Have you jumped on the elderberry train??

Elderberry syrup is all the rage right now, especially this time of the year when everyone is sick! Do you give your kids elderberry, or make your own syrup?

    I never heard of this, but it sounds delicious. We need a list of favorite cold remedies.

    We recently switched from just doing daily vitamin C to doing an elderberry product (store bought!) and it seems to be helping ward off illness. Fingers crossed it works, and I'm hoping to make our own next time!

    My mother-in-law bought us everything we need to make elderberry syrup & gummies and taught us how to make it when she was here over the holidays. It is easy to make, tastes great, and seems to be working. The downside for me is that the ingredients are expensive (although I'm guessing we save some $ making it on our own).

  • It's not something we've used much in our house, but my mother-in-law swears by it. I've seen a bunch of recipes to make your own in the instant pot, maybe it's something I'll have to try out.

  • I've been giving it to my kids pretty regularly this winter and we did have a better fall than usual and actually my oldest hasn't been sick much, but it's hard to tell why the change. My younger 2 have definitely been sick, but I figure it can't hurt, and hopefully it helps a little bit! I buy a liquid concentrate from Amazon, which is more economical than the gummies or sugary syrups.

    I am definitely interested in learning more about this. Our son recently got over the LONGEST. COLD. EVER. I'm interested in anything that could help us not do that again. :)

    I have heard of this, but never used it. I'm all for keeping kids healthy in the winter!

  • I haven't heard of it but will definitely look into it, especially if it's good for staying healthy!

    I'm 2 days in to giving it to my daughter. I'll be sure to update everyone on if it works!
