Good Alternative to the Syrup
I recently just bought a bunch of bottles of elderberry syrup from a different brand because we have been knocked down with sickness this Winter. We are trying to build our immune systems and I'm trying to find healthy sufflamina it's to help avoid the flu for my children. Well, I found that I really didn't like the taste of the elderberry syrup. I don't know if the elderberries are very sweet or if the brand I got just over sweetened it but I really couldn't stomach the syrup so I was excited to give this a shot. These capsules are much easier for me to take and to they don't have any aftertaste to them. The kids can have the syrup and I will stick with these.I haven't been using them long term so I don't know how effective they are but I am happy to say that I have not contracted anything else since beginning to take these.The capsules are easy to take and are not too large. Serving size is 2 capsules 1 to 2 times a-day. I do think these are a little pricey so I, personally, only take 2 a day in attempts to conserve them. 2 capsules have 750 mg of elderberry, 100 mg of elderflower and 100 mg of umcklaloaabo. I like the fact that there is elderberry and elderflower in this, giving it a more well rounded supplement with different nutrients. Also, there are no other added ingredients other than the vegetable capsule.Something worth mentioning is that the elderberry is organic but the elderflower is wild harvested. I don't know if this means that the elderflower has been sprayed or not.

Great value for a quality elderberry supplement!
With all of the viruses and bacteria running rampant all over the place and people refusing to cover their coughs and sneezes, we need all of the help we can get. I have been doing a lot of reading and Elderberry is one name that keeps popping up as a proven ingredient in the war on infections for centuries. It's good for preventing and if need be its good for treating. Including the elderflower is nice because it brings with it additional cold/flu fighting help, and they also include Umckaloabo too!Outstanding combination of infection protection and treatment that has been used for a very long time. As if that isn't good enough, this is made by a very nice company that makes you feel good to do business with.Huge win here. 5 stars!

Sounds great until you research it.
Sometimes I fail to research a supplement until I’m writing the review, but this time I had read some cautions about elderberry. Some claim that people with certain medical conditions should not take it for viruses because it can make them worse. I don’t know about that, but I did learn from the encyclopedia that taking too much of elderberry products can cause severe digestive symptoms.Effectiveness of elderberry has not been scientifically proven, but it has a long history of use in herbal medicine. Some doctors say do not take it for more than five days, and it is not recommended for pregnant women. It is said to stimulate the immune system so people with immune conditions should consult their doctor before taking this. Also people with diabetes should approach this carefully because it can lower blood sugar.The encyclopedia states that raw elderberries contain a type of cyanide. Just because something is natural does not make it totally safe. Please research this before using and do not take too much.By the way, the other active ingredient with the strange name is also known as African geranium. I did not see anything alarming about it, but like most plants, it effects are known in herbal medicine but not studied intensely by scientists.

Easy way to get elderberries
Elderberries are high in antioxidants and a great boost to your immune system. Instead of taking elderberry syrup daily, I switched over to these. The caplets are tasteless and easy to swallow and contain both the elderberry and elderflower. Directions are to take 1-4 caplets daily, and this bottle contains 90 caplets. I am just talking 1-2 daily, so this should last me a couple of months. Having been under a lot of stress lately, these supplements are helping to keep me healthy and functioning!

use to keep my immune system strong
I work in the public and have recently starting using elderberry supplements to help boost my immune system. I gave some to my husband when he was struggling with a cold and he got over the cold much faster than he has in the past. I haven't contacted any illnesses since using elderberry. Elderberry will be a staple in my house from now on. It really does help with shortening the sickness time or helping to prevent it at all. I like that this is in capsule form, I was using a dissolvable tablet before now. While it didn't taste awful I prefer to take a pill or capsule and be done with it. if you get sick all the time you need to start taking elderberry

Seems good
Elderberry is supposed to be very good for your immune system, so I decided to try these. I've been taking one a day, which is the minimum dosage. You can take up to two twice a day for a total of four per day, but I decided to start are low. I haven't had any adverse side effects such as stomach discomfort, but without some sort of trial I can't really say how well these worked. I do like the fact that these are vegetarian, organic, kosher, and gluten free and that the manufacturer offers a 100% money back guarantee. That gives me the impression that these are of the highest quality from a manufacturer who stands behind their product.
