Sunwarrior Elderberry + Vitamin C Supplement - Immune & Digestive Support, Vegan Capsules - 30ct

As soon as you receive and look at the bottle, ingredients and the overall appearance you immediately associate the word quality to it. The capsules also look premium and are easy to swallow. I believe Elderberry and Vitamin C are a great and powerful combination which everyone should consume. My only issue with this product is the price, which is justified by being Vegan, Organic, etc. If you're OK paying a bit more for these, then this is definitely for you.

Sunwarrior is a reputable company and has been around for awhile. I do like that their supplements are certified organic, have no additives or fillers. and come in a dark glass bottle. Their vitamin C content is also food-based, a big plus.However, Sunwarrior's supplements are on the pricey side which would not be so bad if they gave you a therapeutic dose of the ingredients, but often the dosage is middling to fairly low. This one is no exception - as others have mentioned, the vitamin C and elderberry content here is low compared to other similar formulas on the market. Granted those other formulas would likely not be organic, nor food-based. So it depends on what is more important to you.Also, there seems to be a consistent issue with the Sunwarrior capsules in terms of quality control. When I opened the bottle I had discovered that the Sunwarrior capsules had leaked, leaving a powdery film all over everything inside. I have experienced this with their Mushroom complex and Vitamin C products too. They should really address this. The capsules are also fairly large, just f.y.i.I have been taking this every day and have had an infection, but I cannot in all honesty tell if it has been helping or not in regards to strengthening my immune system or with healing. Healing has been very slow and I remain feeling tired. If this is helping, I might not be able to tell, but I still have about 1/4 of the bottle left.Sunwarrior supplements might not be the best choice if you are looking for the biggest bang for your buck. However if your priority is to find an organic, food-sourced supplement, they are one of the better ones. I do wish they would get the capsule leakage issue under control though.

The package has an overall 'posh' presentation to it. The bottle is glass and the label makes it look high end. Inside the bottle you'll find a big wade of cotton which keeps the capsules from moving around. If you leave it in, it actually makes it a little difficult to get them out. I haven't noticed anything overly special about these vitamins, I'm just trying to get more supplements into my diet. They are easy to swallow, so they haven't been in my mouth long enough to notice a flavor. Being that they are in a capsule, I think they would be flavorless until it dissolved. My only grievance with this package is white label on the back of the bottle. It is so large it covers much of the text on the main label. I was able to peel mine off, but I was concerned that it might rip some of the main label off. It didn't, but if it had, it could have removed important instructions/information.

These are a tad pricy for 30 capsules but they have all the hallmarks of being quality. Price does not indicate quality, many other things do.In the short time I have taken these, I see no difference. But you generally never do with vitamins and supplements, etc, you just take them in good faith. I wager to say that is what happens here with these.Easy for me to swallow... but I have a big mouth. You'd never know that at a party or gathering of 3 people. But they do not get stuck in your throat. Mine, that is. They leave no aftertaste like a pushy Girl Scout clambering for money for basic, overpriced cookies and whatnot. No aftertaste or aftereffect is always a good thing with pills, and supplements like these.The company seems reputable, the product looks good, smells of quality when you open it... even though you really didn't taste them... and I can find nothing wrong here.

Sunwarrior’s Elderberry + Vitamin C (30 capsules and servings) is decent elderberry supplement in capsule form.POSITIVE• Standard capsule size• Bonus Vitamin C (though it’s in everything…)• Organic and thoughtful ingredients (e.g., the silica to improve absorption comes from bamboo extract an the capsule is made from pullulan, water, and sea weed)• I love the sturdy glass bottle instead of plastic!NEGATIVE• Compared to a liquid delivery method, the concentration per serving is significantly less than (as much as 1/10) of the serving one might get from an elderberry syrup.• High concentration powders, such as this 65:1 ratio, are a concern to me as far as effectiveness.• Price: at about $20 for 30 servings, it’s high, especially considering the mg/$. You’ll need to consider if the organic and thoughtful ingredients are worth it.
