This year the flu has me really nervous. Last year, my son Maxx, got the flu and it was terrifying. I really never want to hear those words again, so this year I am doing all I can to prevent it.
Elderberry Gummies
This year the cold and flu season seems to be running longer and definitely more severe. I have been a long-time user of extra vitamin C and echinacea in the winter as extra protection.
This year I decided to test out the magic healing properties of the elderberry. The elderberry is an excellent general immune system booster.
Benefits of Elderberry
Other benefits of the elderberry include sinus infection aid, lowers blood sugar, it is a natural diuretic, a natural laxative, helps ease allergies, is anti-inflammatory, and may help prevent cancer.
With all of these benefits, these Homemade Elderberry Gummies are going to become part of our regular health routine.
Rheumatoid Arthritis Relief
Ever since my diagnosis with rheumatoid arthritis I have been implementing healthy lifestyle options and some bits of homeopathic medicine. My biggest battle has been with severe inflammation and the elderberry has been gained a lot of recognition as being a great aid to reduce inflammation. Just another amazing benefit for many chronic illness patients.

Can I Use A Different Mold For Elderberry Gummies
Yes, you don’t have to use the exact mold I purchased. Any smaller mold will work that way you get small cubed gummies out of the mixture. If you do larger gummies you will need to cut them to be an appropriate size.
How Many Elderberry Gummies Do You Take A Day
If no symptoms of sickness are around you can take 1-2 gummies a day. If you feel you are getting sick or around someone who is sick take 2-3 gummies a day.
How to Store Elderberry Gummies
Keep your gummies in the fridge in an airtight container. If you leave them on the counter they will melt and go bad fast. Store in fridge and enjoy chilled.
How Long Will Elderberry Gummies Last
To be honest these go rather fast in our home. There is enough of us that we get them eaten pretty quickly. You could keep your gummies for up to 2 weeks in the fridge. Just make sure the container is airtight to prevent gummies from going bad.
Does Elderberry Syrup Really Work?
I am not a doctor but I can say when we have gotten sick in the past and taken these gummies, it has helped shorten the duration of the illness.
Plus you saw above I use it for my RA to help with inflammation. There are so many benefits of Elderberry syrup and in gummy form. In our family, we enjoy them and believe they help.
It’s not a cure-all and I won’t claim that. You still could get sick even if you eat them. These gummies work in helping to boost immunity and if you do catch something to limit the sickness time.
Can You Take Too Many Elderberry Gummies
Yes. Just like any other supplements or vitamins you take you need to follow the directions. Too many are not good for your body and can make you feel a little sick.
Taking extra isn’t going to build your body up even more if can actually make you feel sick.
Can You Take Elderberry Year Round
Of course! You don’t have to limit these gummies to cold and flu season. Feel free to make it all year round. Because Elderberry orders so many natural health benefits it makes it wonderful to use year-round!
