Elderberries?

Who knew that such an innocent looking fruit could do so much for you?  My family has been making elderberry jelly for years, but I never realized how healthy elderberries are for you.

I was asked to try and review Complete Health’s new dietary supplement lozenges, Respiratory Guard, to help build your immune system, with the power of elderberry extract, and help fight off cold a flu symptoms. We rarely seem to think about getting our flu vaccines before it’s too late, so this seemed like a great opportunity to try and avoid the next batch of the flu going around.

When I received the lozenges, I’d had a slight chest cold off and on for over a month or so, since the entire family was stricken with the flu virus, and I have to say the lozenges really seemed to help clear up the chest and sinus congestion that seemed to linger with me forever.  After just a few days of taking two lozenges per day, I took one in the morning and one in the evening, for three days I noticed a big improvement – hardly any coughing, except for when I got up in the morning, and almost no stuffiness.

After a full week on the lozenges, my cough is gone, totally and I feel so much better than I have in quite a while, and I totally believe that I have Respiratory Guard to thank for that!

Before our free box was even empty, I had already ordered another one.  Even my six year old was happy to take them, of course she liked the berry taste of them so well, that she would have eaten the entire box like candy if I would have let her. (The fact that if you suck on them, instead of chewing them, turns your mouth purple was another one of the reasons she liked them too!)

So if you’re like us, and rarely bother to get flu vaccines, I would highly recommend keeping a box of Respiratory Guard on hand, and start taking them as soon as you feel cold or flu symptoms coming on.  I know our family will be!
