I swear by this stuff, and I am always recommending it! I use it every year, autumn and winter, and whenever I feel 'illness' coming on! You should take 10ml 4 times a day, which I only do when I'm unwell or if I get a cold, and in my experience, it shortens the cold by half! On a typical day though, I use 10ml once a day.
My only gripe is that the bottles are too small (120ml), and I wish they were bigger, as it can get expensive when the whole family is using it! Oh, and I also find it very sweet (I dont have a sweet tooth!)

I have used Sambucol before, but find it bloody expensive to buy - for such a small amount. I bought it off amazon because it was cheaper than a high street dhop. I have been/am surrounded by coughs and colds, and am so far absolutely fine. I have been taking a mouthful of Sambucol once - twice a day.

. and it tastes good too!
My autistic son has taken this supplement since October 2012 and we have managed to get through a whole winter without a full blown cold or continuous runny nose. There has been the odd sniffle, but overall extremely impressed. As he is autistic he won't eat vegetables and only has the occasional banana. This has proved THE product to give his system a boost.

I think it works!
By Dancer on 6 December 2011
Not sure if it was the Sambucol, but have started taking this recently, and my daughter has had the most dreadful cold and cough. Unfortunately, I didn't discover it until after she started her cold, but she is now taking 5ml a day too.
Usually I get anything that she does, it's pretty unavoidable when you are nursing a little one in close quarters, but I have been taking 10ml a day and (touch-wood) I've not caught anything yet. Of course it might just be co-incidence or that I am immune to the particualar bug she has, but I am jolly grateful that I have not caught it as I teach dance for a living and having a cold is grim when you nose is constantly running and are trying to exercise and give instructions over the top of music.
I would recommend you try it and see if you have the same results as I did, because if it does work - it's fantastic! My only complaint is the cost for the size of the bottle, but if it keeps me in work, I figure it is worth it.

Sambucol Black Elderberry Extract
By Pipiar on 15 October 2012
We got this as read it was good for treating molluscum on children. Can't say it has done anything yet but unfortunately the bottle is so small that you get through it within a few days! They need to bring out a much bigger bottle and drop the price! I've ordered more but this time in a sugar free formula. It was way too sweet for us and kids. Sugar is terrible for the immune system so I find it ironic that this product has so much sugar in it!
