A palatable elderberry and zinc gummy effectively supporting immunity and general health, but with insufficient ginger for other claims and a higher price point for its overall efficacy.
This MegaFood Elderberry Immune Support product is presented as a broad-spectrum supplement addressing multiple health goals. Its primary strength lies in immune support, driven by a well-regarded dose of organic elderberry (400mg) and zinc (6mg), which are both widely recognized by nutritionists and scientific literature for their immune-boosting properties. The gummy form makes it highly palatable and easy to consume, contributing to its high review count. However, the inclusion of ginger at a mere 20mg is largely insufficient to provide significant anti-inflammatory or digestive benefits, making claims related to these goals questionable in practice. Furthermore, the product claims to support mood, testosterone, and metabolism, yet its ingredient profile offers no direct or significant support for these areas. While the organic wild blueberry adds antioxidant benefits for general and cardiovascular health, the overall value for money is moderate given the higher price per serving compared to other elderberry or targeted ginger supplements. Consumers primarily looking for immune support will likely be satisfied, but those seeking comprehensive benefits across all listed goals may find it falls short.
- Contains effective doses of Elderberry and Zinc for immune support.
- Made with organic ingredients from a reputable brand (MegaFood).
- Gummy form is convenient and palatable, appealing to a wide user base.
- High review count indicates general user satisfaction, likely for immune benefits.
- The ginger dosage (20mg) is too low to provide significant anti-inflammatory or digestive benefits.
- Claims to support mood, testosterone, and metabolism boost are not substantiated by its ingredients.
- Gummy form contains added sugars (3g carbs, 15 calories per serving), which may be undesirable for some users.
- Relatively high price per serving compared to other single-ingredient elderberry or ginger supplements.
- Individuals monitoring sugar intake should be mindful of the sugar content in gummies.
- Do not rely on this product for specific mood, testosterone, or metabolism support, as ingredients do not effectively target these areas.

Categories
European Elder 90.0
With 400mg of organic elderberry, this product delivers a robust and effective dose of European Elder (Sambucus nigra), which is well-regarded for its immune-supporting properties. This concentration aligns with effective dosages found in research and is a highlight of the product.
Ginger 40.0
The ginger content (20mg) is extremely low and insufficient to provide the commonly sought-after benefits of ginger, such as significant digestive aid or anti-inflammatory effects. Products explicitly designed for ginger benefits offer much higher doses.
Goals
Immunity 90.0
With 400mg of organic elderberry and 6mg of zinc citrate, this product provides a strong and well-researched foundation for immune support. Both ingredients are widely recognized by health professionals for their ability to bolster the body's defenses against common ailments.
General Health 80.0
The combination of organic elderberry, wild blueberry, and zinc provides a beneficial array of antioxidants and an essential mineral. These components collectively contribute to overall well-being and cellular health, making it a good choice for general wellness maintenance.
Cardiovascular Support 65.0
The antioxidant properties found in organic wild blueberry and elderberry can contribute to mild cardiovascular support by helping to combat oxidative stress. However, it is not formulated as a primary cardiovascular supplement and offers indirect benefits in this area.
