A lot of benefits from Elderberry, not all can be integrated into gummies, but safe, easy to take.
It would be nice if you could get a way to preserve all the benefits of the berries, but that's not possible.  The berries themselves are coated with a poison that's not too dangerous in small mounts, but the other part of the plants are very bad. Some of the beneficial effects probably lost during the conversion to gummies are fiber for one, that may be an assumption on my part, but they don't list it on the bottle, so it's likely true.  I'd say next a certain proportion of the antioxidants are not carried over.  Fresh uncooked berries would retain a lot more antioxidants than processed ones.  I know from my past history as a juicer, that once the fruit or veggie is juiced the concentration of antioxidants drops very quickly from hours to only a day or so depending on the method.<br /><br />Still there are a lot of benefits left, from mood enhancing to digestion, to vitamin C, enough of the health benefits remain to want to use an easy way to take Elderberry.  This particular version is somewhat unusual as most seem to use blueberry as a flavoring for Elderberry gummies, but this brand uses raspberry.  I like that they are sugar coated on the outside as gummies can stick together and be a pain to dig out of the bottle that way. My usual caution is in effect because they taste good and can be harmful if you take too many.  Adults should resist eating too many, and put away so your kids don't find a great new gummy candy that can hurt them if they consume the bottle.  With these precautions in place.  Recommended.
