Gaia Herbs Black Elderberry, NightTime Syrup – Immune Support Supplement – With Organic Black Elderberries, California Poppy & Lemon Balm for Restful Sleep & Immune Defense – 5.4 Fl Oz (32-Day Supply)

Healthy and Delicious
As a practicing herbalist for many years (for personal use, not as a professional) and an advocate holistic practices I’ve found that Gaia herbs has always had quality products and I was happy to find this one available here on Subscribe and Save. My family has been taking both formulas of the Black Elderberry syrup (the standard version and the Nighttime) as a supplements throughout the cold and flu season with excellent results.It’s concentrated. You take one teaspoonful once a day, twice only if needed. I’ve found that it’s not overly sedative which is a plus. It has something of a mild relaxing effect keeping in mind that your mileage may vary. The potency of the formula is focused in the immunity support that the Black Elderberries provide. It’s manufactured in Italy where it’s a traditional medicine with these additional organic ingredients: Acerola, California Poppy, Lemon Balm, Grindelia, Sugar Cane (4g of sugar per serving), water, and Lemon Juice. I’ve come to really like this product and will be sure to keep a bottle of each formula on hand all year round, so I recommend it highly.

Two year old loves it!
Best elderberry out there. I give it to my two year old daily. Helps with all bugs out there. She still get sniffles or a very low grade fever (once in a blue moon!) but I honestly believe she would be worse without elderberry. This stuff just helps the healing and protecting of my little one’s immune system. She enjoys the taste. She doesn’t spit or gage. I do notice it takes awhile 7-10 days for it to be effective. I really do think this is a long term routine. Always nice to have natural remedies for the little one’s!

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.I used this product sparingly at night to give relief from the nasty cough and put an oil diffuser in their room to help with nasal congestion.

Made sleep worse.
This product didn’t work for me. Doesn’t mean it won’t work for you. I’m very sleep sensitive. I took it for a week and each night I could not get into a good deep sleep. I stopped taking it and immediately had a better sleep. It definitely did not “turn off my brain” and in fact disturbed my sleep. If anti-anxiety meds work for you, this might work, but for me, anti-anxiety meds tend to give me anxiety so I’m not saying the product isn’t worth a try. It’s a good company, makes great products. Just didn’t work for me. Also please note, needs refrigeration after opening. Could not find that information on the bottle. Maybe it’s there, just small print?
