Slightly disappointed..... but...

I had read about the healing properties of Sambucus and the elderberry plant especially for winter illnesses. My whole family came down with a nasty flu and some of us were then getting secondary infections, so thought I would trial this product. I cannot honestly report that it was a "miracle cure" (they are few and far between), but it may have assisted in my return to wellness - hard to prove really. I was however disappointed in the sugar content of the product @ 6g per serving (more than a tsp), meaning that my diabetic husband could not take it. Plus my health conscious adult children refused too, so it was just me giving it a go. I realise I could have returned the product, but had already opened it; or checked the sugar content prior to purchase! The plus side is that it is not added cane sugar, but fructose from the elderberry, which isn't quite so bad, but still sugar none the less! Also quite a dear product for what it is.
