How should Elderberry Gummies be used

Elderberry gummies is recommended to be taken with the onset of respiratory symptoms based on Elderberries anti-inflammatory properties and its ability to help loosen mucous (which makes it easier to cough and discharge nasal congestion) and to help promote sweating during fevers. This in turn helps relieve symptoms of colds and flus and helps shorten the duration of illness.

 How long does it take to get a strong immunity to colds and flus?

While there are unfortunately no studies on the effect of supplementation for the
prevention of colds and flus, the earlier elderberries for example are taken the more readily they can help at the very start of an infection.

That’s why it is still a good idea to take elderberry gummies continuously during the
cold and flu season to help your body fight through any potential cold or flu more quickly and with less symptoms.
