Customer Reviews of Sambucol Original Liquid Black Elderberry 7.8 fl.oz
Customer Review: Actually Works!
Summary: 4 Stars
I rate this high because it works. It gets a star knocked off because I just looked at the label (I have some sitting right here) and it contains among "Other Ingredients": Glucose Syrup, Purified Water.
The reason that matters is because there is no ratio given. I don't really know what I'm buying. What you want to purchase is the elderberry concentrate. Call me suspicious but the past few years have not put me in a "Trust Me" mood when it comes to corporations. It also means that they can change that ratio of elderberry to water to glucose at any time due to seasonal processing needs. Not that I'm saying they do that and my experience has been positive.
Go to pubmed.gov and search for "elderberry" or "elderberry flu" or do a general internet search for "elderberry flu."
I stick to things where, yes the studies may be small, but there is some objective study and the study is fairly dramatic.
You can read any number of positive personal experience tales about any product. Given that: My experience is that it has prevented colds and flu, times when I've woken up, or come home from work feeling like, "I'M DOOOOMED!" You have to stay with it and take several times during the day if you've already caught something. I've also tried the product "Dr. Dunner, Sambu Guard" with similar results but it is even less widely available and is thinner (so I'm assuming, perhaps unfairly, less bag for my buck.)
Sambucol (Original liquid) also tastes really good to me. Keep in fridge after opening. It is hard to find and often shelf space is taken up by this same company's useless (in my opinion) "homeopathic" tablets.
It is a nice thick concentrate but that could be the glucose. I looked a bit for a product that is comparable. I found "Natural Sources ELDERBERRY CONCENTRATE." How to compare? They don't give 'concentration' values you can translate among products. So, I thought that price per calories might give a rough idea. The problem is that Sambucol contains added glucose. BUT! Even with that edge, I calculate the approx cost per calories of Sambucol to be $0.28 whereas the approx cost per calorie for "Natural Sources (16 oz)" to be only $0.16. PLUS the Natural Source has no added ingredients.
I wish to end by saying how happy I've been with the Sambucol and that we've found it to be very effective and that I have not yet tried the "Natural Sources" brand.
