Sambucol Natural Black Elderberry Review and Giveaway Closed

Saturday, May 30, 2009






“Sambucol® with natural black elderberry is trusted by millions of people worldwide. It is the original black elderberry dietary supplement developed by a virologist and researched and tested in published clinical trials showing it to help support the immune system. Sambucol® black elderberry extract is recommended by numerous nationally-recognized health experts, including Andrew Weil, M.D., in his popular book, Natural Health, Natural Medicine (Houghton Mifflin, 1995), to be taken if you get the flu. The brand is unique in that it is the only black elderberry extract used in published clinical trials and is manufactured using a proprietary method of extraction: Sambucol’s unique formulation and extraction process preserves and maximizes the naturally-occurring health benefits of the berry. A potent antioxidant, black elderberries have been used to traditionally combat illness since ancient times and have twice the natural antioxidant capacity of blueberries and almost twice that of cranberries.” Quote from their product fact sheet.


If you have been following my blog, you know I use nutritional supplements with my son. I had him on a probiotic, but it became too expensive to continue. I switched him to Elderberry. His immune system had improved a great deal on the probiotic, and since switching to the Elderberry supplement, he has continued to be healthier than he used to be. He is not getting sick all the time and his allergies have improved a great deal. He made it through the worse part of the year for his allergies, pollen season, without having to go to the doctor.

Sambucol has a line of black elderberry supplements for kids and adults. My kids like the tablets, which dissolve in your mouth and have a grape flavor to them. The liquid form is easy to swallow. To me, it tastes like juice. There are no drugs in this product, alcohol free and is a dietary supplement specifically for improving your immune system. When my daughter’s doctor found out that I had my son on it, he told me to use it with my daughter. At the time, she was having trouble with her allergies. Since she has been taking this, her allergies have improved, too. You can purchase the Sambucol products at your local pharmacy or drug store.

I have 3 children so I would give it to them, their health is important and btw my oldest son who is 13 years old is mildly affected with autism/aspergers.

My son Matthew turns 13 one month from today, never tried supplements before and this might be useful with the melt in your mouth or liquid format.

I would also try with my other son who is 14.

I would keep it for myself, my son and my parents--we all live together. My mom has diabetes and i'm sure she would benefit from taking elderberry as she can't take any commercial medicines.
