Does anyone else use elderberries? They are good for health and upper respiratory system.They are suppose to help reduce the chance of getting sick and if you do, reduce the length and severity of it.I know Elderberry has worked well with my family.At the first sign of a cold, we take lots of elderberry.
Anyone else have any experience with elderberries? What do you think about them?

Elderberries are awesome!!! They are great as you said to ward off colds and flu's and if you do catch something, it makes it not so bad. Pill form is okay, but I like the extract best. If you have an elderberry tree near by the fresh berries are the best and they are so very yummy too.

Half of my kids can't stand taking the exact by itself.But,they will take the pill form. The ones that don't mind the flavor of the extract, prefer it cold.So,I store it in the fridge once I open a bottle.
Muffins are a good way to use the fresh berries, if you have access to them.

Do you take the elderberry every day or just when you think you might be coming down with something? If you take them everyday and think you might be catching something,do you increase the amount you are taking?
Have you tried the cough drops that have elderberry in them?
