We love it. We use it at the first sign of a cold, or if one ot the kids at the sitters has some funky virus.
We buy Sambucol brand at CVS.

I have a friend who makes her own - she swears by it!
I've never tried it, but I will one of these days...

I didn't know they sold it at CVS, that's good to know! I'll have to stop by and pick some up since school just started :)
Quoting balagan_imma:I use it all of the time - for myself. I have asthma and when I get a cold I take elderberry and it helps. I do use it on the kids too, but they are healthier than I am (their parents don't smoke.)
Quoting TerriC:
I had never heard of it! I have had elderberry jelly! lol
It's wonderful. Elderberries, raw, are actually very bad for you, but cook them up and they are a powerful anti-virual.
We like the sambucol brand because they add sugar and DS thinks it tases like jelly. Without the sugar, I've heard it tastes pretty aweful, but you know, there isnt all that sugar. LOL
Do you take it when you are sick, or is it something you take often? I am interested in trying this now!

My 5yo is emotional, tired, and complaining of stomach pains.
Yellow soft drinks or dark?
