Zwarte vlierbes

Winter hit hard this year and I started taking these elderberry capsules the moment I felt that first scratchy throat. Two weeks in, the whole household got sick and I somehow stayed fine. The berry-based formula feels gentler than the zinc tabs I used to choke down, too.

Winter always hits me hard, so I started taking these back in October and made it through the whole season without my usual sore throat week. The berry taste is tart but honestly fine mixed into my morning tea.

I’ve been taking these every morning since October, and this is the first winter I haven’t ended up with a lingering cough. The berries are easy to swallow and don’t leave that weird aftertaste some supplements do.
