Sambucol Black Elderberry Syrup for Kids – Elderberry Extract Kids, Kids Elderberry Syrup, Black Elderberry for Kids, Kids Immune Support – 7.8 Fl Oz

Seems to work for us!
I had heard a lot about sambucol/elderberry and decided to get a few versions (adult/child, liquid/chewable, etc). Most of these arrived end of Feb/Early March 2020 (e.g. just as the covid-19/coronavirus hysteria was really ramping up here in CT).One week (the first week in isolation in fact), (my wife and) I came down with a very odd illness where I was achy/sore/tired, was lightheaded (first day or 2), had regular and sinus headaches/pressure (but my sinuses weren’t blocked or stuffy, which is the odd part), then eventually shortness of breath (again rather odd, it wasn’t horrible but I’d get winded going up the stairs, very unusual symptom), and lost my sense of taste/smell for 4-5 days (another very unusual symptom).I forgot to use the adult Sambucol I’d bought (you’re supposed to use it at the first sign of symptoms), but that following weekend one of our daughters (a 7 year old who had been isolated with us for over 2 weeks, so whatever she got is what I and my wife had the week prior) came down with a sudden high (103F) fever one morning after complaining she was tired. I thought – good time to try out the Sambucol – fortunately it must taste good because she’s generally VERY picky when it comes to medicine, but she drank this right up. Then we put her to bed with nothing else (no ibuprofen/acetaminophen). Within a couple hours the fever had broken and she was her normal self. Within another couple hours of being awake, the fever partially returned (not as high), but by now it was time for another round of Sambucol (every 4 hrs). Gave her that, the fever went away (for good), and that was it. She never got any of the other symptoms that her mother or I had gotten. Again, pretty odd as usually fevers are followed by congestion or some other symptom [we have 4 kids so we’re practically pediatricians with all the colds/fevers/flus we’ve gotten], and they typically last on the order of days, not hours.Unfortunately all we can go on is anecdotes like this, but I’ll say I will be using this in the future if any of us is getting sick. The real bonus is I didn’t have to fight her to take it. The downside is it’s somewhat expensive, and the dosing instructions are pretty obtrusive – administering (and remembering to do it) every 4 hours is a bit of a pain. At the rate they suggest taking it, you’d blow through a bottle in the matter of 2-3 days.

A Must-Have for Every Parent — Especially During Flu Season
I have been using Sambucol for my kids since my 20 year old son was a toddler, back when it was very very hard to find. Nowadays you can get it at a great price on Amazon or even find it at your local drug store. I wish it had been that easy back when I started using it. I have six kids and each and every time one of them has caught a virus we start to give them this product. It works like a charm each and every time. Even when my son was diagnosed with influenza and was very sick for 3 days (he also has asthma so it could have been very serious), the symptoms alleviated on the 3rd day and he overcame it it without having to be hospitalized. I truly think this is all due to Sambucol.The way it works it prevents the virus from replicating within the body, effectively killing the viral infection. While some home remedies aren’t as effective as they should be, this one without a doubt is a must-have for parents to keep on hand. It’s to a virus is what an antibiotic is to a bacterial infection, and it’s very effective. When the doctor prescribed Tamiflu to my son I wouldn’t even fill it. I just gave him this and it cleared right up.I would rather use a natural product than something with potentially nasty side effects. I recommend that every single parent keep this in the medicine cabinet.

Photo description error
The photo does not portray what the actual product is. The photo states save for one year olds but when the product arrived it stated safe for two and up.

Very good for kids
My kids love this

The medicine bottles have been received too hot and not stored/ packaged in cold packs.

It tastes good. Not sure about its effect.
