Artificial elderberry flavor; mild sweet; chewy; 2 gummies: 90mg Vit C, 100mg elderberry, 7.5mg Zinc
This Elderberry + Vitamin C gummy product comes in a plastic bottle with a protective inner seal.<br /><br />The gummies have a moderate fruity scent as I sniffed the gummies in the bottle. They taste mildly sweet.<br />They are chewy; as I kept chewing, some of the gummy stuck to my teeth.<br /><br />According to the label, a daily serving of 2 gummies gives 90-mg Vitamin C (100% daily value), 100-mg elderberry, and 7.5-mg zinc (68% daily value), and has 18 calories.<br /><br />When I am taking an herbal supplement, I look to see how the product is manufactured and the ingredients list.<br />The product label on the bottle makes no mention of the quality and manner in which these gummies are produced.<br />In the Other Ingredients section, I noticed that one of the ingredients is artificial elderberry flavor.<br /><br />Expiration date is on the bottom of the bottle; mine expires 11/2021.<br /><br />While this brand has the ingredients that I need (elderberry, Vitamin C, Zinc) to help with my immune system, I am returning to my current brand that is made in an FDA-registered facility, GMP-certified, and 3rd-party tested and has a higher content of elderberry and zinc per two gummies.
