Sambucol (named for elderberry’s botanical name, Sambucus Nigra L.) also contains echinacea and bee propolis—other ingredients highly effective in boosting the immune system. Unlike pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter medications, Sambucol hasn’t demonstrated any adverse side effects.
Sambucol is readily available and can be taken straight, mixed with hot water and honey, or with sparkling water for a sweet-tart refresher.

Words of Caution If You’re Going To Make Your Own Elderberry Extract Syrup

Most varieties of elderberry are toxic, as they contain relatively high amounts of cyanide. If you make your own elderberry syrup or elderberry wine, ensure you use a safe species and cook all parts of the plant first. Elder is in the same family as honeysuckle, so avoid elderberries if you’re allergic to honeysuckle. Additionally, the elderberry is a diuretic; consult your healthcare provider if you have kidney problems or are taking diuretic medication.
