Analysis

This product is largely identical in formulation to the original flavor Nature's Way Sambucus Zinc Lozenges, featuring the same effective doses of Zinc (5mg) and organic Black Elder extract (12.5mg), with a slightly higher Vitamin C content (90mg vs 60mg). The peppermint flavor can provide an additional soothing effect for sore throats. Its effectiveness for targeted acute immune support, particularly for throat and upper respiratory symptoms, remains a key strength, aligning with recommendations for immediate immune boosting at the first sign of illness.

Pros
  • Strong immune support with an effective combination of Zinc, Vitamin C, and Elderberry.
  • Lozenges provide direct topical relief for sore throats and efficient nutrient absorption.
  • Contains a slightly higher dose of Vitamin C compared to the original flavor.
  • Good value per serving for targeted immune intervention.
Cons
  • Elderberry dose is lower than standalone elderberry supplements.
  • Not primarily formulated for comprehensive long-term cardiovascular or anti-inflammatory effects beyond immune response.
Warnings
  • Zinc lozenges can sometimes cause nausea if taken on an empty stomach.
  • The listed form 'Liquid(s)' might be a data error, as these are typically solid lozenges for dissolving in the mouth.
