Oh what an odd year it has been!
Now is the season in which normally we would start being concerned about preparing our immune system for the upcoming flu season. And this year? Not only are we still concerned about flu season, we are still dealing with a pandemic on top of it. Now, more than ever, we are really thinking about how to prevent illness during this season and all year long. There are a few simple ways that we can do that:
- Wash your hands.
- Wear a mask.
- Add a supplement for immune support.
There are many ways to improve our immune health, but sometimes the best thing we can do is not the latest trend, but one that goes back MANY years. Thousands of years in fact! Elderberry stem, bark, leaves, flowers, berries, and root extracts of the plant are all used in traditional folk medicine with elderberry-based recipes dating as far back as Ancient Egypt! Fun fact: Hippocrates even called elderberry a medicine chest due to its seemingly endless health benefits and usability.
Wow, talk about a long standing history! With such longevity, there must be something to it, right?
Okay, okay, so we know that elderberry is a good supplement to help support our immune health... but with so many supplements out there... how do we know which one to choose?
I was recently given the chance to try out Sambucol Black Elderberry Gummies for my own family and share my thoughts with you.
But first, why choose Sambucol?
Sambucol offers a unique black elderberry extract that is rich in immune suppoting flavonoids. It is made from black ekderberries that contain TWICE the natural antioxidant capacity of blueberries and more than 50% more than cranberries. This antioxidant rich berry again has been used for thousands of years to offer natural immune support.
Sambucol gummies are made with pectin and sweetened with only pure cane sugar (1 g of sugar per gummy). There are no artificial flavors or colors, no gluten, nuts, soy, dairy or eggs. They are also vegetarian and vegan friendly. To sum it up, these tend to be a good supplement no matter any dietary restrictions you might have. They can also be used by adults and children as young as four years old, making them a great supplement for the whole family too.
This all sounds great, of course. But it really is only effective if you can stomach them, right? I could talk about kids being picky about flavors, but truth be told, they aren't the only ones. I am perhaps the most apprehensive about trying new things... and that goes for supplements as well. Even the gummies that are supposed to taste good... well, they just don't always. Or they taste fine to start but leave a horrid after taste. Honestly, anytime I try a new supplement, I find myself bracing for the worst. As I did with these. But I was pleasantly surprised. They were quite sweet, but seemed to have a citrus taste too... almost like a bit of sour candy flavor. My daughter said they taste just like a regular old fruit snacks. I did find that it had a slight bit of an aftertaste, but it didn't last very long at all.
Overall, I found them to be a great tasting, simple way to give our immune support a little extra support that we so need right now.
One 30-count bottle of Sambucol Black Elderberry Gummies typically retails for $12.99 and a 60-count bottle for $24.99. You can purchase Sambucol Black Elderberry Gummies at Walmart, Target, CVS, Walgreens, GNC, The Vitamin Shoppe, Ralphs, Vons, Safeway, and Kroger. To find a store near you, visit: sambucolusa. com/pages/store-locator.
For me, the gummies are the easiest way to add elderberry to my daily wellness routine. Simply grab and chew. If that's not for you, you can also try Sambucol Original Syrup, or Sambucol Immune Powder Drink with Vitamin C. These offer the same great support, but can be mixed in with water, smoothies, etc. The syrup can even be taken on it's own.
