Excellent! This is fantastic at the onset of a cold or flu; my chronic cough, which was initially dry, became productive within two days. It’s a superb remedy.

We conducted a pilot trial to explore the effectiveness of zinc acetate in treating chronic refractory cough, a condition that causes significant discomfort for many people. In this study, we compared zinc acetate against a placebo over a period of six weeks, with the aim of measuring improvements in quality of life and cough symptoms using several established questionnaires.
Our group included 34 participants who were primarily white females suffering from moderate to severe cough. Throughout the trial, we noted that those taking zinc acetate did experience a rise in serum zinc levels, which indicates that the treatment was effective in that regard. However, when assessing the overall impact on cough symptoms and quality of life, both the zinc and placebo groups showed improvements, but those improvements were minimal.
Importantly, the treatment effects observed did not reach the clinically meaningful thresholds that would suggest zinc acetate significantly benefits cough management. Therefore, we concluded that there is no substantial advantage to using zinc therapy over placebo for people dealing with chronic cough, and suggest that larger trials are unnecessary at this time.

Lifesaver this winter! I have three children under five, and we've been bombarded with illnesses these past two years. If a bug was circulating, we caught it. Usually, it lingered for weeks, driving me mad! I received these gummies as a gift from Zhou and decided to give them a go. Two of my children loved the taste; the other didn't, but ate them regardless. Each morning, I gave them one, which effectively shielded us from the colds and coughs circulating around. Despite some runny noses, there was no coughing, and the symptoms resolved quickly. I was impressed enough to reorder more at full price and will continue to give them to my family throughout winter!

We explored whether elderberry could help reduce the duration and severity of colds for economy class passengers traveling internationally. In a well-structured randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial involving 312 participants, we looked at how a standardized elderberry extract affected respiratory health during air travel.
Participants tracked their cold episodes, duration, and symptoms in daily diaries, using a scoring method to quantify their experiences. They also completed surveys about their upper respiratory symptoms and quality of life at different points: before traveling and four days post-travel.
While we noted that the group taking the placebo experienced more cold episodes, the difference wasn't statistically significant. However, those taking elderberry had a significantly shorter duration of cold days and a lower average symptom score overall, suggesting that elderberry may significantly lessen the impact of colds during air travel.
Further research is essential to validate our findings and to better understand the broader health benefits of elderberry, both physical and mental.

We delved into how elderberry, specifically from the black elderberry fruit, impacts the flu virus, H1N1. Using an innovative technique called Direct Analysis in Real Time Mass Spectrometry (DART TOF-MS), we were able to identify the powerful anti-viral properties of elderberry extract without the need for complicated processes like separation or derivatization.
Our findings revealed that elderberry extract does indeed inhibit H1N1 infection in a lab setting, with an effective concentration (IC50) of 252 micrograms per milliliter. Interestingly, we discovered that flavonoids present in the elderberry bind to H1N1 virions—essentially blocking their ability to infect host cells.
Among the compounds, two key flavonoids emerged: the 5,7,3',4'-tetra-O-methylquercetin and dihydromyricetin. These compounds not only bound to the virus but also effectively prevented infection. Notably, the tetra-O-methylquercetin demonstrated an impressive IC50 of just 0.13 micrograms per milliliter, which is comparable to well-known antiviral medications like Oseltamivir and Amantadine.
In summary, elderberry shows promising potential as a natural remedy against the H1N1 flu, offering a fascinating area for further research and utilization in flu prevention strategies.

Helps keep my toddler well. I’ve been giving these to my 2-year-old, and the doctor approved it. I've noticed she might get a slight illness when everyone else is unwell, but it significantly shortens the duration. The doctor believes they have really helped. A typical cold used to last a week, but she had it for just a day and a half, mostly as a runny nose. I still took her to the doctor, who confirmed that the gummies helped reduce her symptoms and duration considerably. I will keep giving them until flu season is over.
