of a cold or flu coming on. I didn't take it until the next morning when I really had developed symptoms and felt like crap (body aches, headache, painful coughs, weakness and dizziness.) I then started taking it as the directions suggest for "imbalance": 3 tablets every 3 hours. When I woke the second morning, instead of feeling even worse, like my typical colds, I actually felt better. If I had been taking this all along, I'm sure I wouldn't have gotten sick at all. This is a must for your medicine cabinet and preventative routine! Very effective even at healing/curing!
5.0 - Great to keep colds and the flu to a minimum!
I love to take these when I start not feeling quite right. If I can do this right away it can stop, or at least shorten the time I'm down sick with the flu or cold. These Source Natural Wellness Capsule go down so easy since they are capsules, and I make sure to keep drinking water or tea for a while after I take them since it seems to help it process and absorb better. There are no side effects that come with it as in other cold medications so you won't get drowsy. I definitely can recommend Source Wellness Capsules for a natural way to try to keep from getting sick.
5.0 - This is the stuff that gets me through the winter ...
This is the stuff that gets me through the winter without getting run over by flu and cough and cold bugs ... a must in the apothecary!

5.0 - Five Stars
The best cure for the flu there is.
5.0 - A great cold preventative
This product was introduced to me by my pastor's wife. She said to use it anytime you feel you could be getting sick. She takes it regularly during cold/flu season. I just use it when I get the sniffles. Works great to prevent colds and I'm sure it works on flu as well. If I get sick I am down for 3 weeks but now that I take Wellness Formula I rarely get a cold. The best price I have found has been Amazon.
5.0 - I started taking it in response to a weakened immune system and a bad head cold
I have used this product for a few years now (4) and would not want to be without it. I started taking it in response to a weakened immune system and a bad head cold.( a close friend recommended the product.) I followed the directions and took it 3 x a day (3 capsules at a time) Within 2 days, I was feeling significantly better and by the 3rd day I was completely well. I then started taking it to maintain a healthy immune system. (2 a day works well for me.) I have not been ill since I started taking this product 4 years ago. Because of my age (69) I do get an annual flu shot. I refuse to be without it. Works wonders for me.
4.0 - This works great for me, but capules stick in my lower throat
I've used Wellness for years, and I swear by it. I like to joke that it is my placebo of choice. When I feel the first hint of something coming on, I start taking it. I can usually stop the cold or flu in its tracks.
5.0 - Continues too be useful.
I have been using this product for a number of years and while it doesn't cure flu or colds, it does seem to consistently decrease the length and depth of misery for me compared to not taking it at all. It seems to more effective if taken at the first sign of affliction. It lasts a long time since I only use it for the first few days when I'm coming down with something.
5.0 - Prevent sickness!
If I take 6 of these 3 to 4 times per day when I feel a cold or flu coming, it will fight it off!
5.0 - HEAD THE FLUE OFF AT THE PASS
THE MOMENT I START TO FEEL LIKE I AM COMING DOWN WITH THE FLUE OR A COLD (ITCHY THROAT, HEADACHE, MALAISE, ETC.) I START TAKING THE WELLNESS FORMULA BY SOURCE NATURALS. IT WORKS EVERY TIME. I START TAKING 2 TABLETS EVERY 4 HOURS, AND USUALLY I NEVER GET A FULL BLOWN CASE OF THE FLUE. MY FRIENDS, WHO DON'T TAKE WELLNESSS, WILL SUFFER FOR 4-6 DAYS WITH SYMTOMS, WHILE I AM OVER IT IN A DAY OR TWO! I'VE BEEN USING THIS PRODUCT SINCE THE MID EIGHTIES,TRY IT AND SEE FOR YOURSELF.
5.0 - Will always keep on hand
There's a lot I could go on about here, but in short, I was super super sick from something flu-like (but way worse than any flu I've had), possibly worsened by black mold discovered subsequently, and this stuff felt like the only thing that brought me back. During the worst times I would take the amount they tell you every two hours rather than three and that made a big difference too. I would recommend keeping this stuff on hand for any time you feel like you're coming down with something.
5.0 - Works Great
Keeps colds and flu at bay.
5.0 - If you are like me and follow the holistic path to wellness
If you are like me and follow the holistic path to wellness, then you need to incorporate this into your every day regimen, especially during the cold/flu season. I have been taking this for years and have not gotten sick. It is amazing.
5.0 - Take to fend off flu/colds/viruses. I use it as ...
Take to fend off flu/colds/viruses. I use it as soon as I feel I'm coming down with something; every four hours, three caps.
5.0 - Take this and stay well!
This is my family’s “go to” when we are exposed to the flu and colds. If you take it at the first sign that you MIGHT be getting sick, it will help you fight it. Follow the directions and STAY WELL! Offices should carry this for anyone that wants to take it to avoid getting sick. It really works! I didn’t love the taste of the tablets and the capsules fixed that concern completely. Eat first and drink lots of water. Thank you for Wellness Formula!
5.0 - Prevents ommon cold/flu
I've used this product for years. When I take it at the first signs of imbalance, it usually prevents colds/flu, even when I have been heavily exposed to others who are sick. It seems to alkalize my system.
5.0 - this thing works for me
I don't serious flu anymore. Don't know if it's the propolis or sambucus that is in here but this thing works better Tamiflu for me. The anti viral and anti biotic qualities of this supplement are incredible: works on ear infection, cuts, cold sores, pink eye, and obviously common cold and flue. Perhaps FDA needs to regulate this...
5.0 - Five Stars
Good stuff. Can't be without it during cold/flu season.
5.0 - Good Stuff
I will get a sinus infection at least 2 times a year, every year --guaranteed! My sicknesses last easily 2 months if not longer and everything my husband or son gets, I get. This Wellness Formula has been amazing for me this past winter (the winter that never ends); my husband caught the flu and was sick for a week, but I didn't get it. I did feel like I was fighting something, but never had any symptoms manifest. As soon as I start feeling a little off, I pop 6 of those suckers and I'm good to go.
5.0 - Five Stars
Very helpful in alleviating colds and flu
5.0 - Source Naturals Wellness Forumula - Say Goodbye to Colds and Flu
I have never been this impressed with a supplement before. Source Naturals Wellness Formula can be taken year round for general wellness but most take it during the cold and flu season. I took a chance on this after reading every single review I could find on it both on Amazon.com and elsewhere and I am so happy that I did. Both my wife and I swear by this stuff and since we started taking it roughly two years ago neither one of us have been sick with a cold or the flu. We have three kids and they are always bringing home "bugs" from school. On top of that my wife is an R.N. and she is around sick people all day. With Source Naturals Wellness Formula we worry less about getting sick. Is it possible to get the flu or a cold while taking this? I imagine so but we have yet to get sick since taking this product.
5.0 - Proactive health solution to keep you away from the doctor
I don't take flu shots, I take Wellness Formula.
5.0 - Wellness Formula is a great immune system booster!
I have put so many people onto this amazing supplement. I was first introduced to this supplement by a good friend whose husband had a bone marrow transplant and she wanted to make sure he was protected. She recommended that at the first sign of a cold, I take four capsules every four hours until symptoms subside. I did so when I felt a tickle in my throat and the onset of a cold coming on. This supplement knocked the cold out of my system before it took hold. A number of co-workers swear by the Wellness Formula now. Each capsule has 1300mg of Vit C, in addition to other herbal ingredients so it packs a punch. And the ingredients are water soluble so whatever your body doesn't use, gets flushed out. This can also be taken as a supplement every day for immune system reinforcement.
5.0 - Great Product! Worth every penny
This product works especially well when you have that slight tingle in your throat and it's probably going to turn into a full blown cold/flu...the bottle says to take 6 pills=one serving size. I really really do feel like it gets you out of the woods. It doesn't seem to work if you are already full blown sick. Every one of my family members uses this product..It's worth every penny...about $20 to be exact..they carry it at my local Sprouts.
5.0 - If you have reflux and can't sleep get these!
These came very highly recommended from a friend. They are great ! I'm now off my prescription drug and I feel great. I had been taking Protonix ( abbreviation) for over 10 years. I know these are much safer to take and healthier for me.
5.0 - My secretary takes 5 of these a day and has ...
My secretary takes 5 of these a day and has never been sick in about 5 years. I take sporadically and it helps reduce flu symptoms, but I need to take it daily.
5.0 - WORKS!
I take about 3 capsules everyday. While others are getting sick, I stay well! (even when I'm exposed to sick people) No need for the flu shot!
5.0 - This stuff really works!!
I am a fairly healthy person so when I suggested this to my husband who gets sick every cold and flu season at least twice, he thought it was just another one of my "healthy" ideas. Well it was but it worked!! He started taking it immediately when he started getting sick and for the first time in years he managed through last year's season without getting sick. Last week he started having some symptoms and failed to take Wellness Formula and ended up getting sick again. I just ordered another 240 capsules of the stuff. I think he learned his lesson.
5.0 - Really love this product
Really love this product. A lot of trace minerals for healing. Works great. Capsules are easier to swallow. Will cont to use. Helped to relieve and shorten flue. GREAT PRODUCT THANKS
5.0 - Good cold and flu defence.
I have used wellness formula for many years, and it has been very good in reducing the length of time of any call or flu symptoms that I have had.
4.0 - Good way to Support Immune System
I live in a harsh cold, dry climate 9 months out of the year, and when the flu hits the area, it is nasty and hard to get over. I started taking these wellness capsules once a day to maintain my immune system and then 3 times a day when I am starting to feel sick. I no longer am stuck on the couch for 3-4 days unable to move when the first wave of the flu season hits. These things are amazing, and much cheaper on Amazon then in my local health food store. Will continue to purchase through Amazon.
5.0 - Ward Off Colds and Flu
Order for my Mother, she loves this formula. She swears it helps ward off flu and colds and if by chance she feels like she may be getting something, says this supplement helps to knock it out quickly.
5.0 - Wellness Formula is my go to supplement
Great deal! Love this product and this seller made it easy. The Wellness Formula is the one supplement that has always helped me to not get sick or get well fast. A must for cold and flu season.

5.0 - My best friend turned me onto this formula several years ago
My best friend turned me onto this formula several years ago. As soon as I feel any symptoms I use this and Bionic mouthwash (no longer available) and I never miss a beat. It's a must for cld and flu season.
5.0 - Five Stars
Best product for getting thru cold, flu's, etc and staying healthy.
5.0 - Aptly Named Helps the Immune System
I've not gotten sick since I started using this, (4 a day), about 6 months ago. Got through the flu season and seem to be resistant to those bad 2 week colds that come around every now and then. I go to meetings and mingle with many people in small rooms about 4 times a week, so I am exposed to whatever is the illness du jour at the time.
5.0 - Five Stars
These are LIFE SAVERS during cold and flu season.
5.0 - It's a miracle and it truly works
I reach for this product immediately when I feel an imbalance, i.e., sore throat...headache. Whatever your symptoms, head for this product ASAP and it will make small tracks out of what could have been a giant. Best used only for times you have the start of cold or flu symptoms....it really works and I've never been let down in the many years I have used it.
5.0 - Works great
I've been taking one of these each morning, plus a package of Emergen-C and I've only been sick once in 4 years. I used to get a cold every year. I start taking them when it gets cold and everybody starts getting sick and quit in the spring when flu and cold season is over. Works great.
5.0 - I love this
It is my go to when I need to fight off a cold or whatever bug may be around. It is so worth buying and has kept away the flu and other cold symptoms.
5.0 - My whole family uses this!
Wonderful stuff. I have my whole family on it specially during the flue season.
5.0 - It works great a long time customer of this produce great for the flu and cold season
I have been using this produce for a couple year now and it getting hard to found since where I was buying closed. I am glad I found it on line. We are not down with the flu or colds since we been taking this.
5.0 - Well now for 5 1/2 years.
After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, I was sick with bronchitis, sinusitis, walking pneumonia (requiring antibiotics), and finally, fluid behind the eardrum for over 3 months. I had to continue working since I was the Claims Officer for Keesler AFB and we had to investigate, process and approve hundreds of hurricane-related claims by servicemen. One of the sergeants from another base, recommended the Wellness Formula along with goldenseal. After recovering from the above ailments, I began taking the pills as directed. I take at least three per day and have not been ill for 5 1/2 years. Due to an old injury to my sinus wall, I used to get one or two sinus infections each year, but I have been symptom-free these many months. I have recommended it to friends and family with positive results. Along with the many herbs, the formula contains vitamin C, echinacea, and zinc. I highly recommend it to everyone.
5.0 - Fending off illness
I travel almost every week for work. Long international flights mean breathing recycled air for 12+ hours. I used to get sick every single time I flew those long flights (i.e. I was never truly healthy). But ever since a friend recommended Wellness Formula (and Wellness Fizz) I haven't had a single cold, flu, or illness. Since the Wellness Formula is the only thing I changed, I attribute my new found health to taking these wonder pills.
5.0 - Every time I feel I am getting sick, or ...
Every time I feel I am getting sick, or have already started, I take Wellness. It always stops it in its tracks 100% of the time. And this has been years now. 100% of the time!! I also take a maintenance dose when traveling or doing cold/flu season.
5.0 - best vitiman EVER!!!!!
My stomach is extremely sensitive to multi vitamins however I can wash a couple wellness formula capsules down with black coffee no problem! This is the best all around multi vitamin EVER!!! I take 1 every hour or so during flu season since 2010... I haven't been sick since!
5.0 - Great Stuff!
I swear by this stuff during cold and flu season! I take 2 a day and stay pretty healthy. If I do start to feel sick I bump them up to taking 8 total and that usually works and I feel better the next day.
5.0 - and my immunity isn't the best. Love this product
Haven't been sick in months since I started taking it! None of the family has! I was exposed to the flu and several viruses, and my immunity isn't the best. Love this product!
5.0 - Simply Amazed by the effectiveness of this product
My husband and I use this product religiously whenever either of us feels even the slightest clue of impending illness. In fact since we started using this product a few years ago both of us have managed to avoid the cold and flu. However it does not help with allergies, I guess nothing's perfect, but this is pretty close. Keep up the good work and we'll keep buying more.
5.0 - It really works!!!
I rarely write reviews....this has worked for me twice during the horrible cold & flu season. Discovered it by random Chance. Started takin 6 pills twice/day when symptoms first surfaced & within a day I was cold free!!!! Everyone should have this on hand!
5.0 - Best Health Product Available
Better then a flu shot! This product really works. We take mega doses at the first sign of a weakened immune system. We take routinely as a support to the immune system and after one full year noticed a significant reduction in seasonal allergies, so much so that no treatment was needed. I recommend this product to everyone. You have to actually take it for it to work.
5.0 - Great Suppliment Product for immune system
The is a great suppliment product to help strengthen your immune system & minimize cold and flu symptoms. I now take one daily as a vitamin suppliment and double-up when I feel my immune system getting week due to being exposed to others with colds and flu symptoms.
5.0 - Great product
Great product so far no flu or colds

Cold/Flu Seasons Best Defense Ever
5.0 - I have not gotten sick yet
I never get a flu shot. I have Fibromyalgia and cancer. My husband has an auto immune disease. He doesn't get flu shots either. He volunteers at the Fire Dept and I volunteer at a nursing home, so we are around germs. This is my second bottle. We've made it thru flu and cold season. My husband did get sick but it was not nearly as severe as it could have been. I stared to get it, then took extra doses and I was better in two days. I will continue to take these as long as I'm living.
5.0 - Keeps those bugs away...
i tried by recommendation of local health food store, I don't have greatest immune system and this kept away colds and flu for a year....miraculous. i take one every day, more if i'm feeling stressed or buggy. take on full stomach. Capsules best way to go, or kid chewables. ( smell/ taste is horrific)
5.0 - In my opinion.
This product has kept me free from colds and flu now for 2 years. I don't get a flu shot because I don't need one with this product. I take 3 tablets daily as a maintenance dose. It is a great product.
5.0 - This is probably the best product I have ever found that truly stands up ...
This is probably the best product I have ever found that truly stands up to what it promises. If I feel a little sluggish or think I am coming down with the flu or cold I increase the number I take and 1 or 2 days later I am well again. I love this product.
5.0 - these are my good to get better fast solution
Wellness Formula rocks! Whenever I start to feel a flu or cold hitting, I start taking these and typically within 12 hours have knocked it out of my system. Really nothing else like it. These have save me during finals, scuba trips, vacations and important business trips. I always add them to my travel bags and can't recommend them highly enough.
4.0 - Works, but the capsules give me heartburn.
I found this product initially at the local healthfood store after being sick on and off for a month and a half (our clients don't wash their hands.. yuck). It worked so well. I decided to see if I could find a better price online, and this is a great price. However.. the ones I got at the health food store were tablets, not capsules, and the dose was 3 instead of 6. Fine, I don't mind taking a bunch of capsules at once. However, about 75% of the time I take this stuff, it gives me pretty wicked heartburn for a solid hour or so. Major pain, but I'll take it over getting sick. It definitely keeps me from catching the colds and flus that are in constant rotation at my job.
5.0 - My Go To Immune Booster
I read about this product a year ago as a great way to avoid or shorten a cold. I was skeptical at first but I now know it really works. I have used this when I have felt a cold coming on ad managed to stop it on two separate occasions. I have also used this once when I had the flu and even though I still had flu symptoms they were a lot milder than usual. My only complaint is that the dosing is intense. They expect you to swallow 6 pills several times a day when you are sick or exposed to an illness! I usually take 6 or 12 (if I'm up for it) a day and I found even that makes a huge difference.
5.0 - Seems to work great for me
I use this daily. When the flu and cold season comes. I increase it to 2-4 daily, to help ward off the dreaded flu and colds. Seems to work great for me.
5.0 - This is a great product!
Good brand. Great product. My naturopathic physician recommended this years ago - she was very quality aware and based her recommendations on both applied kinesiology and scientific research/evidence. We use it whenever we are beginning to feel under the weather or if we have been around others who have been sick. It is a great boost to your immune system. I have also seen it work wonders with people who were chronically sick (cold, flu, bronchitis, etc..... not other more serious conditions). My ND also recommended against using it a more than 1/2 of the days during any one year, so that it does not decrease it's effectiveness over time.
5.0 - Immune system builder that works.
Wellness formula really works. My wife's mother was real susceptible to colds, flu and pneumonia so I got her to start taking these and she had not more problems. Her other daughter who is a nurse said to take another vitamin and she go sick and pneumonia within about 4 months. My wife was the director of a medical lab and her mom's immune system was terrible until she started on the Wellness formula. Within 2 months is showed improvement and she did not get sick anymore at all until her other daughter took her off it. When she recovered from her pneumonia my wife got her back on the wellness formula and .she has had no colds, flu or pneumonia since and she will shortly be 85 years old and her immune system according to her lab work again shows improvement.
5.0 - It works
I've never really taken nutritional supplements but last year when I was suffering from a cold, I was introduced to the Wellness Formula and after taking it for two days, I recovered. I thought it was a fluke so the next time I had symptoms of a cold coming on, I bought it and tried it again and it worked. Now, whenever I have symptoms of getting ill, I take it prophylactically and I haven't suffered from a cold yet. I've told others about it and they state the same. I'm not sure what's in this stuff and how it works, but it works.
5.0 - Works for me
I took the Wellness Formula for years and never got sick. I stopped taking it two years ago and started getting winter colds, a recurrence of allergies. Just started taking it again about 5 months ago and stayed well through the flu and cold season. Call it a placebo drug or what you will, I'll keep taking it.
5.0 - I have used this product since 1999 and I still stand by it.
This product is my "go to" during winter months. I first learned of this product back in the 1990's when my mother was a pre school teacher. She swore by it after trying it for her first cold / flu season. I have since used this product as an immune defense / maintenance supplement. It has never failed. It works just as the instructions describe, and I have found that it will kill the length of a virus by half time. Meaning that if a cold usually takes 3-6 days to recover from symptoms; if you take wellness formula as directed during your imbalance, you will be clear nosed and snot free within 2-3 days.
5.0 - Great Product- but you must take it correctly
Years ago this was recommended to me by a coworker when I worked outside at a local market. I had a terrible cold and she suggested I go buy this. I have used it ever since (that was 1997). At the first sign of a cold of any kind or flu like feelings, I take the recommended amount (six capsules- 3 times a day for several days) and drink lots of water and try to get as much sleep as possible. I also take 2 capsules a day during the winter cold/flu months. While everyone else has a cold that lasts for weeks, mine is gone in days. Try this stuff! It has worked very well for me over the years.
5.0 - A product worth buying!
These are some great pills to have in your collection! We don't like to be without! Especially through flu season. We take 3 capsules daily when we are on a trip (to keep our immune system up) and when at home, we take 6 capsules AS SOON AS WE FEEL the slightest virus coming on, and it usually kicks it! If you don't catch it early enough, it won't do as much, but...you learn to be aware early!!! Do yourself a favor and buy these! This price is great, too! I was buying from our local health food store, but they have a hard time keeping it in stock (everyone wants it!) And these are bigger bottles! Bonus!
5.0 - This stuff is great for colds...
I used this product years ago and found if I felt a cold or flu coming on I would start taking it and found the symtomes were much less severe. I couln't find this in local stores, but l am glad I found it again....
5.0 - Awesome Product
This is an AWESOME product. I swear by this product's ability to raise the immune system and keep colds and flu at bay. I wouldn't be without it.

A nurse recommended this to me for sinus infections & I recommend all sick people try them for colds & flus:) the only thing that sucks is it say to take 6 every 3 hours & I have to swallow them one by one with lots of water to prevent yucky burps
5.0 - No more miserable colds for our family!!
I used to get sick all the time. It was miserable, I was miserable & I was the one bringing the germs into the house & getting everyone else sick. I felt like a prisoner in my home every year during cold/flu season. I came across this product on Amazon & decided to give it a try & it has literally been life changing! The other reviewers detail how it's used so I won't reiterate that other then to say that I use a smaller dose as a preventative throughout the winter & then take the recommended dose when I feel a cold coming on. We keep a bottle in our cars, each bathroom, the kitchen, etc & I wish the kids could keep a bottle in their lockers at school! Thank you Source Naturals for this wonderful product. We have tried other products made by other companies but nothing compares to Wellness Formula.
5.0 - Awesome
I call these "Superman" tablets because they render me so much more invincible to colds/flu etc! Thanks for a great product!
5.0 - works miracles
I start taking this whenever I feel a cold or flu coming and I have not gotten sick in over 2 years! It is awesome.
5.0 - It works.
Always kept in the medicine cabinet. At the first sign of season colds/flu follow the directions as soon as possible. It works. Many persons keep a large jar at work as well.
5.0 - Good to take at the first sign of catching something.
A friend suggested these capsules, and every time I think I’m coming down with something, cold or sore throat, I start taking these and the next morning I feel fine. However, my husband and I both had the flu from a cruise we were on. High fevers and felt terrible. We started taking these but they didn’t work once we were already sick.
5.0 - Miracle Pills
I swear by these vitamins! No need for the flu-shot when taking these regularly, they truly keep your immune system strong. My boyfriend was coming down with a cold and was experiencing flu like systems when I told him to go out and buy this product. He took 6 pills and was completely fine the next morning. I take 2 pills daily, and have not been sick yet - even when exposed to others who had the flu. Strongly recommend for warding off colds and flu!
4.0 - Great Cure-All Product
I dealt with a cold for weeks and weeks on end and was sleeping, drinking fluids, etc. Nothing would stop it. I ordered this product after a suggestion from a friend and wala-gone. It's a natural way to end sickness and with all the nutrients, it'll help you knock out your sickness in no time.
5.0 - My flu preventative
This supplement is chock-full of really good immune boosters, like Elderberry, Echinacea, Garlic, Propolis, Olive Leaf, etc. If you take a multivitamin, I wouldn't while taking this supplement, this already contains a lot of vitamins (A, C, D-3, Zinc, Calcium, etc).
5.0 - I won't go through a cold/flu season without it.
This stuff is awesome! Any time I feel my immune system falter, I start on this and I don't come down with a bug. I won't go through a cold/flu season with out it!
5.0 - Works Great For Me and High Quality Product
Been using and recommending this product for years to friends when they start to get sick, have everybody hooked during cold and flu season and as a preventive before traveling.
5.0 - Follow the directions on the bottle and you'll be set!
I've been using this stuff for a long time. If you start seeing early signs of a cold or flu, and you take 3 of these a few times a day, you'll be better by the next day. IT'S AMAZING! Follow the directions on the bottle!
4.0 - Great formula to stay healthy
I take this product during the cold/flu season. If I start to feel sick I take a couple every 3-4 hours. It always helps me feel better. It contains all the best immune boosters.
5.0 - Fantastic Product
Started using this about 5 years ago when I came down with the flu. It worked fast without those over the counter side effects. I now take it once day for an immune booster and love it.. and this is a great price for what you're getting.
5.0 - The best cold season supplement
I buy this on a regular basis and always have an extra bottle in the house. This cuts a cold or even a flu in half for me.
5.0 - Perfect for flu
Always a supply in our medicine inventory. Perfect for flu, colds, etc....is someone in the family has a cold, then others should take this product. It helps
5.0 - BEST IN CLASS
I recommend this product to any1 that loves to stay healthy!! Mom dad daughter son father cousin spouse lol EVERYONE!!!! I have bought this product for a couple years now and colds flu's and anything else cant stick around to save them lives lol. Overall very satisfied with this product!
5.0 - Really works!!
This stuff is AMAZING despite what others are saying about it. I have been taking this stuff for years and yes the formula has slightly changed, but I have never gotten sick. I was recommended this stuff by a DO (Doctor of Osteopathic medicine). I work at a school were I am pretty much destined to get something especially around flu season. However, not this girl!!!
5.0 - Magic
Magic. This saves lives. Changes lives. Is life. Seriously. I hate getting sick and this prevents colds/flus, boosts my immune system and is the best thing since anything.
5.0 - A Great Product!
I've taken Wellness Formula over thirty years & will continue taking it as long as it's available. It has kept me from getting the flu and catching colds. A friend told me about it and I was skeptical when she told me the same thing... but, I swear by it!
5.0 - I swear by this stuff - always have a bottle on hand.
I am pretty convinced that this works - especially if I take it consistently for a few days at the very start of a cold. I didn't get sick for 5 years, possibly because I took a few tablets whenever I felt a cold coming on. Last spring I got the flu that was going around and I was horribly sick despite taking the tablets, but recovered fully in only three days. I used to take plain echinacea (for about 20 years) and Wellness Formula seems to be much more effective. Sure, might be a placebo effect, but I'm cool with that since I'm almost never sick!
5.0 - A Must-Have For Flu Season
This has saved me from getting sick. Everytime I feel a little something coming on, I take the high-end dose 2-4 time at the rate recommended on the bottle, and have kept myself healthy even when many people close to me are sick. This has been a must have for me during this season. Keep it around and take it EARLY to KEEP from getting sick is the key.
5.0 - Can't be without this!
BEST product for warding off colds. Always good to have on hand during cold and flu season. Helps make the season merry!
5.0 - The BEST immune builder hands down
The BEST immune builder hands down! Been using this for years...at the very hint of a cold or flu..double the dosage and wham..GONE!
5.0 - Great weapon during cold and flu season
Don't go without this during cold and flu season. Great value. Get gel caps to mask potent favor.
5.0 - This stuff really works, either by the placebo effect ...
This stuff really works, either by the placebo effect or by its physical properties. I don't know which. If I take it according to the directions as soon as I have the first inkling of a cold or flu or when I am exposed to them, I don't get sick. Ever.
5.0 - Price I paid on Amazon was better then Vitacost
I've been taking this for about 4 years now. It is a MUST whenever I catch cold/flu or my immune system is low! Price I paid on Amazon was better then Vitacost.
5.0 - Has made a big difference in winter colds
I've been using this product for many years as it seems like since childhood I was always the first person to catch every bug and the last one to get better. This has been one of the most effective things I have found to ramp up your immune system during cold and flu season. I do not take it all the time but keep it on hand at all times so that at the first sign of itchy throat or ookey feeling I can start taking it. Often, if I can get after it fast enough, it never develops into a full blown illness. If I do get sick, I believe this helps me fight it off a lot faster. If a family member comes down with cold or flu I always take it and oftentimes do not develop sickness. I did have sinus surgery awhile back and I think that helped a lot as far as getting sick all of the time but I have no doubt that I would be catching a lot more crud in the winter if not for this stuff. It has made a huge difference for me.
5.0 - Best Vitamin
I have been using Wellness Formula for well over a decade. It truly is the best vitamin I have found to either prevent me from getting sick when everyone around me has a cold, flu, etc, or to help me quickly recover when I've already gotten sick.

5.0 - Elderberry syrup was recommended by the urgent care I visited for flu symptoms
Elderberry syrup was recommended by the urgent care I visited for flu symptoms. I keep it on hand year round.
5.0 - Love this product!
Has already helped me avoid one cold, and shortened the duration of one I wasn't able to completely avoid. I normally get colds that last for 2-3 weeks with a horrible barking cough, but taking this has made a huge difference. I had a cold this past week, took this twice a day, and it was basically gone within 5 days with no chronic cough. I've also been giving it to my daughter to support her immune health, and to help support us both through this cold/flu season.
5.0 - Must have to keep illnesses away!
We prefer the gummies. This stuff taste pretty awful. I'm sure it works the same. It's a must have during cold/flu season.
5.0 - Boosts immunity and our saviour
We have been using this syrup for my little one ever since she was 15 months old and now one year later, I know for sure that she has shown improved immunity and doesn't fall sick with viral fevers as often as she used to in the past flu season. When she does fall I'll, she has been able to bounce back faster.
5.0 - Keto-approved! It works and no extra carbs!
I love this stuff. As a pediatric nurse, I take numerous measures to make sure I stay well and don’t bring any illnesses to my patients. One of those measures is a daily dose of high dose elderberry. I used to take Sambucus Immune, but I’ve recently started the keto diet and that particular liquid formula has 8 carbs per serving, so it’s a no go for me (but my daughter stays well on it)! This product is the highest strength I’ve found available in capsule form. I’ve been taking this product over 30 days and during that time, I’ve been in close quarters with several people with viruses like norovirus (stomach flu) and only once did I feel just a little queasy for one afternoon. I took a double dose that night and the next morning I felt at 100%. After that, I go ahead and double up when I’m knowingly around someone sick. Ultimately, I’m very pleased with this product and highly recommend it to anyone.
5.0 - I recommend this brand of Elderberry syrup to all my friends ...
I recommend this brand of Elderberry syrup to all my friends to fend off colds and flu. A little pricy, but so worth it.
5.0 - Five Stars
Helps keep Colds and flu away. Will definitely buy again.
5.0 - It works! I have not gotten the flu despite everyone else getting it!
This is by far the best elderberry syrup on the market for potency and for taste. I work as an ER nurse and everyone has been coming in with the flu. I had a patient that we didn’t know had the flu and he was coughing in my face prior to us finding out. I bought this syrup and didn’t get the flu. I bought more on amazon because I loved it so much! It’s also way cheaper than Whole Foods! Great buy!
5.0 - Helps with keeping my kids healthy during cold/flu season!!
love this!! My daughter started taking this almost daily in February 2018 at about 18 months old, about 22lbs. we discussed using it with our pediatrician before hand and received their blessing. I would talk with your child's doctor before administering. My daughter goes to day care full time and was just always getting upper respiratory colds. we started giving this to her almost daily and it worked so well!! i was so shocked!! Shes been sick with colds/random virsus maybe twice since february. Worked great during cold/flu season! if she got a cold, it was for a day or two and then she was fine! She has had other viruses (HFM and roseolla, but i dont think really anything can protect kids from those). now that its summer we haven't been giving it to her, but plan to once fall/winter comes. it is VERY sweet and my daughter wouldn't take it directly, so we ended up putting it in her milk. didnt really impact the taste of the milk though, so thats worked for us. If you kiddos are constantly sick with colds/viruses, try this!! (after talking to your doctor ;) ), it worked really really well! I wish i knew about it sooner!!
5.0 - Five Stars
haven't been sick since using it 1 to 2 times/day during flu season!
5.0 - I keep a bottle on hand and this has been the best brand for us
This is a must for cold and flu we have used it for years. I keep a bottle on hand and this has been the best brand for us. Also works amazing for dogs with kennel cough which is how I first found it. Cured her in 2 days.
5.0 - This stuff is amazing!
This is concentrated elderberry syrup and well worth the cost. It helps boost your immune system in general. However, we take this mainly in the winter months when it's cold/flu season. We take it as a preventative and the up the dose when we feel something coming on, or are in the midst of it.
5.0 - Simply Awesome! Thank you
Simply Awesome! Thank you . I haven’t been sick , no colds and no flu for last two years since using this product:)
5.0 - Five Stars
No flu for me this flu season.
5.0 - One of my favorite cold and flu remedies
We use this anytime we get sick, and I really believe it helps! I couldn't be without it.
5.0 - Very good!
I am very satisfied with this product. I have used the syrup either straight or mixed. I have taken a teaspoonful straight and it tastes pretty good and not too sweet. I have mixed a teaspoonful with 8 to 12 oz Perrier carbonated water for a kind of healthy soda (non sugary, more like elderberry essence soda water) with a very nice deep purple color due to the concentrated syrup. I cannot speak much to its use as a cough syrup/suppressant or for cold prevention since it is not currently the cold & flu season. It may boost the immune system since I have not gotten sick since I started using this product about 2 to 3x week for a month and also I have not really been affected by allergies during spring pollen season.
5.0 - Gaia Herbs Black Elderberry Nighttime Syrup, 5.4 Ounce
I love this nighttime syrup when I have a cold or flu symptoms. Enables me to sleep all night with little to no coughing. A real life and sleep saver for sure! Keep it on hand for when you need it.
5.0 - Delicious and effective immune booster!
This is a great item to have in your remedy cupboard, if you don't already use it on a daily basis to boost your immune response during the winter months. Elderberry has been researched in Europe and Israel, and proven to be effective in helping fight a cold or flu and shorten the duration of the illness. The syrup is very flavorful and pleasantly sweet. It contains a small amount of sugar, but not corn syrup. If you don't want to take it by the spoonful directly, it is delicious mixed with a half cup of cold water. Or, it is very soothing mixed with a half a cup of hot water. I've tried other brands, and Gaia is very fresh tasting, and works as well as the brand that has been on the market for years. It's wonderful when a simple, natural remedy actually works!
5.0 - No flu!
I've been taking all winter, and no flu, no cold, no sinus trouble. For me? that is amazing.
5.0 - Five Stars
Take Elderberry Syrup almost every day during FLU season. Wouldn't be without it.
5.0 - Five Stars
Family member recommended it. It works!! Get it before cold and flu season.
5.0 - This product stops viruses from multiplying. It’s extremely helpful ...
This product stops viruses from multiplying. It’s extremely helpful for cold sores. You may need to take it right away and sometimes take 2 pills at a time multiple times a day - but it works! Also works for other cold and flu viruses and is much stronger than elderberry syrup.
5.0 - I am so glad my family started taking elderberry syrup
I’m usually skeptical when it comes to supplement and this product change my view completely, I am so glad my family started taking elderberry syrup. My husband got a flu and pneumonia a few weeks ago. Our kids are 2 and 6 yrs old. I was so worried, I wanted to do anything I can try to prevent spreading in the house. None of us got sick at all. Since we started taking this a few weeks ago, we have been surrounded by sick kids and grown ups but thankfully we’re all good. I compared the concentration and dosage with other company’s products and I realized this one looks the best. Very happy and will continue to give kids as daily supplement.
5.0 - It seems to be a great product to boost your immune system
We have this on hand for colds and the flu. It seems to be a great product to boost your immune system!
5.0 - Loved every drop of it
So yummy! Loved every drop of it. It's pricey, but it saved me from a flu (along with a combo of other homeo remedies)

want to kill colds, flues, viruses. then this and nascent iodine is for you.
5.0 - My kids and I have been taking this for about ...
My kids and I have been taking this for about two weeks now. My 3 year old son is in daycare and my 11 year old daughter is in 5th grade. My daughter came home Friday with a stuffed up nose and a cough. I immediately gave her a dose of this syrup. I had been giving it every other day. She got a dose Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The cough and stuffiness generally subsided. She went to school Monday with no problems. I'm attributing her getting over whatever she had (even if it was just a common cold) so fast to the Elderberry. This child is a former preemie who has had multiple surgeries and suffers from respiratory issues every winter!! The 2017-2018 flu season is running RAMPANT and I wanted to do everything I could to protect her!
5.0 - don't be without Elderberry this cold and flu season.
This is very good tasting, sweet and syrupy - very helpful in chest congestion/colds.
5.0 - Great product. Is the to go product during allergies
Great product. Is the to go product during allergies, cold and flu season. Take it as soon as you feel like getting sick or as preventive.
5.0 - Keep several in stock at home.
This stuff is unbeatable when you feel a cold / flu coming on. We love it.
4.0 - Amazing taste
I'm disappointed this item didn't appear on Vine until after the cold/flu season because I would've loved to compare it to standard OTC medicines. So I cannot speak as to whether it's comparable or even works in that regard. After reading about its benefits online, I do plan to put it to the test this coming winter. It is more expensive than standard cold/flu medicines, but it being organic and all-natural helps offset its price. My son is prone to respiratory ailments so to me it's worth a try.
5.0 - GREAT PRODUCT!
Have not tried it yet but know it works to get rid of what ails you. The next cold or flu that comes around I will be taking it for sure. Great product!

a friend of a friend shared how elderberry helped him overcome a severe cold. gaia comes through again ... anything i am looking for they make. Did not get a flu shot this year and any time I feel something coming on .... i take one! Hubby was under the weather and had him take two in am and two in the pm - next day he was back to normal!
5.0 - Tastes good and really works!
Tastes good and REALLY works.This was my first use and I will keep a few bottles on hand during flu season from now on.
5.0 - No colds or flu
Elderberry protected me from colds and flu last year; I will trust again this winter for good health!
5.0 - A GREAT PRODUCT!
I BOUGHT THESE TO HELP WARD OFF ANY COLDS OR FLU. SO FAR ALL WINTER ALLS GOOD!! BETTER CROSS MY FINGERS HUH! NO I'VE USED THIS EVERY WINTER FOR 5 OR MORE YEARS-I'VE BEEN SICK W THE FLU A FEW TIMES-BUT IT DOESNT SEEM AS SEVERE OF LAST AS LONG. I'LL HIT EM HARD WHEN I FEEL SOMETHING COMING ON-SEEMS TO WORK FOR ME!
5.0 - Delicious...and works.
I've taken this once a day all through the fall and winter for the past 3 years. I have not had a cold or flu in all this time, and I do not get the flu vaccine. I work in a hospital and I am therefore exposed to many people...this product keep my immune system strong. It tastes delicious and this is the best price I have found. If taken once a day a 5.4 oz. bottle will last 1 month. Highly recommended.
5.0 - Five Stars
Best supplement for keeping colds & flu away when taken regularly
5.0 - Great stuff!
After hearing so many good things about elderberry syrup I decided to try this product. We didn’t have the flu but I ordered it incase we got it this season with our 2 school aged boys. I opened it and used it whenever someone started getting a cold and the symptoms would go away by the next day at best or become more mild at least. And It tastes good. Kinda like blackberry jam. Not overly sugary like other brands. My kids love it. I will keep a bottle of this product on hand for our high risk times of year from now on. Wish the price would go back down tho!!
5.0 - It really does seem to work like everyone says! Hard to believe, but it proved to be true!
The flu this season, 17-18, has been one of the worst. My 17 months old and I ended up getting sick for now over a month... mine turned worse into an uncontrollable bronchial asthma. I’ve been on OTC and doctor prescribed meds. Finally had to succumb and take significant dose of steroids for 5 days... in the mean time, I’ve heard so much about this elderberry syrup by so many. So I ordered it. It arrived 2 full-days after I got off steroid and I was still struggling with inflammation with breathing issues. On the third day after the steroids, I went to acupuncture treatment and took this syrup twice with other herbal meds for cough and asthma. I actually slept that night and woke up with significantly less inflammation in my chest. My daughter, who had runny nose for a month, literally stopped having runny nose. She did take herbal meds for about a week. Fast forward one week later, my asthma is under control and my voice is back.
5.0 - This really works. My husband and I was so ...
This really works. My husband and I was so sick with the flu and this really broke up all the congestion in our chest. I won't be without it in the future.
5.0 - ... away from natural remedy and rely on UN-natural medicine like thera-flu, vicks
Why oh why do we move away from natural remedy and rely on UN-natural medicine like thera-flu, vicks, nyquil? I keep needing to use this and feel miserable. This is the first cold season that I have had without a flu, cough or cold and I just used Elderberry. I typically end up with 5-6 colds/year because our family is always on the move. Finally a secret weapon to fight from a stale environment we have in winters (Portland, Or - never too cold or never too warm, lots of active bacteria).
5.0 - No colds or flus
I bought this after reading it was good for keeping colds and flus at bay. I haven't had either. It tastes great as well.
5.0 - Our go-to cold and flu remedy
Our go-to cold and flu remedy. Love this stuff!
4.0 - Price increased
This works great, but the price has increased from $13.99 in February 2018 to $19.99. I hope to see it go down after flu season.
5.0 - My bff this time of year!
This is wonderful. My friend had bought me some and I now get it here on Amazon. The taste isn't too bad too. It doesn't bother my heartburn/reflux at all, but it does hit you a little sweet and a little sour. Maybe eat something before and/or after. Most importantly though, I feel it really is great to boost your immune system and knock out illnesses. From my experience - I started feeling like I got hit by a bus out of nowhere, I immediately started taking some (I actually doubled up the recommended dose and took it like a cough syrup - not recommended for all.) for the first two days and honestly, it knocked it right out of my system! I work in an Urgent Care so I'm surrounded by colds etc. This helps, especially during this season to combat it. I take it regularly (normal dosage) to prevent any bugs and beef up my immune system too throughout the year. I highly recommend trying it and wanted to make sure I do write a review. :) As a frequent Amazon user and consumer/shopper in general, I always appreciate reading some reviews before buying a product! So, here you go! Wonderful product and you can even track where your herbs come from. Haven't tried it, but I think that's pretty cool. Take care!
5.0 - Kept me from getting sick this winter
This is the first winter I've used Gaia black elderberry syrup on recommendation by a friend and it has saved me and my family from getting sick while many around us was getting the flu. I take 2 teaspoons twice a day when I'm feeling run down or coming down with a sore throat. Literally, we've gone through 4 or 5 bottles of this already this season. Expensive but it is worth not getting sick. Amazon's price for this is a lot cheaper than Whole Foods.
5.0 - Helps with airborne allergies
I use this product daily when people around me are experiencing cold/flu season. It also seems to help with my seasonal airborne allergies - I think it provides extra vitamin c in a food form but I am not certified in these areas. I just know it helps.
4.0 - Works wonders !
The product is great for staving off the flu. Use it before you travel, by plane, train, or whatever. It will work wonders ! MAKE SURE YOU ORDER and RECEIVE the PLAIN Black Elderberry Syrup if you intend to do any traveling while using this product, or they may send you the "Nighttime Syrup" instead as they did for me! They say they would replace it for half the price but I just kept it as I am not traveling at this time, Only use "Nighttime" at bedtime!!!! Because it will make you groggy!!!!! I would recommend this product. Works wonders!!!!
5.0 - Ward off colds, flu naturally
Black elderberry syrup is one of my go-to items when I feel like I’m coming down with a cold – scratchy throat – sniffle, etc. The quantity provided here is more than enough to get you through cold/flu season or to keep on hand when you need it.
5.0 - So tasty even bears would line up for this!
Two weeks ago I was diagnosed with H1N1 swine flu etc. Someone here had written that the Univ. of Maryland had researched elderberry syrup and that it was the only thing that was having any effect on H1N1. I also read that research and ordered a bottle.When trying it for the very first time, I steeled myself for any sort of bitter taste. It tasted delicious! I didn't have a miraculous healing but I do feel that it helped. I especially like that it's packed with vitamin C, NO PRESERVATIVES, and NO HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP. It is 100 % elderberry syrup/juice and it was really GOOD. I quadrupled the serving amount in order to let it really pack a punch to the virus. This is my second bottle.
5.0 - Love this product.
Good for colds and flu but I also used it when my daughter had molluscum contagiousum. I believe it helped clear up the virus faster than it would have if I didn't have it.
4.0 - Works wonders but horrible taste
I love the gaia elderberry syrup and my kids and I have used for several years. It works wonders and really helps boost our immune system during cold/flu season. I bought this Nighttime version by accident the last time I was at the store and just hate it. While it still works well, I can't stand the herbal taste of the "Nighttime" herbs. It is like herbal tea on steroids. My kids won't take it, so I'm stuck using the entire bottle by myself and had to go back to buy them the regular Gaia Elderberry syrup.
5.0 - This is a great naturopathic way to boost your immune system during cold ...
This is a great naturopathic way to boost your immune system during cold and flu season. It is easy to take and tastes great! Good for kids and adults.
5.0 - Can't live without
I love this product. As a first grade teacher, I'm surrounded by lots of germs. I take a tsb every night to keep myself from catching all the illnesses. Since I have been taking this, I have been able to avoid stomach bugs, flu, and colds.
5.0 - I'm sold.
I ordered this just a few days before my daughter (19 months) ended up with Influenza A despite having a flu shot. I gave her this along with the Tamiflu that was prescribed to her. Her symptoms drastically improved in just a couple of days. I don't know how much of her improvement was because of this and how much was due to the Tamiflu, but it sold me on keeping this as a household staple during cold and flu season!
5.0 - Didn't get the flu
I bought this during flu season. Everyone in my office got the flu. I was around them. I did not get the flu. Just my own personal experience!
4.0 - This elderberry syrup has a great flavor unlike other brands that I've tried
This elderberry syrup has a great flavor unlike other brands that I've tried. Other brands have been very potent. This one I can take a spoonful by itself without having to mix with something else. It has proven to be helpful for me and my husband during flu season this year.
5.0 - They love it (but they are so used to it
I would never ever go through a flu season with out this liquid gold!!! Seriously. My kids take a 1/2 tsp every night for immune boosting. If they are starting a cold they get it 2x a day.
5.0 - Trusted brand
Great trusted brand. A little pricey but convenient. Helps so much when taken properly. Natural cold and flu fighter. Tastes great too!
5.0 - Very Helpful for Nighttime Cough and Immune Boost
My children were hit with a serious cold/flu thanks to flu vaccinated grandparents "shedding". I know this was the source because I homeschool and my children don't go to daycare. My parents went to the doctor to get antibiotics but my children were given Black Elderberry Syrup, Black Elderberry NightTime Syrup, vitamins, tea (lemon, honey and a little salt) and a small spoonful of diced garlic and honey. My children recovered within two weeks (that's how nasty the bug was) my parents were sick for nearly a month with the cough lingering even longer.
5.0 - Wow. Wow. Wow. Use this!
When my daughter and wife were flat on their back this past winter with multiple horrific bouts of the flu, I thought I was in the clear. Then one day, as they were nearing the end of their ordeal, I developed the same symptoms they'd had at the start ... and that evening I had a freight train of a fever accompanied by shakes. I knew I was about to get slammed with what they had.
5.0 - Most useful, highest quality and most potent formula I have tried. By far!
This elderberry concentrate is super potent. Its not in the same class with others. I have tried several other brands from the local vitamin store. This one is far more effective. At the very first sign of illness, usually in the evening, I take a teaspoon of this with other immune boosting herbs. I follow up the next day with three more doses. This has been sufficient to ward off Col, flu, and other seasonal and travelers illnesses. I take it with me everywhere I travel. Its part of my first aid kit.
5.0 - Awesome stuff
I started taking this every day during the cold and flu season this year and I have yet to get sick with anything. I would always get at least a cold in the past years, haven't changed anything else but taking this syrup this year so I believe it is working!
5.0 - Keep on hand
This is great to have on hand to take at the first sign of a cold or flu.
5.0 - Toddler asks for this every day
This seemed to help us get over the flu quickly. My 2 year old thinks it tastes great!
5.0 - I rarely get cold/flu anymore, maybe once a year if that.
I absolutely love this! I take it once a week or whenever I remember to take it. It keeps the colds/flu away! I always recommend it to my friends/family. Everyone is coughing their lungs out, sickly and I'm just here with a smile on my face, healthy as can be.
5.0 - Immune system
I am a healthcare worker and have dealt with the flu for 30 + years now. This product is amazing. My 14 month old nephew tested positive for the flu this season. Fever over 100 and upper respiratory symptoms. His mother chose not to give him Tamiflu after reading the side effects. She used your product. He was fever free and back to playing and eating within 3 days. It is a thick syrup that almost reminds me of jam! Yum. When I feel like i may be catching cold or worse I take a dose just for prevention and must say i have yet to be sick.
5.0 - Used to be my favorite go to for flu and colds
I will say this used to be my favorite brand. They recently have made a change to it and I swear I think it's in my head but it just doesn't seem to work like the old kind did. The old one had 11 50 mg per one or two capsules and looked like it had Berry pulp inside this is some sort of freeze-dried? Stuff in the capsule and I went through a whole bottle and didn't get better. Usually I can take them for a couple days and it knocks out my flu for years I have sworn by this stuff and told everyone that will listen to get it and try it. I sure hope it's not the change in the method or the delivery of how it's stored in the capsule now but I can't figure out what else it could be? It's supposed to be extremely potent even though it looks to be less milk mg because it's a concentrated version It's supposed to actually be more milligrams than the previous? Got to say I'm discouraged. Not sure if it's all in my head but usually when I take it for a week it knocks out whatever I have and this time it did not. May have to look for a new product after this that's my go-to for sinus cold and flu super bummed.
5.0 - Amazing impact on our health!
We started taking this product to prevent flu, colds, etc., and wound up taking it every day. We have found that it has definitely boosted our immunity. Everyone we have recommended it to has also found it has absolutely made them feel better very quickly if they were just coming down with something. They were totally shocked at the quick response/improvement to their health! We swear by it!!! Wouldn't be without it in our house.
5.0 - Our immune system Buddy!
I have been using this supplement for almost 2 yes now and I am a true believer in black elderberry syrup. I first came across the benefits of this supplements when I was looking for a viral blocker and thru research I found out how black elderberry was used in the 90's to fight the flu epidemic in Panama so I started taking it and giving it to my children during flu season and I haven't stopped since then. I then started following a Holistic Pediatrician blog and he too recommends it for children who are fighting colds and flu or just to keep their immune system going strong. I personally use it as a daily immune system booster but I'm not a Dr, this is just what I do and it has worked. Do your research on black elderberry and when you are ready to buy it look no more, Gaia Herbs is one of the best supplemets manufacturers out there and it's also Organic where very few other ones are.
5.0 - Highly recommend. It works well for my children.
My Children use this at the first sign of a cold or flu. It helps a lot the relieve the symptoms.

5.0 - This is the only effective brand of elderberry, others ...
This is the only effective brand of elderberry, others don't work. This product reduces the duration and severity of colds and flus.
4.0 - Seems to work, bad taste!
In my quest to find something to prevent my annual bout with the flu, I decided to try this syrup. First off, it tastes pretty bad. It's sour but not in a good way, with a kind of vomit aftertaste. But, what's a bad taste compared to the flu? Feeling myself getting a cold, I started taking this and I got better rather quickly, and symptoms were not as severe as usual. Whether it's truly the syrup or a placebo effect, I don't know, but honestly I don't really think it matters as long as I'm seeing results. I will continue taking it, in the hope I can escape my annual visitor this year.
5.0 - Five Stars
Tastes delicious! Helped keep us healthy through the flu season.
5.0 - Great Immune Support
This product is a must-have during flu season. I use both the Gaia Elderberry syrup (sometimes) and the Gaia capsules when I'm traveling. I swear by Elderberry. I've been so exposed to colds and flu that I was just SURE I'd likely get sick. But this stuff is the best. If you even FEEL a slight tickle, starting taking elderberry syrup and it seems to work great on the chest. Stick with it 3-4 times per day and it seems to eliminate or reduce symptoms until your own immunes can take over and kick it. I like the syrup for actual symptoms and the capsules for an every other day alternative.
5.0 - Took instead of flu shot
While pregnant I refused the flu shot and took elderberry syrup daily instead. Postpartum my husband was sick. I started taking the syrup just in case and was fine.
5.0 - A Must-Have During the Flu Season
I've been taking this daily this winter and I must say I haven't gotten any colds thus far. When working an an open environment with many people ill with colds and flu, I have to say this product has contributed to strengthening my immune system. Thank goodness kids can take this as well. My daughter takes it daily as well. And must I say, no colds this year for her as well! I highly recommend taking this product. This is now a must-have every year in my home!
4.0 - Good value, simple ingredient list, and actually works but the full dose causes stomach upset
I'm normally a skeptic about products like this, but this has really helped me this past cold/flu season. It is higher quality than other elderberry products I have tried and also seems to work better than others. I love the simple ingredient list, which is pretty hard to find in an elderberry product. It is only concentrated elderberry, concentrated acerola fruit, sugar cane juice, water, and lemon juice. Many other elderberry products have echinacea, more sugar, or other added ingredients. I keep it in the fridge, have a teaspoon a day as soon as I feel that throat tickle or the kids get a cold, and I either don't get sick at all or have fewer and less severe symptoms.
5.0 - A staple in our house
I love love love this stuff!!!! We always have it on hand. When any sickness is going around, when we start to feel sick, or after large gatherings during the flu season this is a must. I swear by this stuff. It works and it tastes fantastic. I have tried other brands of elderberry syrup and they taste gross, with a chemical after taste. I only buy Gaia elder berry syrup. I was able to combat the flu season in my family because of it. My 4 yr old actually likes taking it because it tastes so good.
5.0 - Love it !!!
Gaia Herbs Black Elderberry Syrup is great. Our whole family loves it including the kids. It tastes like nice ,fresh berry, juice. We have been taking it for awhile now and have not been sick so I guess it is working to boost our immunity.Time will tell when flu season rolls around.I love it and will buy another bottle when this one runs out.
5.0 - good quality and it works
A great not too sweet syrup to have on hand during the cold and flu season.
5.0 - Awesome
Great size, reasonably priced & very concentrated so not as much needed. Whenever any of us get sick I start the sick person on 1 tsp every 2 hours. Usually knocks out cold/cough/fever/flu within 12 hours. I mix w/ juice or gatorade but can be taken alone as well.

5.0 - WONDER HERB!
Best product on the market for colds and flu. Don't let the taste fool you! I take it in conjunction with fresh brewed ginger and hibiscus tea. Best remedy for the Fall and Winter months.

In the past, I have always found this effective during cold and flu season. It stopped the chronic sinusitis I used to have. Now I am very disturbed that the larger bottle of the syrup has disappeared and the general supply of the syrup has dwindled. Now there is tremendous price gouging going on for the syrup that is left. As a result those of us that have come to rely on this syrup to boost our immunity are left in the lurch. What is going on?
5.0 - Really helps!
Really helps sore throats and stopped my cold in it's tracks. I would recommend this to everyone during this flu season.

Love this syrup. Helps build your immune system. I never get sick when I take this during flu season. And it tastes great.

I've been taking one tsp of this daily for 2 years. No flu or colds since. I totally believe the claims of boosting the immune system!
5.0 - great product
I always look for natural remedies and methods to cure or prevent ailments. In the past I have made my own black elderberry syrup, but in my current location elderberries are not available. Or, I should say, I have had trouble buying them. This is a great alternative to making your own. My family has been healthy and avoided the colds and flu since taking elderberry syrup. Highly recommend!
5.0 - Feel so good.
I love this syrup. It is thick and tasty, not too sweet. I swear I feel better within hours. I take it often, not daily, and so far have not had the flu. I will reorder more.
5.0 - Kept my colds at bay all winter
I don't pop vitamins all day or believe I can stop a cold with herbs. But I noticed this product smack in the middle of cold and flu season here in the Northeast and ordered it. The next day (seriously) I felt crappy and was sure I was getting sick. So I tried the elderberry syrup--and I admit I took a little more than the recommended dose. The next day, I felt fine but took it again just to be safe (regular dose this time). And that threatening cold never developed. I was 100 percent fine. Coincidence? Possibly. But I've used it a few more times, always wth the same result. I'm not saying It's a cure-all. But it sure helped keep me healthy this past winter.
5.0 - HIGHLY recommend!!
This is the only syrup my 18 month old will take. It really does work to help his immune system! (Knock on wood) hasn't been sick once this cold/flu season. HIGHLY recommend!!
5.0 - Amazing stuff
I'm a registered nurse, and often skeptic when it comes to homeopathic remedies. Everyone at work was coming down with flu-like symptoms and colds. I woke up with a horrible sore throat, and started taking a generous teaspoon of this stuff 2x/day. Three days later: sore throat is almost healed and NO nasal symptoms. This stuff literally stopped a nasty cold in its tracks. I made my husband take it as a preventative, as well. Truly works!!!

We have used this brand of Elderberry Syrup for years. The kids love it and we use it as an added immune system booster. My daughter was diagnosed with the flu last winter and I gave her a spoonful every hour. She was back to herself in less than 36 hours. Absolutely wonderful.
5.0 - Happy! No more over the counter BS
It's flu season and I felt it coming many many times. I've taken this syrup twice a day and the symptoms disappears! Happy !No more over the counter BS
5.0 - BETTER THAN A FLU SHOT
A couple of years ago I wound up in the hospital with a flu bug after fainting and hitting my head ala Hillary Clinton. NOT wanting to repeat that experience, but wary of flu shots safety and efficacy, I started looking for holistic approaches to building my immune system. I now have a mighty cadre in my home medicine chest but the star among them is this elderberry syrup. I am 63 and it is gentle on my system, totally reliable to beat back whatever when I feel something coming on, and it tastes absolutely delightful! I trust the Gaia brand, so this is a no brainer. Even sent the children's version to my granddaughter.
5.0 - must have
My family survives off of this. It makes the cold and flu season easier to deal with for all ages.
5.0 - so good!
Use to prevent colds & flu. So far, so good!
5.0 - My Pow-Wow Grandmom recommends....
My German grandmother practiced pow-wow (us Pennsylvania Dutch called it "brauche", which means "need"). This is a type of faith healing, mixed in with herbal remedies. If any of her kids got sick, she wouldn't go get a doctor, because "they bury their mistakes". Instead, she'd go to one of those old family owned drug stores, and buy Elderberry Syrup. It was thought to drive away the symptoms of flu, help with coughs, and work as a general tonic, for spring cleaning of the body. Most Germans, and central Europeans, still use it like that today. I never saw it for sale, until I saw it for sale here on Amazon.
5.0 - While everyone around us was dropping like flies, we remained healthy and never slowed down
I refuse to be without this stuff during cold and flu season. While everyone around us was dropping like flies, we remained healthy and never slowed down! It doesn't taste bad, either...very sweet...but there were no complaints from my sweet tooth kiddos!

I purchased this on the recommendation of a good friend after having two very bad colds in a short period of time. So far I have stayed well with many sick around me. Seems everyone has had a cold or flu every where I've gone for the last few months!!
5.0 - Great for cold and flu season!
Our whole family takes this daily in the fall/winter/spring months. It works great to combat and lessen the time/severity of colds and flu. I just wish Amazon would have this on subscribe and save!
4.0 - Gaia tasted best of the 3 brands we tried.
My family started taking elderberry syrup in hopes of avoiding the flu or getting a milder case of the flu if it happens. We bought 3 different brands. This Gaia, Sambuccol and Wild Woman Naturals. Of the three we tried this was our favorite. The Sambuccol is too sweet and a dose is 2 teaspoons. It tastes like there is so much sugar in it, its overwhelming and hard to get down. The Wild Woman Naturals tastes god awful to say the least. I wouldn't even let my kids try that one it was so bad. The Gaia is sweet and reminds me a bit of prune juice, but it doesn't taste bad at all. My 11 year old hates it, but will take it with some begging from his mother, everyone else no problem. I am not ridiculous enough to think that this will prevent us from getting sick this season entirely, but I am hoping for the financial investment I am boosting my families immune system. Fingers crossed.
5.0 - I reiterate all the good things you see on other reviews
I reiterate all the good things you see on other reviews. This is miracle syrup when it comes to fighting cold and flue.
4.0 - Solid brand w/ research to back it up
I have used Gaia for many years -- my first experience was with their Elderberry which came in a different form, more like a dissolving tab. The syrup form is a bit more messy but tastes more potent or concentrated, almost like a tomato paste. I went a full winter without getting sick the last time I stuck to a daily dose of the elderberry, and since trying the syrup have not suffered too badly during this allergy season. Highly recommend for boosting immunity, especially in those hours when you feel on the verge of getting cold or flu.
5.0 - The real deal.
Great product! Very similar to the expensive stuff from a naturopath. Tastes great and I notice an improvement in cold and flu symptoms when taking this.
5.0 - Truly works
I use this product all through the winter with both my children to keep their immune system strong and resistant to flu and cold viruses. This is a very good way to fight those germs and I use it even for myself if I feel like I am coming down with something. I would and have been recommending this to friends and family!

This is the medicine if you dont like taking chemicals. Took this after having two rounds of antibiotics and i was better in a week. Then I kept taking it to fight sickness coming back around.
5.0 - Highly Recommend
great immune support- haven't been ill all winter . Did not get a flu shot this last fall -used black elderberry syrup for immune support.
4.0 - The taste is good, not too sweet
The taste is good, not too sweet. I'm not sure if it helped shorten the sickness, but this year's flu season has been rough. However, I liked that I was able to take this and feel like I was doing SOMETHING to improve my health. I'll keep taking it whenever I feel a sickness coming on...hopefully over time, I'll notice a difference.
5.0 - prevents and minimizes illnesses!
Our pediatrician recommended this as a preventative measure for my kids during cold/flu season, and it worked great! The most my kids got last winter was a mild cold, and this was after being exposed to the flu/colds in school. I told a friend who has been taking it since last year and said she was the only one in her office that did not get the flu (and she gets sick easily due to her asthma). Worth every penny!
5.0 - This is the BEST Elderbery Syrup for Increasing Immunity and fighting off colds and flu
I have used store brand, name brand Sanbucol, Sambucus, and NOTHING compares to this.
5.0 - good seller
bought this item based on other reviews to help build immune system during cold and flu season it works and taste good also
5.0 - Helpful cold and flu remedy and immune system booster
I had picked this up at Whole Foods initially when it was featured, I saw it and remembered hearing Dr. Oz on one of his shows had recommended elderberry as a remedy to help shorten colds and the flu. One evening I became congested and had other cold-like symptoms and worried I was in for a bout of being sick, so decided to try it. I woke up relieved of all symptoms, which I found amazing. I did some subsequent research and discovered it is even effective against H1N1. Good stuff!
4.0 - Great for stubborn long problems
This stuff is really good for respiratory conditions. If you have a chronic bronchitis, or a long cold or flu that will not go away, definitely give this a try.
5.0 - best product ever! :)
I highly recommend this product! It has gotten my family safely through years of cold and flu season! We keep it in stock at all times!
5.0 - I will not be without this product in my home!
I have sent this product to my loved ones and I will not be without it for even one day! I do not take it every day, just when I'm feeling a bit under the weather. Then, one teaspoon sets me right. It is truly amazing! Loaded with natural vitamin C it just whacks the heck out of any bug trying to get a hold. I don't get flu shots, and I don't do pharmaceuticals -- I have my home health larder of this product, berberine blend, and a few other natural immune boosters and antibiotics, and it serves me very well. PLUS it is delicious and safe for children as well. I am 64 and happy to say healthy!!
5.0 - Great cold/flu remedy.
I take this regularly in the winter months and take more of it when someone in the house is ill or I feel ill. My kids will take this right off the spoon since it's based in honey. Great cold/flu remedy. Our home is never without it.
4.0 - Helping cut the duration of my cold
Heard about this from a coworker that swears by it to help boost the immune system during cold and flu season especially. I purchased it because I am sick very often as a result from teaching two year olds so I'm constantly exposed to germs. So I'm not going to lie but the taste is very bitter to me, some people say they like it. I myself am not a fan. I had the idea to mix it into a glass of apple juice to mask the taste which seems to help with the taste quite a bit. So I've only been on this for a month and did have a cold but I feel that the duration of the cold was a lot shorter than it usually is.
5.0 - A good idea
I used this after I got the flu - should have bought it before! I can't say definitively that it works, but the research seems positive.
5.0 - you are better off with the Organic Gaia brand
Our lives are vastly improved by using this product. The sugars at 4 grams per tsp are less than in any other Elderberry product and using less tsp - two a day- with GAIA compared to 14 grams per tsp and taking 8 tsp a day with the other product, you are better off with the Organic Gaia brand. We have used this product for the past year... and it was the only thing to knock out a bad case of bronchitis for me. This summer we both had colds and using it cuts the length of the cold down for each of us to four days or less and the cold was less severe. If you google this product you will find it also helps with flus and other viruses. Maintenance dose is 1 tsp a day if you are in need and then if you do catch something it ups to a second tsp. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
5.0 - Awesome! Husband had the stomach flu and I began ...
Awesome! Husband had the stomach flu and I began taking this. 3 days later I caught it, but it was very mild!
5.0 - Great product
I swear by this stuff during cold and flu season. It also helps me to sleep. And it tastes really good, almost like a dessert topping! It does come out very thick after it is refrigerated. I have experienced zero negative side effects, although if you took it during the day time, it might make you drowsy. I will continue to buy it as long as Gaia keeps making it.

5.0 - Love this product!
Has already helped me avoid one cold, and shortened the duration of one I wasn't able to completely avoid. I normally get colds that last for 2-3 weeks with a horrible barking cough, but taking this has made a huge difference. I had a cold this past week, took this twice a day, and it was basically gone within 5 days with no chronic cough. I've also been giving it to my daughter to support her immune health, and to help support us both through this cold/flu season.

We prefer the gummies. This stuff taste pretty awful. I'm sure it works the same. It's a must have during cold/flu season.
5.0 - Boosts immunity and our saviour
We have been using this syrup for my little one ever since she was 15 months old and now one year later, I know for sure that she has shown improved immunity and doesn't fall sick with viral fevers as often as she used to in the past flu season. When she does fall I'll, she has been able to bounce back faster.
5.0 - Keto-approved! It works and no extra carbs!
I love this stuff. As a pediatric nurse, I take numerous measures to make sure I stay well and don’t bring any illnesses to my patients. One of those measures is a daily dose of high dose elderberry. I used to take Sambucus Immune, but I’ve recently started the keto diet and that particular liquid formula has 8 carbs per serving, so it’s a no go for me (but my daughter stays well on it)! This product is the highest strength I’ve found available in capsule form. I’ve been taking this product over 30 days and during that time, I’ve been in close quarters with several people with viruses like norovirus (stomach flu) and only once did I feel just a little queasy for one afternoon. I took a double dose that night and the next morning I felt at 100%. After that, I go ahead and double up when I’m knowingly around someone sick. Ultimately, I’m very pleased with this product and highly recommend it to anyone.

It’s also way cheaper than Whole Foods! Great buy!

5.0 - This stuff is amazing!
This is concentrated elderberry syrup and well worth the cost. It helps boost your immune system in general. However, we take this mainly in the winter months when it's cold/flu season. We take it as a preventative and the up the dose when we feel something coming on, or are in the midst of it.

5.0 - I am so glad my family started taking elderberry syrup
I’m usually skeptical when it comes to supplement and this product change my view completely, I am so glad my family started taking elderberry syrup. My husband got a flu and pneumonia a few weeks ago. Our kids are 2 and 6 yrs old. I was so worried, I wanted to do anything I can try to prevent spreading in the house. None of us got sick at all. Since we started taking this a few weeks ago, we have been surrounded by sick kids and grown ups but thankfully we’re all good. I compared the concentration and dosage with other company’s products and I realized this one looks the best. Very happy and will continue to give kids as daily supplement.

Best supplement for keeping colds & flu away when taken regularly
5.0 - Great stuff!
After hearing so many good things about elderberry syrup I decided to try this product. We didn’t have the flu but I ordered it incase we got it this season with our 2 school aged boys. I opened it and used it whenever someone started getting a cold and the symptoms would go away by the next day at best or become more mild at least. And It tastes good. Kinda like blackberry jam. Not overly sugary like other brands. My kids love it. I will keep a bottle of this product on hand for our high risk times of year from now on. Wish the price would go back down tho!!
5.0 - It really does seem to work like everyone says! Hard to believe, but it proved to be true!
The flu this season, 17-18, has been one of the worst. My 17 months old and I ended up getting sick for now over a month... mine turned worse into an uncontrollable bronchial asthma. I’ve been on OTC and doctor prescribed meds. Finally had to succumb and take significant dose of steroids for 5 days... in the mean time, I’ve heard so much about this elderberry syrup by so many. So I ordered it. It arrived 2 full-days after I got off steroid and I was still struggling with inflammation with breathing issues. On the third day after the steroids, I went to acupuncture treatment and took this syrup twice with other herbal meds for cough and asthma. I actually slept that night and woke up with significantly less inflammation in my chest. My daughter, who had runny nose for a month, literally stopped having runny nose. She did take herbal meds for about a week. Fast forward one week later, my asthma is under control and my voice is back.
5.0 - No colds or flus

5.0 - My bff this time of year!
This is wonderful. My friend had bought me some and I now get it here on Amazon. The taste isn't too bad too. It doesn't bother my heartburn/reflux at all, but it does hit you a little sweet and a little sour. Maybe eat something before and/or after. Most importantly though, I feel it really is great to boost your immune system and knock out illnesses. From my experience - I started feeling like I got hit by a bus out of nowhere, I immediately started taking some (I actually doubled up the recommended dose and took it like a cough syrup - not recommended for all.) for the first two days and honestly, it knocked it right out of my system! I work in an Urgent Care so I'm surrounded by colds etc. This helps, especially during this season to combat it. I take it regularly (normal dosage) to prevent any bugs and beef up my immune system too throughout the year. I highly recommend trying it and wanted to make sure I do write a review. :) As a frequent Amazon user and consumer/shopper in general, I always appreciate reading some reviews before buying a product! So, here you go! Wonderful product and you can even track where your herbs come from. Haven't tried it, but I think that's pretty cool. Take care!
5.0 - Kept me from getting sick this winter
This is the first winter I've used Gaia black elderberry syrup on recommendation by a friend and it has saved me and my family from getting sick while many around us was getting the flu. I take 2 teaspoons twice a day when I'm feeling run down or coming down with a sore throat. Literally, we've gone through 4 or 5 bottles of this already this season. Expensive but it is worth not getting sick. Amazon's price for this is a lot cheaper than Whole Foods.

5.0 - Helps with airborne allergies
I use this product daily when people around me are experiencing cold/flu season. It also seems to help with my seasonal airborne allergies - I think it provides extra vitamin c in a food form but I am not certified in these areas. I just know it helps.
5.0 - A good idea

The product is great for staving off the flu. Use it before you travel, by plane, train, or whatever. It will work wonders ! MAKE SURE YOU ORDER and RECEIVE the PLAIN Black Elderberry Syrup if you intend to do any traveling while using this product, or they may send you the "Nighttime Syrup" instead as they did for me! They say they would replace it for half the price but I just kept it as I am not traveling at this time, Only use "Nighttime" at bedtime!!!! Because it will make you groggy!!!!! I would recommend this product. Works wonders!!!!
5.0 - Ward off colds, flu naturally
Black elderberry syrup is one of my go-to items when I feel like I’m coming down with a cold – scratchy throat – sniffle, etc. The quantity provided here is more than enough to get you through cold/flu season or to keep on hand when you need it.
5.0 - So tasty even bears would line up for this!
Two weeks ago I was diagnosed with H1N1 swine flu etc. Someone here had written that the Univ. of Maryland had researched elderberry syrup and that it was the only thing that was having any effect on H1N1. I also read that research and ordered a bottle.When trying it for the very first time, I steeled myself for any sort of bitter taste. It tasted delicious! I didn't have a miraculous healing but I do feel that it helped. I especially like that it's packed with vitamin C, NO PRESERVATIVES, and NO HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP. It is 100 % elderberry syrup/juice and it was really GOOD. I quadrupled the serving amount in order to let it really pack a punch to the virus. This is my second bottle.
5.0 - Love this product.
Good for colds and flu but I also used it when my daughter had molluscum contagiousum. I believe it helped clear up the virus faster than it would have if I didn't have it.
4.0 - Works wonders but horrible taste

I bought this Nighttime version by accident the last time I was at the store and just hate it. While it still works well, I can't stand the herbal taste of the "Nighttime" herbs. It is like herbal tea on steroids. My kids won't take it, so I'm stuck using the entire bottle by myself and had to go back to buy them the regular Gaia Elderberry syrup.
4.0 - Amazing taste
I'm disappointed this item didn't appear on Vine until after the cold/flu season because I would've loved to compare it to standard OTC medicines. So I cannot speak as to whether it's comparable or even works in that regard. After reading about its benefits online, I do plan to put it to the test this coming winter. It is more expensive than standard cold/flu medicines, but it being organic and all-natural helps offset its price. My son is prone to respiratory ailments so to me it's worth a try.
5.0 - Can't live without
I love this product. As a first grade teacher, I'm surrounded by lots of germs. I take a tsb every night to keep myself from catching all the illnesses. Since I have been taking this, I have been able to avoid stomach bugs, flu, and colds.
5.0 - I'm sold.
I ordered this just a few days before my daughter (19 months) ended up with Influenza A despite having a flu shot. I gave her this along with the Tamiflu that was prescribed to her. Her symptoms drastically improved in just a couple of days. I don't know how much of her improvement was because of this and how much was due to the Tamiflu, but it sold me on keeping this as a household staple during cold and flu season!
5.0 - Didn't get the flu
I bought this during flu season. Everyone in my office got the flu. I was around them. I did not get the flu. Just my own personal experience!
4.0 - This elderberry syrup has a great flavor unlike other brands that I've tried
This elderberry syrup has a great flavor unlike other brands that I've tried. Other brands have been very potent. This one I can take a spoonful by itself without having to mix with something else. It has proven to be helpful for me and my husband during flu season this year.
5.0 - Trusted brand
Great trusted brand. A little pricey but convenient. Helps so much when taken properly. Natural cold and flu fighter. Tastes great too!
5.0 - Happy! No more over the counter BS
It's flu season and I felt it coming many many times. I've taken this syrup twice a day and the symptoms disappears! Happy !No more over the counter BS
5.0 - Very Helpful for Nighttime Cough and Immune Boost
My children were hit with a serious cold/flu thanks to flu vaccinated grandparents "shedding". I know this was the source because I homeschool and my children don't go to daycare. My parents went to the doctor to get antibiotics but my children were given Black Elderberry Syrup, Black Elderberry NightTime Syrup, vitamins, tea (lemon, honey and a little salt) and a small spoonful of diced garlic and honey. My children recovered within two weeks (that's how nasty the bug was) my parents were sick for nearly a month with the cough lingering even longer.
5.0 - Wow. Wow. Wow. Use this!
When my daughter and wife were flat on their back this past winter with multiple horrific bouts of the flu, I thought I was in the clear. Then one day, as they were nearing the end of their ordeal, I developed the same symptoms they'd had at the start ... and that evening I had a freight train of a fever accompanied by shakes. I knew I was about to get slammed with what they had.
5.0 - Used to be my favorite go to for flu and colds
I will say this used to be my favorite brand. They recently have made a change to it and I swear I think it's in my head but it just doesn't seem to work like the old kind did. The old one had 11 50 mg per one or two capsules and looked like it had Berry pulp inside this is some sort of freeze-dried? Stuff in the capsule and I went through a whole bottle and didn't get better. Usually I can take them for a couple days and it knocks out my flu for years I have sworn by this stuff and told everyone that will listen to get it and try it. I sure hope it's not the change in the method or the delivery of how it's stored in the capsule now but I can't figure out what else it could be? It's supposed to be extremely potent even though it looks to be less milk mg because it's a concentrated version It's supposed to actually be more milligrams than the previous? Got to say I'm discouraged. Not sure if it's all in my head but usually when I take it for a week it knocks out whatever I have and this time it did not. May have to look for a new product after this that's my go-to for sinus cold and flu super bummed.
5.0 - Our immune system Buddy!
I have been using this supplement for almost 2 yes now and I am a true believer in black elderberry syrup. I first came across the benefits of this supplements when I was looking for a viral blocker and thru research I found out how black elderberry was used in the 90's to fight the flu epidemic in Panama so I started taking it and giving it to my children during flu season and I haven't stopped since then. I then started following a Holistic Pediatrician blog and he too recommends it for children who are fighting colds and flu or just to keep their immune system going strong. I personally use it as a daily immune system booster but I'm not a Dr, this is just what I do and it has worked. Do your research on black elderberry and when you are ready to buy it look no more, Gaia Herbs is one of the best supplemets manufacturers out there and it's also Organic where very few other ones are.
5.0 - Most useful, highest quality and most potent formula I have tried. By far!
This elderberry concentrate is super potent. Its not in the same class with others. I have tried several other brands from the local vitamin store. This one is far more effective. At the very first sign of illness, usually in the evening, I take a teaspoon of this with other immune boosting herbs. I follow up the next day with three more doses. This has been sufficient to ward off Col, flu, and other seasonal and travelers illnesses. I take it with me everywhere I travel. Its part of my first aid kit.
5.0 - Awesome stuff
I started taking this every day during the cold and flu season this year and I have yet to get sick with anything. I would always get at least a cold in the past years, haven't changed anything else but taking this syrup this year so I believe it is working!
5.0 - This is the BEST Elderbery Syrup for Increasing Immunity and fighting off colds and flu
I have used store brand, name brand Sanbucol, Sambucus, and NOTHING compares to this.
5.0 - Toddler asks for this every day
This seemed to help us get over the flu quickly. My 2 year old thinks it tastes great!
5.0 - I rarely get cold/flu anymore, maybe once a year if that.
I absolutely love this! I take it once a week or whenever I remember to take it. It keeps the colds/flu away! I always recommend it to my friends/family. Everyone is coughing their lungs out, sickly and I'm just here with a smile on my face, healthy as can be.
5.0 - Immune system
I am a healthcare worker and have dealt with the flu for 30 + years now. This product is amazing. My 14 month old nephew tested positive for the flu this season. Fever over 100 and upper respiratory symptoms. His mother chose not to give him Tamiflu after reading the side effects. She used your product. He was fever free and back to playing and eating within 3 days. It is a thick syrup that almost reminds me of jam! Yum. When I feel like i may be catching cold or worse I take a dose just for prevention and must say i have yet to be sick.
5.0 - Highly recommend. It works well for my children.
My Children use this at the first sign of a cold or flu. It helps a lot the relieve the symptoms.
5.0 - Helps with keeping my kids healthy during cold/flu season!!
love this!! My daughter started taking this almost daily in February 2018 at about 18 months old, about 22lbs. we discussed using it with our pediatrician before hand and received their blessing. I would talk with your child's doctor before administering. My daughter goes to day care full time and was just always getting upper respiratory colds. we started giving this to her almost daily and it worked so well!! i was so shocked!! Shes been sick with colds/random virsus maybe twice since february. Worked great during cold/flu season! if she got a cold, it was for a day or two and then she was fine! She has had other viruses (HFM and roseolla, but i dont think really anything can protect kids from those). now that its summer we haven't been giving it to her, but plan to once fall/winter comes. it is VERY sweet and my daughter wouldn't take it directly, so we ended up putting it in her milk. didnt really impact the taste of the milk though, so thats worked for us. If you kiddos are constantly sick with colds/viruses, try this!! (after talking to your doctor ;) ), it worked really really well! I wish i knew about it sooner!!
5.0 - HIGHLY recommend!!
This is the only syrup my 18 month old will take. It really does work to help his immune system! (Knock on wood) hasn't been sick once this cold/flu season. HIGHLY recommend!!

This is the only effective brand of elderberry, others don't work. This product reduces the duration and severity of colds and flus.
4.0 - Seems to work, bad taste!
In my quest to find something to prevent my annual bout with the flu, I decided to try this syrup. First off, it tastes pretty bad. It's sour but not in a good way, with a kind of vomit aftertaste. But, what's a bad taste compared to the flu? Feeling myself getting a cold, I started taking this and I got better rather quickly, and symptoms were not as severe as usual. Whether it's truly the syrup or a placebo effect, I don't know, but honestly I don't really think it matters as long as I'm seeing results. I will continue taking it, in the hope I can escape my annual visitor this year.

Tastes delicious! Helped keep us healthy through the flu season.
5.0 - Took instead of flu shot
While pregnant I refused the flu shot and took elderberry syrup daily instead. Postpartum my husband was sick. I started taking the syrup just in case and was fine.
5.0 - A Must-Have During the Flu Season
I've been taking this daily this winter and I must say I haven't gotten any colds thus far. When working an an open environment with many people ill with colds and flu, I have to say this product has contributed to strengthening my immune system. Thank goodness kids can take this as well. My daughter takes it daily as well. And must I say, no colds this year for her as well! I highly recommend taking this product. This is now a must-have every year in my home!
5.0 - Great Immune Support
This product is a must-have during flu season. I use both the Gaia Elderberry syrup (sometimes) and the Gaia capsules when I'm traveling. I swear by Elderberry. I've been so exposed to colds and flu that I was just SURE I'd likely get sick. But this stuff is the best. If you even FEEL a slight tickle, starting taking elderberry syrup and it seems to work great on the chest. Stick with it 3-4 times per day and it seems to eliminate or reduce symptoms until your own immunes can take over and kick it. I like the syrup for actual symptoms and the capsules for an every other day alternative.
5.0 - Five Stars
Great taste and got rid of my flu symptoms in a couple of days.
4.0 - Good value, simple ingredient list, and actually works but the full dose causes stomach upset
I'm normally a skeptic about products like this, but this has really helped me this past cold/flu season. It is higher quality than other elderberry products I have tried and also seems to work better than others. I love the simple ingredient list, which is pretty hard to find in an elderberry product. It is only concentrated elderberry, concentrated acerola fruit, sugar cane juice, water, and lemon juice. Many other elderberry products have echinacea, more sugar, or other added ingredients. I keep it in the fridge, have a teaspoon a day as soon as I feel that throat tickle or the kids get a cold, and I either don't get sick at all or have fewer and less severe symptoms.
5.0 - A staple in our house
I love love love this stuff!!!! We always have it on hand. When any sickness is going around, when we start to feel sick, or after large gatherings during the flu season this is a must. I swear by this stuff. It works and it tastes fantastic. I have tried other brands of elderberry syrup and they taste gross, with a chemical after taste. I only buy Gaia elder berry syrup. I was able to combat the flu season in my family because of it. My 4 yr old actually likes taking it because it tastes so good.
5.0 - Love it !!!
Gaia Herbs Black Elderberry Syrup is great. Our whole family loves it including the kids. It tastes like nice ,fresh berry, juice. We have been taking it for awhile now and have not been sick so I guess it is working to boost our immunity.Time will tell when flu season rolls around.I love it and will buy another bottle when this one runs out.
5.0 - good quality and it works
A great not too sweet syrup to have on hand during the cold and flu season.
5.0 - Delicious...and works.
I've taken this once a day all through the fall and winter for the past 3 years. I have not had a cold or flu in all this time, and I do not get the flu vaccine. I work in a hospital and I am therefore exposed to many people...this product keep my immune system strong. It tastes delicious and this is the best price I have found. If taken once a day a 5.4 oz. bottle will last 1 month. Highly recommended.
5.0 - Awesome
Great size, reasonably priced & very concentrated so not as much needed. Whenever any of us get sick I start the sick person on 1 tsp every 2 hours. Usually knocks out cold/cough/fever/flu within 12 hours. I mix w/ juice or gatorade but can be taken alone as well.
5.0 - WONDER HERB!
Best product on the market for colds and flu. Don't let the taste fool you! I take it in conjunction with fresh brewed ginger and hibiscus tea. Best remedy for the Fall and Winter months.

I've been taking one tsp of this daily for 2 years. No flu or colds since. I totally believe the claims of boosting the immune system!
5.0 - My kids and I have been taking this for about ...
My kids and I have been taking this for about two weeks now. My 3 year old son is in daycare and my 11 year old daughter is in 5th grade. My daughter came home Friday with a stuffed up nose and a cough. I immediately gave her a dose of this syrup. I had been giving it every other day. She got a dose Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The cough and stuffiness generally subsided. She went to school Monday with no problems. I'm attributing her getting over whatever she had (even if it was just a common cold) so fast to the Elderberry. This child is a former preemie who has had multiple surgeries and suffers from respiratory issues every winter!! The 2017-2018 flu season is running RAMPANT and I wanted to do everything I could to protect her!
5.0 - great product
I always look for natural remedies and methods to cure or prevent ailments. In the past I have made my own black elderberry syrup, but in my current location elderberries are not available. Or, I should say, I have had trouble buying them. This is a great alternative to making your own. My family has been healthy and avoided the colds and flu since taking elderberry syrup. Highly recommend!
5.0 - Kept my colds at bay all winter
I don't pop vitamins all day or believe I can stop a cold with herbs. But I noticed this product smack in the middle of cold and flu season here in the Northeast and ordered it. The next day (seriously) I felt crappy and was sure I was getting sick. So I tried the elderberry syrup--and I admit I took a little more than the recommended dose. The next day, I felt fine but took it again just to be safe (regular dose this time). And that threatening cold never developed. I was 100 percent fine. Coincidence? Possibly. But I've used it a few more times, always wth the same result. I'm not saying It's a cure-all. But it sure helped keep me healthy this past winter.
5.0 - Amazing stuff
I'm a registered nurse, and often skeptic when it comes to homeopathic remedies. Everyone at work was coming down with flu-like symptoms and colds. I woke up with a horrible sore throat, and started taking a generous teaspoon of this stuff 2x/day. Three days later: sore throat is almost healed and NO nasal symptoms. This stuff literally stopped a nasty cold in its tracks. I made my husband take it as a preventative, as well. Truly works!!!
5.0 - Excellent product
Like this product very much during winter cold & flu season as it seems to head off whatever one thinks they are coming down with. Tastes
5.0 - BETTER THAN A FLU SHOT
A couple of years ago I wound up in the hospital with a flu bug after fainting and hitting my head ala Hillary Clinton. NOT wanting to repeat that experience, but wary of flu shots safety and efficacy, I started looking for holistic approaches to building my immune system. I now have a mighty cadre in my home medicine chest but the star among them is this elderberry syrup. I am 63 and it is gentle on my system, totally reliable to beat back whatever when I feel something coming on, and it tastes absolutely delightful! I trust the Gaia brand, so this is a no brainer. Even sent the children's version to my granddaughter.
5.0 - must have
My family survives off of this. It makes the cold and flu season easier to deal with for all ages.
5.0 - My Pow-Wow Grandmom recommends....
My German grandmother practiced pow-wow (us Pennsylvania Dutch called it "brauche", which means "need"). This is a type of faith healing, mixed in with herbal remedies. If any of her kids got sick, she wouldn't go get a doctor, because "they bury their mistakes". Instead, she'd go to one of those old family owned drug stores, and buy Elderberry Syrup. It was thought to drive away the symptoms of flu, help with coughs, and work as a general tonic, for spring cleaning of the body. Most Germans, and central Europeans, still use it like that today. I never saw it for sale, until I saw it for sale here on Amazon.
5.0 - While everyone around us was dropping like flies, we remained healthy and never slowed down
I refuse to be without this stuff during cold and flu season. While everyone around us was dropping like flies, we remained healthy and never slowed down! It doesn't taste bad, either...very sweet...but there were no complaints from my sweet tooth kiddos!
5.0 - Very good!
I am very satisfied with this product. I have used the syrup either straight or mixed. I have taken a teaspoonful straight and it tastes pretty good and not too sweet. I have mixed a teaspoonful with 8 to 12 oz Perrier carbonated water for a kind of healthy soda (non sugary, more like elderberry essence soda water) with a very nice deep purple color due to the concentrated syrup. I cannot speak much to its use as a cough syrup/suppressant or for cold prevention since it is not currently the cold & flu season. It may boost the immune system since I have not gotten sick since I started using this product about 2 to 3x week for a month and also I have not really been affected by allergies during spring pollen season.

I purchased this on the recommendation of a good friend after having two very bad colds in a short period of time. So far I have stayed well with many sick around me. Seems everyone has had a cold or flu every where I've gone for the last few months!!
5.0 - Great for cold and flu season!
Our whole family takes this daily in the fall/winter/spring months. It works great to combat and lessen the time/severity of colds and flu. I just wish Amazon would have this on subscribe and save!

5.0 - I reiterate all the good things you see on other reviews
I reiterate all the good things you see on other reviews. This is miracle syrup when it comes to fighting cold and flue.
4.0 - Solid brand w/ research to back it up
I have used Gaia for many years -- my first experience was with their Elderberry which came in a different form, more like a dissolving tab. The syrup form is a bit more messy but tastes more potent or concentrated, almost like a tomato paste. I went a full winter without getting sick the last time I stuck to a daily dose of the elderberry, and since trying the syrup have not suffered too badly during this allergy season. Highly recommend for boosting immunity, especially in those hours when you feel on the verge of getting cold or flu.
5.0 - The real deal.
Great product! Very similar to the expensive stuff from a naturopath. Tastes great and I notice an improvement in cold and flu symptoms when taking this.
5.0 - It's a must have during cold and flu season!
This stuff works!
5.0 - Delicious and effective immune booster!
This is a great item to have in your remedy cupboard, if you don't already use it on a daily basis to boost your immune response during the winter months. Elderberry has been researched in Europe and Israel, and proven to be effective in helping fight a cold or flu and shorten the duration of the illness. The syrup is very flavorful and pleasantly sweet. It contains a small amount of sugar, but not corn syrup. If you don't want to take it by the spoonful directly, it is delicious mixed with a half cup of cold water. Or, it is very soothing mixed with a half a cup of hot water. I've tried other brands, and Gaia is very fresh tasting, and works as well as the brand that has been on the market for years. It's wonderful when a simple, natural remedy actually works!

5.0 - Highly Recommend
great immune support- haven't been ill all winter . Did not get a flu shot this last fall -used black elderberry syrup for immune support.
5.0 - ... away from natural remedy and rely on UN-natural medicine like thera-flu, vicks
Why oh why do we move away from natural remedy and rely on UN-natural medicine like thera-flu, vicks, nyquil? I keep needing to use this and feel miserable. This is the first cold season that I have had without a flu, cough or cold and I just used Elderberry. I typically end up with 5-6 colds/year because our family is always on the move. Finally a secret weapon to fight from a stale environment we have in winters (Portland, Or - never too cold or never too warm, lots of active bacteria).
4.0 - The taste is good, not too sweet
The taste is good, not too sweet. I'm not sure if it helped shorten the sickness, but this year's flu season has been rough. However, I liked that I was able to take this and feel like I was doing SOMETHING to improve my health. I'll keep taking it whenever I feel a sickness coming on...hopefully over time, I'll notice a difference.
5.0 - prevents and minimizes illnesses!
Our pediatrician recommended this as a preventative measure for my kids during cold/flu season, and it worked great! The most my kids got last winter was a mild cold, and this was after being exposed to the flu/colds in school. I told a friend who has been taking it since last year and said she was the only one in her office that did not get the flu (and she gets sick easily due to her asthma). Worth every penny!
5.0 - Keep on hand
This is great to have on hand to take at the first sign of a cold or flu.
5.0 - Helpful cold and flu remedy and immune system booster
I had picked this up at Whole Foods initially when it was featured, I saw it and remembered hearing Dr. Oz on one of his shows had recommended elderberry as a remedy to help shorten colds and the flu. One evening I became congested and had other cold-like symptoms and worried I was in for a bout of being sick, so decided to try it. I woke up relieved of all symptoms, which I found amazing. I did some subsequent research and discovered it is even effective against H1N1. Good stuff!
4.0 - Great for stubborn long problems
This stuff is really good for respiratory conditions. If you have a chronic bronchitis, or a long cold or flu that will not go away, definitely give this a try.
5.0 - best product ever! :)
I highly recommend this product! It has gotten my family safely through years of cold and flu season! We keep it in stock at all times!
5.0 - I will not be without this product in my home!
I have sent this product to my loved ones and I will not be without it for even one day! I do not take it every day, just when I'm feeling a bit under the weather. Then, one teaspoon sets me right. It is truly amazing! Loaded with natural vitamin C it just whacks the heck out of any bug trying to get a hold. I don't get flu shots, and I don't do pharmaceuticals -- I have my home health larder of this product, berberine blend, and a few other natural immune boosters and antibiotics, and it serves me very well. PLUS it is delicious and safe for children as well. I am 64 and happy to say healthy!!
4.0 - Gaia tasted best of the 3 brands we tried.
My family started taking elderberry syrup in hopes of avoiding the flu or getting a milder case of the flu if it happens. We bought 3 different brands. This Gaia, Sambuccol and Wild Woman Naturals. Of the three we tried this was our favorite. The Sambuccol is too sweet and a dose is 2 teaspoons. It tastes like there is so much sugar in it, its overwhelming and hard to get down. The Wild Woman Naturals tastes god awful to say the least. I wouldn't even let my kids try that one it was so bad. The Gaia is sweet and reminds me a bit of prune juice, but it doesn't taste bad at all. My 11 year old hates it, but will take it with some begging from his mother, everyone else no problem. I am not ridiculous enough to think that this will prevent us from getting sick this season entirely, but I am hoping for the financial investment I am boosting my families immune system. Fingers crossed.
5.0 - Great cold/flu remedy.
I take this regularly in the winter months and take more of it when someone in the house is ill or I feel ill. My kids will take this right off the spoon since it's based in honey. Great cold/flu remedy. Our home is never without it.
4.0 - Helping cut the duration of my cold
Heard about this from a coworker that swears by it to help boost the immune system during cold and flu season especially. I purchased it because I am sick very often as a result from teaching two year olds so I'm constantly exposed to germs. So I'm not going to lie but the taste is very bitter to me, some people say they like it. I myself am not a fan. I had the idea to mix it into a glass of apple juice to mask the taste which seems to help with the taste quite a bit. So I've only been on this for a month and did have a cold but I feel that the duration of the cold was a lot shorter than it usually is.
5.0 - good seller
bought this item based on other reviews to help build immune system during cold and flu season it works and taste good also
5.0 - Amazing impact on our health!
We started taking this product to prevent flu, colds, etc., and wound up taking it every day. We have found that it has definitely boosted our immunity. Everyone we have recommended it to has also found it has absolutely made them feel better very quickly if they were just coming down with something. They were totally shocked at the quick response/improvement to their health! We swear by it!!! Wouldn't be without it in our house.
5.0 - you are better off with the Organic Gaia brand
Our lives are vastly improved by using this product. The sugars at 4 grams per tsp are less than in any other Elderberry product and using less tsp - two a day- with GAIA compared to 14 grams per tsp and taking 8 tsp a day with the other product, you are better off with the Organic Gaia brand. We have used this product for the past year... and it was the only thing to knock out a bad case of bronchitis for me. This summer we both had colds and using it cuts the length of the cold down for each of us to four days or less and the cold was less severe. If you google this product you will find it also helps with flus and other viruses. Maintenance dose is 1 tsp a day if you are in need and then if you do catch something it ups to a second tsp. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Has already helped me avoid one cold, and shortened the duration of one I wasn't able to completely avoid. I normally get colds that last for 2-3 weeks with a horrible barking cough, but taking this has made a huge difference. I had a cold this past week, took this twice a day, and it was basically gone within 5 days with no chronic cough. I've also been giving it to my daughter to support her immune health, and to help support us both through this cold/flu season.
5.0 - Must have to keep illnesses away!
We prefer the gummies. This stuff taste pretty awful. I'm sure it works the same. It's a must have during cold/flu season.
5.0 - Delicious...and works.
I've taken this once a day all through the fall and winter for the past 3 years. I have not had a cold or flu in all this time, and I do not get the flu vaccine. I work in a hospital and I am therefore exposed to many people...this product keep my immune system strong. It tastes delicious and this is the best price I have found. If taken once a day a 5.4 oz. bottle will last 1 month. Highly recommended.

Helps keep Colds and flu away. Will definitely buy again.
5.0 - It works! I have not gotten the flu despite everyone else getting it!
This is by far the best elderberry syrup on the market for potency and for taste. I work as an ER nurse and everyone has been coming in with the flu. I had a patient that we didn’t know had the flu and he was coughing in my face prior to us finding out. I bought this syrup and didn’t get the flu. I bought more on amazon because I loved it so much! It’s also way cheaper than Whole Foods! Great buy!
5.0 - Helps with keeping my kids healthy during cold/flu season!!
love this!! My daughter started taking this almost daily in February 2018 at about 18 months old, about 22lbs. we discussed using it with our pediatrician before hand and received their blessing. I would talk with your child's doctor before administering. My daughter goes to day care full time and was just always getting upper respiratory colds. we started giving this to her almost daily and it worked so well!! i was so shocked!! Shes been sick with colds/random virsus maybe twice since february. Worked great during cold/flu season! if she got a cold, it was for a day or two and then she was fine! She has had other viruses (HFM and roseolla, but i dont think really anything can protect kids from those). now that its summer we haven't been giving it to her, but plan to once fall/winter comes. it is VERY sweet and my daughter wouldn't take it directly, so we ended up putting it in her milk. didnt really impact the taste of the milk though, so thats worked for us. If you kiddos are constantly sick with colds/viruses, try this!! (after talking to your doctor ;) ), it worked really really well! I wish i knew about it sooner!!

5.0 - I keep a bottle on hand and this has been the best brand for us
This is a must for cold and flu we have used it for years. I keep a bottle on hand and this has been the best brand for us. Also works amazing for dogs with kennel cough which is how I first found it. Cured her in 2 days.
5.0 - This stuff is amazing!
This is concentrated elderberry syrup and well worth the cost. It helps boost your immune system in general. However, we take this mainly in the winter months when it's cold/flu season. We take it as a preventative and the up the dose when we feel something coming on, or are in the midst of it.

Great taste and got rid of my flu symptoms in a couple of days.

Simply Awesome! Thank you . I haven’t been sick , no colds and no flu for last two years since using this product:)

We have used this brand of Elderberry Syrup for years. The kids love it and we use it as an added immune system booster. My daughter was diagnosed with the flu last winter and I gave her a spoonful every hour. She was back to herself in less than 36 hours. Absolutely wonderful.
5.0 - One of my favorite cold and flu remedies
We use this anytime we get sick, and I really believe it helps! I couldn't be without it.
5.0 - Very good!
I am very satisfied with this product. I have used the syrup either straight or mixed. I have taken a teaspoonful straight and it tastes pretty good and not too sweet. I have mixed a teaspoonful with 8 to 12 oz Perrier carbonated water for a kind of healthy soda (non sugary, more like elderberry essence soda water) with a very nice deep purple color due to the concentrated syrup. I cannot speak much to its use as a cough syrup/suppressant or for cold prevention since it is not currently the cold & flu season. It may boost the immune system since I have not gotten sick since I started using this product about 2 to 3x week for a month and also I have not really been affected by allergies during spring pollen season.
5.0 - Gaia Herbs Black Elderberry Nighttime Syrup, 5.4 Ounce
I love this nighttime syrup when I have a cold or flu symptoms. Enables me to sleep all night with little to no coughing. A real life and sleep saver for sure! Keep it on hand for when you need it.
5.0 - Delicious and effective immune booster!
This is a great item to have in your remedy cupboard, if you don't already use it on a daily basis to boost your immune response during the winter months. Elderberry has been researched in Europe and Israel, and proven to be effective in helping fight a cold or flu and shorten the duration of the illness. The syrup is very flavorful and pleasantly sweet. It contains a small amount of sugar, but not corn syrup. If you don't want to take it by the spoonful directly, it is delicious mixed with a half cup of cold water. Or, it is very soothing mixed with a half a cup of hot water. I've tried other brands, and Gaia is very fresh tasting, and works as well as the brand that has been on the market for years. It's wonderful when a simple, natural remedy actually works!

This product stops viruses from multiplying. It’s extremely helpful for cold sores. You may need to take it right away and sometimes take 2 pills at a time multiple times a day - but it works! Also works for other cold and flu viruses and is much stronger than elderberry syrup.
5.0 - I am so glad my family started taking elderberry syrup
I’m usually skeptical when it comes to supplement and this product change my view completely, I am so glad my family started taking elderberry syrup. My husband got a flu and pneumonia a few weeks ago. Our kids are 2 and 6 yrs old. I was so worried, I wanted to do anything I can try to prevent spreading in the house. None of us got sick at all. Since we started taking this a few weeks ago, we have been surrounded by sick kids and grown ups but thankfully we’re all good. I compared the concentration and dosage with other company’s products and I realized this one looks the best. Very happy and will continue to give kids as daily supplement.
5.0 - Keto-approved! It works and no extra carbs!
I love this stuff. As a pediatric nurse, I take numerous measures to make sure I stay well and don’t bring any illnesses to my patients. One of those measures is a daily dose of high dose elderberry. I used to take Sambucus Immune, but I’ve recently started the keto diet and that particular liquid formula has 8 carbs per serving, so it’s a no go for me (but my daughter stays well on it)! This product is the highest strength I’ve found available in capsule form. I’ve been taking this product over 30 days and during that time, I’ve been in close quarters with several people with viruses like norovirus (stomach flu) and only once did I feel just a little queasy for one afternoon. I took a double dose that night and the next morning I felt at 100%. After that, I go ahead and double up when I’m knowingly around someone sick. Ultimately, I’m very pleased with this product and highly recommend it to anyone.

5.0 - Keep several in stock at home.
This stuff is unbeatable when you feel a cold / flu coming on. We love it.
5.0 - Great Immune Support
This product is a must-have during flu season. I use both the Gaia Elderberry syrup (sometimes) and the Gaia capsules when I'm traveling. I swear by Elderberry. I've been so exposed to colds and flu that I was just SURE I'd likely get sick. But this stuff is the best. If you even FEEL a slight tickle, starting taking elderberry syrup and it seems to work great on the chest. Stick with it 3-4 times per day and it seems to eliminate or reduce symptoms until your own immunes can take over and kick it. I like the syrup for actual symptoms and the capsules for an every other day alternative.
4.0 - Amazing taste
I'm disappointed this item didn't appear on Vine until after the cold/flu season because I would've loved to compare it to standard OTC medicines. So I cannot speak as to whether it's comparable or even works in that regard. After reading about its benefits online, I do plan to put it to the test this coming winter. It is more expensive than standard cold/flu medicines, but it being organic and all-natural helps offset its price. My son is prone to respiratory ailments so to me it's worth a try.
5.0 - GREAT PRODUCT!
Have not tried it yet but know it works to get rid of what ails you. The next cold or flu that comes around I will be taking it for sure. Great product!

I'LL HIT EM HARD WHEN I FEEL SOMETHING COMING ON-SEEMS TO WORK FOR ME!
5.0 - Great stuff!
After hearing so many good things about elderberry syrup I decided to try this product. We didn’t have the flu but I ordered it incase we got it this season with our 2 school aged boys. I opened it and used it whenever someone started getting a cold and the symptoms would go away by the next day at best or become more mild at least. And It tastes good. Kinda like blackberry jam. Not overly sugary like other brands. My kids love it. I will keep a bottle of this product on hand for our high risk times of year from now on. Wish the price would go back down tho!!
5.0 - It really does seem to work like everyone says! Hard to believe, but it proved to be true!
The flu this season, 17-18, has been one of the worst. My 17 months old and I ended up getting sick for now over a month... mine turned worse into an uncontrollable bronchial asthma. I’ve been on OTC and doctor prescribed meds. Finally had to succumb and take significant dose of steroids for 5 days... in the mean time, I’ve heard so much about this elderberry syrup by so many. So I ordered it. It arrived 2 full-days after I got off steroid and I was still struggling with inflammation with breathing issues. On the third day after the steroids, I went to acupuncture treatment and took this syrup twice with other herbal meds for cough and asthma. I actually slept that night and woke up with significantly less inflammation in my chest. My daughter, who had runny nose for a month, literally stopped having runny nose. She did take herbal meds for about a week. Fast forward one week later, my asthma is under control and my voice is back.
5.0 - Great for cold and flu season!
Our whole family takes this daily in the fall/winter/spring months. It works great to combat and lessen the time/severity of colds and flu. I just wish Amazon would have this on subscribe and save!
5.0 - ... away from natural remedy and rely on UN-natural medicine like thera-flu, vicks
Why oh why do we move away from natural remedy and rely on UN-natural medicine like thera-flu, vicks, nyquil? I keep needing to use this and feel miserable. This is the first cold season that I have had without a flu, cough or cold and I just used Elderberry. I typically end up with 5-6 colds/year because our family is always on the move. Finally a secret weapon to fight from a stale environment we have in winters (Portland, Or - never too cold or never too warm, lots of active bacteria).

5.0 - Kept me from getting sick this winter
This is the first winter I've used Gaia black elderberry syrup on recommendation by a friend and it has saved me and my family from getting sick while many around us was getting the flu. I take 2 teaspoons twice a day when I'm feeling run down or coming down with a sore throat. Literally, we've gone through 4 or 5 bottles of this already this season. Expensive but it is worth not getting sick. Amazon's price for this is a lot cheaper than Whole Foods.

I use this product daily when people around me are experiencing cold/flu season. It also seems to help with my seasonal airborne allergies - I think it provides extra vitamin c in a food form but I am not certified in these areas. I just know it helps.
5.0 - A good idea
I used this after I got the flu - should have bought it before! I can't say definitively that it works, but the research seems positive.
4.0 - Works wonders !
The product is great for staving off the flu. Use it before you travel, by plane, train, or whatever. It will work wonders ! MAKE SURE YOU ORDER and RECEIVE the PLAIN Black Elderberry Syrup if you intend to do any traveling while using this product, or they may send you the "Nighttime Syrup" instead as they did for me! They say they would replace it for half the price but I just kept it as I am not traveling at this time, Only use "Nighttime" at bedtime!!!! Because it will make you groggy!!!!! I would recommend this product. Works wonders!!!!
5.0 - Ward off colds, flu naturally
Black elderberry syrup is one of my go-to items when I feel like I’m coming down with a cold – scratchy throat – sniffle, etc. The quantity provided here is more than enough to get you through cold/flu season or to keep on hand when you need it.
5.0 - So tasty even bears would line up for this!
Two weeks ago I was diagnosed with H1N1 swine flu etc. Someone here had written that the Univ. of Maryland had researched elderberry syrup and that it was the only thing that was having any effect on H1N1. I also read that research and ordered a bottle.When trying it for the very first time, I steeled myself for any sort of bitter taste. It tasted delicious! I didn't have a miraculous healing but I do feel that it helped. I especially like that it's packed with vitamin C, NO PRESERVATIVES, and NO HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP. It is 100 % elderberry syrup/juice and it was really GOOD. I quadrupled the serving amount in order to let it really pack a punch to the virus. This is my second bottle.
5.0 - Love this product.
Good for colds and flu but I also used it when my daughter had molluscum contagiousum. I believe it helped clear up the virus faster than it would have if I didn't have it.
4.0 - Works wonders but horrible taste
I love the gaia elderberry syrup and my kids and I have used for several years. It works wonders and really helps boost our immune system during cold/flu season. I bought this Nighttime version by accident the last time I was at the store and just hate it. While it still works well, I can't stand the herbal taste of the "Nighttime" herbs. It is like herbal tea on steroids. My kids won't take it, so I'm stuck using the entire bottle by myself and had to go back to buy them the regular Gaia Elderberry syrup.

I love this product. As a first grade teacher, I'm surrounded by lots of germs. I take a tsb every night to keep myself from catching all the illnesses. Since I have been taking this, I have been able to avoid stomach bugs, flu, and colds.
5.0 - I'm sold.
I ordered this just a few days before my daughter (19 months) ended up with Influenza A despite having a flu shot. I gave her this along with the Tamiflu that was prescribed to her. Her symptoms drastically improved in just a couple of days. I don't know how much of her improvement was because of this and how much was due to the Tamiflu, but it sold me on keeping this as a household staple during cold and flu season!
5.0 - Didn't get the flu
I bought this during flu season. Everyone in my office got the flu. I was around them. I did not get the flu. Just my own personal experience!
4.0 - This elderberry syrup has a great flavor unlike other brands that I've tried
This elderberry syrup has a great flavor unlike other brands that I've tried. Other brands have been very potent. This one I can take a spoonful by itself without having to mix with something else. It has proven to be helpful for me and my husband during flu season this year.

Great trusted brand. A little pricey but convenient. Helps so much when taken properly. Natural cold and flu fighter. Tastes great too!
5.0 - Very Helpful for Nighttime Cough and Immune Boost
My children were hit with a serious cold/flu thanks to flu vaccinated grandparents "shedding". I know this was the source because I homeschool and my children don't go to daycare. My parents went to the doctor to get antibiotics but my children were given Black Elderberry Syrup, Black Elderberry NightTime Syrup, vitamins, tea (lemon, honey and a little salt) and a small spoonful of diced garlic and honey. My children recovered within two weeks (that's how nasty the bug was) my parents were sick for nearly a month with the cough lingering even longer.
5.0 - Wow. Wow. Wow. Use this!
When my daughter and wife were flat on their back this past winter with multiple horrific bouts of the flu, I thought I was in the clear. Then one day, as they were nearing the end of their ordeal, I developed the same symptoms they'd had at the start ... and that evening I had a freight train of a fever accompanied by shakes. I knew I was about to get slammed with what they had.
5.0 - Our immune system Buddy!
I have been using this supplement for almost 2 yes now and I am a true believer in black elderberry syrup. I first came across the benefits of this supplements when I was looking for a viral blocker and thru research I found out how black elderberry was used in the 90's to fight the flu epidemic in Panama so I started taking it and giving it to my children during flu season and I haven't stopped since then. I then started following a Holistic Pediatrician blog and he too recommends it for children who are fighting colds and flu or just to keep their immune system going strong. I personally use it as a daily immune system booster but I'm not a Dr, this is just what I do and it has worked. Do your research on black elderberry and when you are ready to buy it look no more, Gaia Herbs is one of the best supplemets manufacturers out there and it's also Organic where very few other ones are.
5.0 - Most useful, highest quality and most potent formula I have tried. By far!
This elderberry concentrate is super potent. Its not in the same class with others. I have tried several other brands from the local vitamin store. This one is far more effective. At the very first sign of illness, usually in the evening, I take a teaspoon of this with other immune boosting herbs. I follow up the next day with three more doses. This has been sufficient to ward off Col, flu, and other seasonal and travelers illnesses. I take it with me everywhere I travel. Its part of my first aid kit.
5.0 - Awesome stuff
I started taking this every day during the cold and flu season this year and I have yet to get sick with anything. I would always get at least a cold in the past years, haven't changed anything else but taking this syrup this year so I believe it is working!

5.0 - Immune system
I am a healthcare worker and have dealt with the flu for 30 + years now. This product is amazing. My 14 month old nephew tested positive for the flu this season. Fever over 100 and upper respiratory symptoms. His mother chose not to give him Tamiflu after reading the side effects. She used your product. He was fever free and back to playing and eating within 3 days. It is a thick syrup that almost reminds me of jam! Yum. When I feel like i may be catching cold or worse I take a dose just for prevention and must say i have yet to be sick.
5.0 - Used to be my favorite go to for flu and colds
I will say this used to be my favorite brand. They recently have made a change to it and I swear I think it's in my head but it just doesn't seem to work like the old kind did. The old one had 11 50 mg per one or two capsules and looked like it had Berry pulp inside this is some sort of freeze-dried? Stuff in the capsule and I went through a whole bottle and didn't get better. Usually I can take them for a couple days and it knocks out my flu for years I have sworn by this stuff and told everyone that will listen to get it and try it. I sure hope it's not the change in the method or the delivery of how it's stored in the capsule now but I can't figure out what else it could be? It's supposed to be extremely potent even though it looks to be less milk mg because it's a concentrated version It's supposed to actually be more milligrams than the previous? Got to say I'm discouraged. Not sure if it's all in my head but usually when I take it for a week it knocks out whatever I have and this time it did not. May have to look for a new product after this that's my go-to for sinus cold and flu super bummed.
5.0 - Amazing impact on our health!
We started taking this product to prevent flu, colds, etc., and wound up taking it every day. We have found that it has definitely boosted our immunity. Everyone we have recommended it to has also found it has absolutely made them feel better very quickly if they were just coming down with something. They were totally shocked at the quick response/improvement to their health! We swear by it!!! Wouldn't be without it in our house.

4.0 - Seems to work, bad taste!
In my quest to find something to prevent my annual bout with the flu, I decided to try this syrup. First off, it tastes pretty bad. It's sour but not in a good way, with a kind of vomit aftertaste. But, what's a bad taste compared to the flu? Feeling myself getting a cold, I started taking this and I got better rather quickly, and symptoms were not as severe as usual. Whether it's truly the syrup or a placebo effect, I don't know, but honestly I don't really think it matters as long as I'm seeing results. I will continue taking it, in the hope I can escape my annual visitor this year.

5.0 - A Must-Have During the Flu Season
I've been taking this daily this winter and I must say I haven't gotten any colds thus far. When working an an open environment with many people ill with colds and flu, I have to say this product has contributed to strengthening my immune system. Thank goodness kids can take this as well. My daughter takes it daily as well. And must I say, no colds this year for her as well! I highly recommend taking this product. This is now a must-have every year in my home!

My family survives off of this. It makes the cold and flu season easier to deal with for all ages.
4.0 - Good value, simple ingredient list, and actually works but the full dose causes stomach upset
I'm normally a skeptic about products like this, but this has really helped me this past cold/flu season. It is higher quality than other elderberry products I have tried and also seems to work better than others. I love the simple ingredient list, which is pretty hard to find in an elderberry product. It is only concentrated elderberry, concentrated acerola fruit, sugar cane juice, water, and lemon juice. Many other elderberry products have echinacea, more sugar, or other added ingredients. I keep it in the fridge, have a teaspoon a day as soon as I feel that throat tickle or the kids get a cold, and I either don't get sick at all or have fewer and less severe symptoms.
5.0 - A staple in our house
I love love love this stuff!!!! We always have it on hand. When any sickness is going around, when we start to feel sick, or after large gatherings during the flu season this is a must. I swear by this stuff. It works and it tastes fantastic. I have tried other brands of elderberry syrup and they taste gross, with a chemical after taste. I only buy Gaia elder berry syrup. I was able to combat the flu season in my family because of it. My 4 yr old actually likes taking it because it tastes so good.
5.0 - Love it !!!
Gaia Herbs Black Elderberry Syrup is great. Our whole family loves it including the kids. It tastes like nice ,fresh berry, juice. We have been taking it for awhile now and have not been sick so I guess it is working to boost our immunity.Time will tell when flu season rolls around.I love it and will buy another bottle when this one runs out.

5.0 - Kept my colds at bay all winter
I don't pop vitamins all day or believe I can stop a cold with herbs. But I noticed this product smack in the middle of cold and flu season here in the Northeast and ordered it. The next day (seriously) I felt crappy and was sure I was getting sick. So I tried the elderberry syrup--and I admit I took a little more than the recommended dose. The next day, I felt fine but took it again just to be safe (regular dose this time). And that threatening cold never developed. I was 100 percent fine. Coincidence? Possibly. But I've used it a few more times, always wth the same result. I'm not saying It's a cure-all. But it sure helped keep me healthy this past winter.

In the past, I have always found this effective during cold and flu season. It stopped the chronic sinusitis I used to have. Now I am very disturbed that the larger bottle of the syrup has disappeared and the general supply of the syrup has dwindled. Now there is tremendous price gouging going on for the syrup that is left. As a result those of us that have come to rely on this syrup to boost our immunity are left in the lurch. What is going on?

5.0 - great product
I always look for natural remedies and methods to cure or prevent ailments. In the past I have made my own black elderberry syrup, but in my current location elderberries are not available. Or, I should say, I have had trouble buying them. This is a great alternative to making your own. My family has been healthy and avoided the colds and flu since taking elderberry syrup. Highly recommend!
5.0 - Awesome
Great size, reasonably priced & very concentrated so not as much needed. Whenever any of us get sick I start the sick person on 1 tsp every 2 hours. Usually knocks out cold/cough/fever/flu within 12 hours. I mix w/ juice or gatorade but can be taken alone as well.
5.0 - HIGHLY recommend!!
This is the only syrup my 18 month old will take. It really does work to help his immune system! (Knock on wood) hasn't been sick once this cold/flu season. HIGHLY recommend!!
5.0 - Amazing stuff
I'm a registered nurse, and often skeptic when it comes to homeopathic remedies. Everyone at work was coming down with flu-like symptoms and colds. I woke up with a horrible sore throat, and started taking a generous teaspoon of this stuff 2x/day. Three days later: sore throat is almost healed and NO nasal symptoms. This stuff literally stopped a nasty cold in its tracks. I made my husband take it as a preventative, as well. Truly works!!!
5.0 - Excellent product
Like this product very much during winter cold & flu season as it seems to head off whatever one thinks they are coming down with. Tastes
5.0 - Happy! No more over the counter BS
It's flu season and I felt it coming many many times. I've taken this syrup twice a day and the symptoms disappears! Happy !No more over the counter BS
5.0 - BETTER THAN A FLU SHOT
A couple of years ago I wound up in the hospital with a flu bug after fainting and hitting my head ala Hillary Clinton. NOT wanting to repeat that experience, but wary of flu shots safety and efficacy, I started looking for holistic approaches to building my immune system. I now have a mighty cadre in my home medicine chest but the star among them is this elderberry syrup. I am 63 and it is gentle on my system, totally reliable to beat back whatever when I feel something coming on, and it tastes absolutely delightful! I trust the Gaia brand, so this is a no brainer. Even sent the children's version to my granddaughter.
5.0 - so good!
Use to prevent colds & flu. So far, so good!
5.0 - My Pow-Wow Grandmom recommends....
My German grandmother practiced pow-wow (us Pennsylvania Dutch called it "brauche", which means "need"). This is a type of faith healing, mixed in with herbal remedies. If any of her kids got sick, she wouldn't go get a doctor, because "they bury their mistakes". Instead, she'd go to one of those old family owned drug stores, and buy Elderberry Syrup. It was thought to drive away the symptoms of flu, help with coughs, and work as a general tonic, for spring cleaning of the body. Most Germans, and central Europeans, still use it like that today. I never saw it for sale, until I saw it for sale here on Amazon.
5.0 - While everyone around us was dropping like flies, we remained healthy and never slowed down
I refuse to be without this stuff during cold and flu season. While everyone around us was dropping like flies, we remained healthy and never slowed down! It doesn't taste bad, either...very sweet...but there were no complaints from my sweet tooth kiddos!

I purchased this on the recommendation of a good friend after having two very bad colds in a short period of time. So far I have stayed well with many sick around me. Seems everyone has had a cold or flu every where I've gone for the last few months!!
5.0 - My kids and I have been taking this for about ...
My kids and I have been taking this for about two weeks now. My 3 year old son is in daycare and my 11 year old daughter is in 5th grade. My daughter came home Friday with a stuffed up nose and a cough. I immediately gave her a dose of this syrup. I had been giving it every other day. She got a dose Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The cough and stuffiness generally subsided. She went to school Monday with no problems. I'm attributing her getting over whatever she had (even if it was just a common cold) so fast to the Elderberry. This child is a former preemie who has had multiple surgeries and suffers from respiratory issues every winter!! The 2017-2018 flu season is running RAMPANT and I wanted to do everything I could to protect her!
5.0 - This really works. My husband and I was so ...
This really works. My husband and I was so sick with the flu and this really broke up all the congestion in our chest. I won't be without it in the future.
5.0 - I reiterate all the good things you see on other reviews
I reiterate all the good things you see on other reviews. This is miracle syrup when it comes to fighting cold and flue.
5.0 - The real deal.
Great product! Very similar to the expensive stuff from a naturopath. Tastes great and I notice an improvement in cold and flu symptoms when taking this.
5.0 - Truly works
I use this product all through the winter with both my children to keep their immune system strong and resistant to flu and cold viruses. This is a very good way to fight those germs and I use it even for myself if I feel like I am coming down with something. I would and have been recommending this to friends and family!
5.0 - It's a must have during cold and flu season!

This is the only brand of Elderberry that keeps my family and myself healthy so we never get colds, flu or allergy symptoms
5.0 - Want to fight the flu?
This is the medicine if you dont like taking chemicals. Took this after having two rounds of antibiotics and i was better in a week. Then I kept taking it to fight sickness coming back around.
5.0 - Highly Recommend
great immune support- haven't been ill all winter . Did not get a flu shot this last fall -used black elderberry syrup for immune support.
4.0 - The taste is good, not too sweet
The taste is good, not too sweet. I'm not sure if it helped shorten the sickness, but this year's flu season has been rough. However, I liked that I was able to take this and feel like I was doing SOMETHING to improve my health. I'll keep taking it whenever I feel a sickness coming on...hopefully over time, I'll notice a difference.
5.0 - prevents and minimizes illnesses!
Our pediatrician recommended this as a preventative measure for my kids during cold/flu season, and it worked great! The most my kids got last winter was a mild cold, and this was after being exposed to the flu/colds in school. I told a friend who has been taking it since last year and said she was the only one in her office that did not get the flu (and she gets sick easily due to her asthma). Worth every penny!
5.0 - Keep on hand
This is great to have on hand to take at the first sign of a cold or flu.
5.0 - good seller
bought this item based on other reviews to help build immune system during cold and flu season it works and taste good also
5.0 - Helpful cold and flu remedy and immune system booster
I had picked this up at Whole Foods initially when it was featured, I saw it and remembered hearing Dr. Oz on one of his shows had recommended elderberry as a remedy to help shorten colds and the flu. One evening I became congested and had other cold-like symptoms and worried I was in for a bout of being sick, so decided to try it. I woke up relieved of all symptoms, which I found amazing. I did some subsequent research and discovered it is even effective against H1N1. Good stuff!
4.0 - Great for stubborn long problems
This stuff is really good for respiratory conditions. If you have a chronic bronchitis, or a long cold or flu that will not go away, definitely give this a try.
5.0 - Five Stars
Best supplement for keeping colds & flu away when taken regularly
5.0 - best product ever! :)
I highly recommend this product! It has gotten my family safely through years of cold and flu season! We keep it in stock at all times!
5.0 - I will not be without this product in my home!
I have sent this product to my loved ones and I will not be without it for even one day! I do not take it every day, just when I'm feeling a bit under the weather. Then, one teaspoon sets me right. It is truly amazing! Loaded with natural vitamin C it just whacks the heck out of any bug trying to get a hold. I don't get flu shots, and I don't do pharmaceuticals -- I have my home health larder of this product, berberine blend, and a few other natural immune boosters and antibiotics, and it serves me very well. PLUS it is delicious and safe for children as well. I am 64 and happy to say healthy!!
5.0 - My bff this time of year!
This is wonderful. My friend had bought me some and I now get it here on Amazon. The taste isn't too bad too. It doesn't bother my heartburn/reflux at all, but it does hit you a little sweet and a little sour. Maybe eat something before and/or after. Most importantly though, I feel it really is great to boost your immune system and knock out illnesses. From my experience - I started feeling like I got hit by a bus out of nowhere, I immediately started taking some (I actually doubled up the recommended dose and took it like a cough syrup - not recommended for all.) for the first two days and honestly, it knocked it right out of my system! I work in an Urgent Care so I'm surrounded by colds etc. This helps, especially during this season to combat it. I take it regularly (normal dosage) to prevent any bugs and beef up my immune system too throughout the year. I highly recommend trying it and wanted to make sure I do write a review. :) As a frequent Amazon user and consumer/shopper in general, I always appreciate reading some reviews before buying a product! So, here you go! Wonderful product and you can even track where your herbs come from. Haven't tried it, but I think that's pretty cool. Take care!
4.0 - Gaia tasted best of the 3 brands we tried.
My family started taking elderberry syrup in hopes of avoiding the flu or getting a milder case of the flu if it happens. We bought 3 different brands. This Gaia, Sambuccol and Wild Woman Naturals. Of the three we tried this was our favorite. The Sambuccol is too sweet and a dose is 2 teaspoons. It tastes like there is so much sugar in it, its overwhelming and hard to get down. The Wild Woman Naturals tastes god awful to say the least. I wouldn't even let my kids try that one it was so bad. The Gaia is sweet and reminds me a bit of prune juice, but it doesn't taste bad at all. My 11 year old hates it, but will take it with some begging from his mother, everyone else no problem. I am not ridiculous enough to think that this will prevent us from getting sick this season entirely, but I am hoping for the financial investment I am boosting my families immune system. Fingers crossed.
5.0 - Great cold/flu remedy.
I take this regularly in the winter months and take more of it when someone in the house is ill or I feel ill. My kids will take this right off the spoon since it's based in honey. Great cold/flu remedy. Our home is never without it.
4.0 - Helping cut the duration of my cold
Heard about this from a coworker that swears by it to help boost the immune system during cold and flu season especially. I purchased it because I am sick very often as a result from teaching two year olds so I'm constantly exposed to germs. So I'm not going to lie but the taste is very bitter to me, some people say they like it. I myself am not a fan. I had the idea to mix it into a glass of apple juice to mask the taste which seems to help with the taste quite a bit. So I've only been on this for a month and did have a cold but I feel that the duration of the cold was a lot shorter than it usually is.
5.0 - Five Stars
No flu for me this flu season.
5.0 - They love it (but they are so used to it
I would never ever go through a flu season with out this liquid gold!!! Seriously. My kids take a 1/2 tsp every night for immune boosting. If they are starting a cold they get it 2x a day.
5.0 - you are better off with the Organic Gaia brand
Our lives are vastly improved by using this product. The sugars at 4 grams per tsp are less than in any other Elderberry product and using less tsp - two a day- with GAIA compared to 14 grams per tsp and taking 8 tsp a day with the other product, you are better off with the Organic Gaia brand. We have used this product for the past year... and it was the only thing to knock out a bad case of bronchitis for me. This summer we both had colds and using it cuts the length of the cold down for each of us to four days or less and the cold was less severe. If you google this product you will find it also helps with flus and other viruses. Maintenance dose is 1 tsp a day if you are in need and then if you do catch something it ups to a second tsp. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
5.0 - Great product
I swear by this stuff during cold and flu season. It also helps me to sleep. And it tastes really good, almost like a dessert topping! It does come out very thick after it is refrigerated. I have experienced zero negative side effects, although if you took it during the day time, it might make you drowsy. I will continue to buy it as long as Gaia keeps making it.

5.0 - Elderberry syrup was recommended by the urgent care I visited for flu symptoms
Elderberry syrup was recommended by the urgent care I visited for flu symptoms. I keep it on hand year round.
5.0 - Love this product!
Has already helped me avoid one cold, and shortened the duration of one I wasn't able to completely avoid. I normally get colds that last for 2-3 weeks with a horrible barking cough, but taking this has made a huge difference. I had a cold this past week, took this twice a day, and it was basically gone within 5 days with no chronic cough. I've also been giving it to my daughter to support her immune health, and to help support us both through this cold/flu season.
5.0 - Must have to keep illnesses away!
We prefer the gummies. This stuff taste pretty awful. I'm sure it works the same. It's a must have during cold/flu season.
5.0 - Boosts immunity and our saviour
We have been using this syrup for my little one ever since she was 15 months old and now one year later, I know for sure that she has shown improved immunity and doesn't fall sick with viral fevers as often as she used to in the past flu season. When she does fall I'll, she has been able to bounce back faster.
5.0 - Keto-approved! It works and no extra carbs!
I love this stuff. As a pediatric nurse, I take numerous measures to make sure I stay well and don’t bring any illnesses to my patients. One of those measures is a daily dose of high dose elderberry. I used to take Sambucus Immune, but I’ve recently started the keto diet and that particular liquid formula has 8 carbs per serving, so it’s a no go for me (but my daughter stays well on it)! This product is the highest strength I’ve found available in capsule form. I’ve been taking this product over 30 days and during that time, I’ve been in close quarters with several people with viruses like norovirus (stomach flu) and only once did I feel just a little queasy for one afternoon. I took a double dose that night and the next morning I felt at 100%. After that, I go ahead and double up when I’m knowingly around someone sick. Ultimately, I’m very pleased with this product and highly recommend it to anyone.

I recommend this brand of Elderberry syrup to all my friends to fend off colds and flu. A little pricy, but so worth it.
5.0 - Five Stars
Helps keep Colds and flu away. Will definitely buy again.
5.0 - It works! I have not gotten the flu despite everyone else getting it!
This is by far the best elderberry syrup on the market for potency and for taste. I work as an ER nurse and everyone has been coming in with the flu. I had a patient that we didn’t know had the flu and he was coughing in my face prior to us finding out. I bought this syrup and didn’t get the flu. I bought more on amazon because I loved it so much! It’s also way cheaper than Whole Foods! Great buy!
5.0 - Helps with keeping my kids healthy during cold/flu season!!
love this!! My daughter started taking this almost daily in February 2018 at about 18 months old, about 22lbs. we discussed using it with our pediatrician before hand and received their blessing. I would talk with your child's doctor before administering. My daughter goes to day care full time and was just always getting upper respiratory colds. we started giving this to her almost daily and it worked so well!! i was so shocked!! Shes been sick with colds/random virsus maybe twice since february. Worked great during cold/flu season! if she got a cold, it was for a day or two and then she was fine! She has had other viruses (HFM and roseolla, but i dont think really anything can protect kids from those). now that its summer we haven't been giving it to her, but plan to once fall/winter comes. it is VERY sweet and my daughter wouldn't take it directly, so we ended up putting it in her milk. didnt really impact the taste of the milk though, so thats worked for us. If you kiddos are constantly sick with colds/viruses, try this!! (after talking to your doctor ;) ), it worked really really well! I wish i knew about it sooner!!

haven't been sick since using it 1 to 2 times/day during flu season!
5.0 - I keep a bottle on hand and this has been the best brand for us
This is a must for cold and flu we have used it for years. I keep a bottle on hand and this has been the best brand for us. Also works amazing for dogs with kennel cough which is how I first found it. Cured her in 2 days.
5.0 - This stuff is amazing!
This is concentrated elderberry syrup and well worth the cost. It helps boost your immune system in general. However, we take this mainly in the winter months when it's cold/flu season. We take it as a preventative and the up the dose when we feel something coming on, or are in the midst of it.
5.0 - Simply Awesome! Thank you
Simply Awesome! Thank you . I haven’t been sick , no colds and no flu for last two years since using this product:)
5.0 - One of my favorite cold and flu remedies
We use this anytime we get sick, and I really believe it helps! I couldn't be without it.
5.0 - Very good!
I am very satisfied with this product. I have used the syrup either straight or mixed. I have taken a teaspoonful straight and it tastes pretty good and not too sweet. I have mixed a teaspoonful with 8 to 12 oz Perrier carbonated water for a kind of healthy soda (non sugary, more like elderberry essence soda water) with a very nice deep purple color due to the concentrated syrup. I cannot speak much to its use as a cough syrup/suppressant or for cold prevention since it is not currently the cold & flu season. It may boost the immune system since I have not gotten sick since I started using this product about 2 to 3x week for a month and also I have not really been affected by allergies during spring pollen season.
5.0 - Gaia Herbs Black Elderberry Nighttime Syrup, 5.4 Ounce
I love this nighttime syrup when I have a cold or flu symptoms. Enables me to sleep all night with little to no coughing. A real life and sleep saver for sure! Keep it on hand for when you need it.
5.0 - Delicious and effective immune booster!
This is a great item to have in your remedy cupboard, if you don't already use it on a daily basis to boost your immune response during the winter months. Elderberry has been researched in Europe and Israel, and proven to be effective in helping fight a cold or flu and shorten the duration of the illness. The syrup is very flavorful and pleasantly sweet. It contains a small amount of sugar, but not corn syrup. If you don't want to take it by the spoonful directly, it is delicious mixed with a half cup of cold water. Or, it is very soothing mixed with a half a cup of hot water. I've tried other brands, and Gaia is very fresh tasting, and works as well as the brand that has been on the market for years. It's wonderful when a simple, natural remedy actually works!
5.0 - No flu!
I've been taking all winter, and no flu, no cold, no sinus trouble. For me? that is amazing.

This product stops viruses from multiplying. It’s extremely helpful for cold sores. You may need to take it right away and sometimes take 2 pills at a time multiple times a day - but it works! Also works for other cold and flu viruses and is much stronger than elderberry syrup.
5.0 - I am so glad my family started taking elderberry syrup
I’m usually skeptical when it comes to supplement and this product change my view completely, I am so glad my family started taking elderberry syrup. My husband got a flu and pneumonia a few weeks ago. Our kids are 2 and 6 yrs old. I was so worried, I wanted to do anything I can try to prevent spreading in the house. None of us got sick at all. Since we started taking this a few weeks ago, we have been surrounded by sick kids and grown ups but thankfully we’re all good. I compared the concentration and dosage with other company’s products and I realized this one looks the best. Very happy and will continue to give kids as daily supplement.
5.0 - It seems to be a great product to boost your immune system

This stuff is unbeatable when you feel a cold / flu coming on. We love it.
4.0 - Amazing taste
I'm disappointed this item didn't appear on Vine until after the cold/flu season because I would've loved to compare it to standard OTC medicines. So I cannot speak as to whether it's comparable or even works in that regard. After reading about its benefits online, I do plan to put it to the test this coming winter. It is more expensive than standard cold/flu medicines, but it being organic and all-natural helps offset its price. My son is prone to respiratory ailments so to me it's worth a try.
5.0 - GREAT PRODUCT!
Have not tried it yet but know it works to get rid of what ails you. The next cold or flu that comes around I will be taking it for sure. Great product!

If taken once a day a 5.4 oz. bottle will last 1 month. Highly recommended.

5.0 - Great stuff!
After hearing so many good things about elderberry syrup I decided to try this product. We didn’t have the flu but I ordered it incase we got it this season with our 2 school aged boys. I opened it and used it whenever someone started getting a cold and the symptoms would go away by the next day at best or become more mild at least. And It tastes good. Kinda like blackberry jam. Not overly sugary like other brands. My kids love it. I will keep a bottle of this product on hand for our high risk times of year from now on. Wish the price would go back down tho!!
5.0 - It really does seem to work like everyone says! Hard to believe, but it proved to be true!
The flu this season, 17-18, has been one of the worst. My 17 months old and I ended up getting sick for now over a month... mine turned worse into an uncontrollable bronchial asthma. I’ve been on OTC and doctor prescribed meds. Finally had to succumb and take significant dose of steroids for 5 days... in the mean time, I’ve heard so much about this elderberry syrup by so many. So I ordered it. It arrived 2 full-days after I got off steroid and I was still struggling with inflammation with breathing issues. On the third day after the steroids, I went to acupuncture treatment and took this syrup twice with other herbal meds for cough and asthma. I actually slept that night and woke up with significantly less inflammation in my chest. My daughter, who had runny nose for a month, literally stopped having runny nose. She did take herbal meds for about a week. Fast forward one week later, my asthma is under control and my voice is back.

5.0 - ... away from natural remedy and rely on UN-natural medicine like thera-flu, vicks
Why oh why do we move away from natural remedy and rely on UN-natural medicine like thera-flu, vicks, nyquil? I keep needing to use this and feel miserable. This is the first cold season that I have had without a flu, cough or cold and I just used Elderberry. I typically end up with 5-6 colds/year because our family is always on the move. Finally a secret weapon to fight from a stale environment we have in winters (Portland, Or - never too cold or never too warm, lots of active bacteria).

5.0 - Kept me from getting sick this winter
This is the first winter I've used Gaia black elderberry syrup on recommendation by a friend and it has saved me and my family from getting sick while many around us was getting the flu. I take 2 teaspoons twice a day when I'm feeling run down or coming down with a sore throat. Literally, we've gone through 4 or 5 bottles of this already this season. Expensive but it is worth not getting sick. Amazon's price for this is a lot cheaper than Whole Foods.
5.0 - Helps with airborne allergies
I use this product daily when people around me are experiencing cold/flu season. It also seems to help with my seasonal airborne allergies - I think it provides extra vitamin c in a food form but I am not certified in these areas. I just know it helps.
4.0 - Works wonders !
The product is great for staving off the flu. Use it before you travel, by plane, train, or whatever. It will work wonders ! MAKE SURE YOU ORDER and RECEIVE the PLAIN Black Elderberry Syrup if you intend to do any traveling while using this product, or they may send you the "Nighttime Syrup" instead as they did for me! They say they would replace it for half the price but I just kept it as I am not traveling at this time, Only use "Nighttime" at bedtime!!!! Because it will make you groggy!!!!! I would recommend this product. Works wonders!!!!
5.0 - Ward off colds, flu naturally
Black elderberry syrup is one of my go-to items when I feel like I’m coming down with a cold – scratchy throat – sniffle, etc. The quantity provided here is more than enough to get you through cold/flu season or to keep on hand when you need it.
5.0 - So tasty even bears would line up for this!
Two weeks ago I was diagnosed with H1N1 swine flu etc. Someone here had written that the Univ. of Maryland had researched elderberry syrup and that it was the only thing that was having any effect on H1N1. I also read that research and ordered a bottle.When trying it for the very first time, I steeled myself for any sort of bitter taste. It tasted delicious! I didn't have a miraculous healing but I do feel that it helped. I especially like that it's packed with vitamin C, NO PRESERVATIVES, and NO HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP. It is 100 % elderberry syrup/juice and it was really GOOD. I quadrupled the serving amount in order to let it really pack a punch to the virus. This is my second bottle.
5.0 - Love this product.
Good for colds and flu but I also used it when my daughter had molluscum contagiousum. I believe it helped clear up the virus faster than it would have if I didn't have it.
4.0 - Works wonders but horrible taste
I love the gaia elderberry syrup and my kids and I have used for several years. It works wonders and really helps boost our immune system during cold/flu season. I bought this Nighttime version by accident the last time I was at the store and just hate it. While it still works well, I can't stand the herbal taste of the "Nighttime" herbs. It is like herbal tea on steroids. My kids won't take it, so I'm stuck using the entire bottle by myself and had to go back to buy them the regular Gaia Elderberry syrup.

This is a great naturopathic way to boost your immune system during cold and flu season. It is easy to take and tastes great! Good for kids and adults.
5.0 - Can't live without
I love this product. As a first grade teacher, I'm surrounded by lots of germs. I take a tsb every night to keep myself from catching all the illnesses. Since I have been taking this, I have been able to avoid stomach bugs, flu, and colds.
5.0 - I'm sold.
I ordered this just a few days before my daughter (19 months) ended up with Influenza A despite having a flu shot. I gave her this along with the Tamiflu that was prescribed to her. Her symptoms drastically improved in just a couple of days. I don't know how much of her improvement was because of this and how much was due to the Tamiflu, but it sold me on keeping this as a household staple during cold and flu season!
5.0 - Didn't get the flu
I bought this during flu season. Everyone in my office got the flu. I was around them. I did not get the flu. Just my own personal experience!
4.0 - This elderberry syrup has a great flavor unlike other brands that I've tried
This elderberry syrup has a great flavor unlike other brands that I've tried. Other brands have been very potent. This one I can take a spoonful by itself without having to mix with something else. It has proven to be helpful for me and my husband during flu season this year.
5.0 - They love it (but they are so used to it
I would never ever go through a flu season with out this liquid gold!!! Seriously. My kids take a 1/2 tsp every night for immune boosting. If they are starting a cold they get it 2x a day.
5.0 - Trusted brand
Great trusted brand. A little pricey but convenient. Helps so much when taken properly. Natural cold and flu fighter. Tastes great too!
5.0 - Very Helpful for Nighttime Cough and Immune Boost
My children were hit with a serious cold/flu thanks to flu vaccinated grandparents "shedding". I know this was the source because I homeschool and my children don't go to daycare. My parents went to the doctor to get antibiotics but my children were given Black Elderberry Syrup, Black Elderberry NightTime Syrup, vitamins, tea (lemon, honey and a little salt) and a small spoonful of diced garlic and honey. My children recovered within two weeks (that's how nasty the bug was) my parents were sick for nearly a month with the cough lingering even longer.
5.0 - Wow. Wow. Wow. Use this!
When my daughter and wife were flat on their back this past winter with multiple horrific bouts of the flu, I thought I was in the clear. Then one day, as they were nearing the end of their ordeal, I developed the same symptoms they'd had at the start ... and that evening I had a freight train of a fever accompanied by shakes. I knew I was about to get slammed with what they had.
5.0 - Most useful, highest quality and most potent formula I have tried. By far!
This elderberry concentrate is super potent. Its not in the same class with others. I have tried several other brands from the local vitamin store. This one is far more effective. At the very first sign of illness, usually in the evening, I take a teaspoon of this with other immune boosting herbs. I follow up the next day with three more doses. This has been sufficient to ward off Col, flu, and other seasonal and travelers illnesses. I take it with me everywhere I travel. Its part of my first aid kit.
5.0 - Awesome stuff
I started taking this every day during the cold and flu season this year and I have yet to get sick with anything. I would always get at least a cold in the past years, haven't changed anything else but taking this syrup this year so I believe it is working!
5.0 - This is the BEST Elderbery Syrup for Increasing Immunity and fighting off colds and flu
I have used store brand, name brand Sanbucol, Sambucus, and NOTHING compares to this.
5.0 - Toddler asks for this every day
This seemed to help us get over the flu quickly. My 2 year old thinks it tastes great!
5.0 - I rarely get cold/flu anymore, maybe once a year if that.
I absolutely love this! I take it once a week or whenever I remember to take it. It keeps the colds/flu away! I always recommend it to my friends/family. Everyone is coughing their lungs out, sickly and I'm just here with a smile on my face, healthy as can be.
5.0 - Immune system
I am a healthcare worker and have dealt with the flu for 30 + years now. This product is amazing. My 14 month old nephew tested positive for the flu this season. Fever over 100 and upper respiratory symptoms. His mother chose not to give him Tamiflu after reading the side effects. She used your product. He was fever free and back to playing and eating within 3 days. It is a thick syrup that almost reminds me of jam! Yum. When I feel like i may be catching cold or worse I take a dose just for prevention and must say i have yet to be sick.
5.0 - Used to be my favorite go to for flu and colds
I will say this used to be my favorite brand. They recently have made a change to it and I swear I think it's in my head but it just doesn't seem to work like the old kind did. The old one had 11 50 mg per one or two capsules and looked like it had Berry pulp inside this is some sort of freeze-dried? Stuff in the capsule and I went through a whole bottle and didn't get better. Usually I can take them for a couple days and it knocks out my flu for years I have sworn by this stuff and told everyone that will listen to get it and try it. I sure hope it's not the change in the method or the delivery of how it's stored in the capsule now but I can't figure out what else it could be? It's supposed to be extremely potent even though it looks to be less milk mg because it's a concentrated version It's supposed to actually be more milligrams than the previous? Got to say I'm discouraged. Not sure if it's all in my head but usually when I take it for a week it knocks out whatever I have and this time it did not. May have to look for a new product after this that's my go-to for sinus cold and flu super bummed.
5.0 - Amazing impact on our health!
We started taking this product to prevent flu, colds, etc., and wound up taking it every day. We have found that it has definitely boosted our immunity. Everyone we have recommended it to has also found it has absolutely made them feel better very quickly if they were just coming down with something. They were totally shocked at the quick response/improvement to their health! We swear by it!!! Wouldn't be without it in our house.
5.0 - Our immune system Buddy!
I have been using this supplement for almost 2 yes now and I am a true believer in black elderberry syrup. I first came across the benefits of this supplements when I was looking for a viral blocker and thru research I found out how black elderberry was used in the 90's to fight the flu epidemic in Panama so I started taking it and giving it to my children during flu season and I haven't stopped since then. I then started following a Holistic Pediatrician blog and he too recommends it for children who are fighting colds and flu or just to keep their immune system going strong. I personally use it as a daily immune system booster but I'm not a Dr, this is just what I do and it has worked. Do your research on black elderberry and when you are ready to buy it look no more, Gaia Herbs is one of the best supplemets manufacturers out there and it's also Organic where very few other ones are.

This is the only effective brand of elderberry, others don't work. This product reduces the duration and severity of colds and flus.
4.0 - Seems to work, bad taste!
In my quest to find something to prevent my annual bout with the flu, I decided to try this syrup. First off, it tastes pretty bad. It's sour but not in a good way, with a kind of vomit aftertaste. But, what's a bad taste compared to the flu? Feeling myself getting a cold, I started taking this and I got better rather quickly, and symptoms were not as severe as usual. Whether it's truly the syrup or a placebo effect, I don't know, but honestly I don't really think it matters as long as I'm seeing results. I will continue taking it, in the hope I can escape my annual visitor this year.

Tastes delicious! Helped keep us healthy through the flu season.
5.0 - Great Immune Support
This product is a must-have during flu season. I use both the Gaia Elderberry syrup (sometimes) and the Gaia capsules when I'm traveling. I swear by Elderberry. I've been so exposed to colds and flu that I was just SURE I'd likely get sick. But this stuff is the best. If you even FEEL a slight tickle, starting taking elderberry syrup and it seems to work great on the chest. Stick with it 3-4 times per day and it seems to eliminate or reduce symptoms until your own immunes can take over and kick it. I like the syrup for actual symptoms and the capsules for an every other day alternative.
5.0 - Took instead of flu shot
While pregnant I refused the flu shot and took elderberry syrup daily instead. Postpartum my husband was sick. I started taking the syrup just in case and was fine.
5.0 - A Must-Have During the Flu Season
I've been taking this daily this winter and I must say I haven't gotten any colds thus far. When working an an open environment with many people ill with colds and flu, I have to say this product has contributed to strengthening my immune system. Thank goodness kids can take this as well. My daughter takes it daily as well. And must I say, no colds this year for her as well! I highly recommend taking this product. This is now a must-have every year in my home!
4.0 - Good value, simple ingredient list, and actually works but the full dose causes stomach upset
I'm normally a skeptic about products like this, but this has really helped me this past cold/flu season. It is higher quality than other elderberry products I have tried and also seems to work better than others. I love the simple ingredient list, which is pretty hard to find in an elderberry product. It is only concentrated elderberry, concentrated acerola fruit, sugar cane juice, water, and lemon juice. Many other elderberry products have echinacea, more sugar, or other added ingredients. I keep it in the fridge, have a teaspoon a day as soon as I feel that throat tickle or the kids get a cold, and I either don't get sick at all or have fewer and less severe symptoms.
5.0 - A staple in our house
I love love love this stuff!!!! We always have it on hand. When any sickness is going around, when we start to feel sick, or after large gatherings during the flu season this is a must. I swear by this stuff. It works and it tastes fantastic. I have tried other brands of elderberry syrup and they taste gross, with a chemical after taste. I only buy Gaia elder berry syrup. I was able to combat the flu season in my family because of it. My 4 yr old actually likes taking it because it tastes so good.
5.0 - Love it !!!
Gaia Herbs Black Elderberry Syrup is great. Our whole family loves it including the kids. It tastes like nice ,fresh berry, juice. We have been taking it for awhile now and have not been sick so I guess it is working to boost our immunity.Time will tell when flu season rolls around.I love it and will buy another bottle when this one runs out.
5.0 - good quality and it works
A great not too sweet syrup to have on hand during the cold and flu season.
5.0 - Kept my colds at bay all winter
I don't pop vitamins all day or believe I can stop a cold with herbs. But I noticed this product smack in the middle of cold and flu season here in the Northeast and ordered it. The next day (seriously) I felt crappy and was sure I was getting sick. So I tried the elderberry syrup--and I admit I took a little more than the recommended dose. The next day, I felt fine but took it again just to be safe (regular dose this time). And that threatening cold never developed. I was 100 percent fine. Coincidence? Possibly. But I've used it a few more times, always wth the same result. I'm not saying It's a cure-all. But it sure helped keep me healthy this past winter.

Best product on the market for colds and flu. Don't let the taste fool you! I take it in conjunction with fresh brewed ginger and hibiscus tea. Best remedy for the Fall and Winter months.
4.0 - In the past, I have always found this effective ...
In the past, I have always found this effective during cold and flu season. It stopped the chronic sinusitis I used to have. Now I am very disturbed that the larger bottle of the syrup has disappeared and the general supply of the syrup has dwindled. Now there is tremendous price gouging going on for the syrup that is left. As a result those of us that have come to rely on this syrup to boost our immunity are left in the lurch. What is going on?
5.0 - Really helps!
Really helps sore throats and stopped my cold in it's tracks. I would recommend this to everyone during this flu season.

I've been taking one tsp of this daily for 2 years. No flu or colds since. I totally believe the claims of boosting the immune system!
5.0 - great product
I always look for natural remedies and methods to cure or prevent ailments. In the past I have made my own black elderberry syrup, but in my current location elderberries are not available. Or, I should say, I have had trouble buying them. This is a great alternative to making your own. My family has been healthy and avoided the colds and flu since taking elderberry syrup. Highly recommend!
5.0 - Feel so good.
I love this syrup. It is thick and tasty, not too sweet. I swear I feel better within hours. I take it often, not daily, and so far have not had the flu. I will reorder more.
5.0 - Awesome
Great size, reasonably priced & very concentrated so not as much needed. Whenever any of us get sick I start the sick person on 1 tsp every 2 hours. Usually knocks out cold/cough/fever/flu within 12 hours. I mix w/ juice or gatorade but can be taken alone as well.
5.0 - HIGHLY recommend!!
This is the only syrup my 18 month old will take. It really does work to help his immune system! (Knock on wood) hasn't been sick once this cold/flu season. HIGHLY recommend!!
5.0 - Amazing stuff
I'm a registered nurse, and often skeptic when it comes to homeopathic remedies. Everyone at work was coming down with flu-like symptoms and colds. I woke up with a horrible sore throat, and started taking a generous teaspoon of this stuff 2x/day. Three days later: sore throat is almost healed and NO nasal symptoms. This stuff literally stopped a nasty cold in its tracks. I made my husband take it as a preventative, as well. Truly works!!!

We have used this brand of Elderberry Syrup for years. The kids love it and we use it as an added immune system booster. My daughter was diagnosed with the flu last winter and I gave her a spoonful every hour. She was back to herself in less than 36 hours. Absolutely wonderful.
5.0 - Happy! No more over the counter BS
It's flu season and I felt it coming many many times. I've taken this syrup twice a day and the symptoms disappears! Happy !No more over the counter BS
5.0 - BETTER THAN A FLU SHOT
A couple of years ago I wound up in the hospital with a flu bug after fainting and hitting my head ala Hillary Clinton. NOT wanting to repeat that experience, but wary of flu shots safety and efficacy, I started looking for holistic approaches to building my immune system. I now have a mighty cadre in my home medicine chest but the star among them is this elderberry syrup. I am 63 and it is gentle on my system, totally reliable to beat back whatever when I feel something coming on, and it tastes absolutely delightful! I trust the Gaia brand, so this is a no brainer. Even sent the children's version to my granddaughter.
5.0 - must have
My family survives off of this. It makes the cold and flu season easier to deal with for all ages.
5.0 - so good!
Use to prevent colds & flu. So far, so good!
5.0 - My Pow-Wow Grandmom recommends....
My German grandmother practiced pow-wow (us Pennsylvania Dutch called it "brauche", which means "need"). This is a type of faith healing, mixed in with herbal remedies. If any of her kids got sick, she wouldn't go get a doctor, because "they bury their mistakes". Instead, she'd go to one of those old family owned drug stores, and buy Elderberry Syrup. It was thought to drive away the symptoms of flu, help with coughs, and work as a general tonic, for spring cleaning of the body. Most Germans, and central Europeans, still use it like that today. I never saw it for sale, until I saw it for sale here on Amazon.
5.0 - While everyone around us was dropping like flies, we remained healthy and never slowed down
I refuse to be without this stuff during cold and flu season. While everyone around us was dropping like flies, we remained healthy and never slowed down! It doesn't taste bad, either...very sweet...but there were no complaints from my sweet tooth kiddos!

I purchased this on the recommendation of a good friend after having two very bad colds in a short period of time. So far I have stayed well with many sick around me. Seems everyone has had a cold or flu every where I've gone for the last few months!!
5.0 - Great for cold and flu season!
Our whole family takes this daily in the fall/winter/spring months. It works great to combat and lessen the time/severity of colds and flu. I just wish Amazon would have this on subscribe and save!
4.0 - Gaia tasted best of the 3 brands we tried.
My family started taking elderberry syrup in hopes of avoiding the flu or getting a milder case of the flu if it happens. We bought 3 different brands. This Gaia, Sambuccol and Wild Woman Naturals. Of the three we tried this was our favorite. The Sambuccol is too sweet and a dose is 2 teaspoons. It tastes like there is so much sugar in it, its overwhelming and hard to get down. The Wild Woman Naturals tastes god awful to say the least. I wouldn't even let my kids try that one it was so bad. The Gaia is sweet and reminds me a bit of prune juice, but it doesn't taste bad at all. My 11 year old hates it, but will take it with some begging from his mother, everyone else no problem. I am not ridiculous enough to think that this will prevent us from getting sick this season entirely, but I am hoping for the financial investment I am boosting my families immune system. Fingers crossed.
5.0 - I reiterate all the good things you see on other reviews
I reiterate all the good things you see on other reviews. This is miracle syrup when it comes to fighting cold and flue.
4.0 - Solid brand w/ research to back it up
I have used Gaia for many years -- my first experience was with their Elderberry which came in a different form, more like a dissolving tab. The syrup form is a bit more messy but tastes more potent or concentrated, almost like a tomato paste. I went a full winter without getting sick the last time I stuck to a daily dose of the elderberry, and since trying the syrup have not suffered too badly during this allergy season. Highly recommend for boosting immunity, especially in those hours when you feel on the verge of getting cold or flu.
5.0 - The real deal.
Great product! Very similar to the expensive stuff from a naturopath. Tastes great and I notice an improvement in cold and flu symptoms when taking this.
5.0 - Truly works
I use this product all through the winter with both my children to keep their immune system strong and resistant to flu and cold viruses. This is a very good way to fight those germs and I use it even for myself if I feel like I am coming down with something. I would and have been recommending this to friends and family!

5.0 - Want to fight the flu?
This is the medicine if you dont like taking chemicals. Took this after having two rounds of antibiotics and i was better in a week. Then I kept taking it to fight sickness coming back around.
4.0 - The taste is good, not too sweet
The taste is good, not too sweet. I'm not sure if it helped shorten the sickness, but this year's flu season has been rough. However, I liked that I was able to take this and feel like I was doing SOMETHING to improve my health. I'll keep taking it whenever I feel a sickness coming on...hopefully over time, I'll notice a difference.
5.0 - prevents and minimizes illnesses!
Our pediatrician recommended this as a preventative measure for my kids during cold/flu season, and it worked great! The most my kids got last winter was a mild cold, and this was after being exposed to the flu/colds in school. I told a friend who has been taking it since last year and said she was the only one in her office that did not get the flu (and she gets sick easily due to her asthma). Worth every penny!
5.0 - Keep on hand
This is great to have on hand to take at the first sign of a cold or flu.
5.0 - good seller
bought this item based on other reviews to help build immune system during cold and flu season it works and taste good also
5.0 - Helpful cold and flu remedy and immune system booster
I had picked this up at Whole Foods initially when it was featured, I saw it and remembered hearing Dr. Oz on one of his shows had recommended elderberry as a remedy to help shorten colds and the flu. One evening I became congested and had other cold-like symptoms and worried I was in for a bout of being sick, so decided to try it. I woke up relieved of all symptoms, which I found amazing. I did some subsequent research and discovered it is even effective against H1N1. Good stuff!
4.0 - Great for stubborn long problems
This stuff is really good for respiratory conditions. If you have a chronic bronchitis, or a long cold or flu that will not go away, definitely give this a try.

Best supplement for keeping colds & flu away when taken regularly
5.0 - best product ever! :)
I highly recommend this product! It has gotten my family safely through years of cold and flu season! We keep it in stock at all times!
5.0 - I will not be without this product in my home!
I have sent this product to my loved ones and I will not be without it for even one day! I do not take it every day, just when I'm feeling a bit under the weather. Then, one teaspoon sets me right. It is truly amazing! Loaded with natural vitamin C it just whacks the heck out of any bug trying to get a hold. I don't get flu shots, and I don't do pharmaceuticals -- I have my home health larder of this product, berberine blend, and a few other natural immune boosters and antibiotics, and it serves me very well. PLUS it is delicious and safe for children as well. I am 64 and happy to say healthy!!
5.0 - Great cold/flu remedy.
I take this regularly in the winter months and take more of it when someone in the house is ill or I feel ill. My kids will take this right off the spoon since it's based in honey. Great cold/flu remedy. Our home is never without it.
4.0 - Helping cut the duration of my cold
Heard about this from a coworker that swears by it to help boost the immune system during cold and flu season especially. I purchased it because I am sick very often as a result from teaching two year olds so I'm constantly exposed to germs. So I'm not going to lie but the taste is very bitter to me, some people say they like it. I myself am not a fan. I had the idea to mix it into a glass of apple juice to mask the taste which seems to help with the taste quite a bit. So I've only been on this for a month and did have a cold but I feel that the duration of the cold was a lot shorter than it usually is.
5.0 - Five Stars
No flu for me this flu season.
5.0 - A good idea
I used this after I got the flu - should have bought it before! I can't say definitively that it works, but the research seems positive.
5.0 - you are better off with the Organic Gaia brand
Our lives are vastly improved by using this product. The sugars at 4 grams per tsp are less than in any other Elderberry product and using less tsp - two a day- with GAIA compared to 14 grams per tsp and taking 8 tsp a day with the other product, you are better off with the Organic Gaia brand. We have used this product for the past year... and it was the only thing to knock out a bad case of bronchitis for me. This summer we both had colds and using it cuts the length of the cold down for each of us to four days or less and the cold was less severe. If you google this product you will find it also helps with flus and other viruses. Maintenance dose is 1 tsp a day if you are in need and then if you do catch something it ups to a second tsp. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
5.0 - Awesome! Husband had the stomach flu and I began ...
Awesome! Husband had the stomach flu and I began taking this. 3 days later I caught it, but it was very mild!
5.0 - Great product
I swear by this stuff during cold and flu season. It also helps me to sleep. And it tastes really good, almost like a dessert topping! It does come out very thick after it is refrigerated. I have experienced zero negative side effects, although if you took it during the day time, it might make you drowsy. I will continue to buy it as long as Gaia keeps making it.
