I use this on a regular basis and call it my "magic juice". Elderberry REALLY works to knock out colds before they even start if you take it soon enough. However, I didn't catch that I was ordering the one with alcohol, when I usually order the one without. The one without tastes very mild. This one is very strong and ICK. I had to buy another, and they are not cheap.

I was recently introduced to Elderberry syrup for laryngitis. I took one teaspoon in the morning and one at night. In two and a half days, I started to get better after having it for nearly four weeks. (Doctors said there was nothing they could give me. Have had it before about 20 years ago and got an antibiotic which improved it within two days. Now, it appears doctors are reluctant to give out antibiotics unless things are bad.)That leads me to the Extract. First, I thought there was a lot of sugar in the syrup. The extract is less expensive and I had no problem taking a dropper full into my mouth. Not sure everyone can tolerate it.Certainly don't want to test it myself, or anyone else for that matter, but wondered if it would help with Covid-19.

I started taking this at the end of the summer to protect me from the colds that may start circulating early since we seemed to have skipped fall, going express from summer to winter-like weather and temperatures.I wanted to give it some time before leaving a review. Now on my second (4 oz) bottle, I've got more than enough in my system to leave a review.I have been exposed to people with colds and have not, through this 13th day of December, caught one. This is bliss for me because once I catch a cold, it's with me for over a month because the only thing I can do is just let it work its way out of my system.My boss has been sneezing and coughing all week. Guess who's home sick today and, who's here at work happy as can be!

As a cold preventative, I am taking once a day. So far, so good. Looks like it will last a long time as one bottle holds 168 servings. Tastes delicious with subtle blueberry-like notes. If I can go an entire season without a cold, then I will say this is a double "yes".****UPDATE - Wonderful, wonderful. I took it daily and then if I felt the slightest signs of a cold or allergy beginning, I switched to 2X or 3X a day. Had no cold or seasonal allergy for the first time in years. ALSO be aware that this may seem expensive at first glance. But this is about 168 single servings whereas some of the less expensive bottles are teaspoon or tablespoon servings and you will go through them in no time at all and are far more expensive in the long run.
