Elderberry gummies: which flavor is actually the best?? I hated the grape one!
So I've been taking elderberry gummies for a few months now (intermittent fasting, so I need something to get me through the morning). I tried the grape flavor and honestly? It tasted like cough syrup. Gross. But I had a sample of the strawberry and it was amazing. Now I'm almost out and need to buy a full bottle. What's the consensus on the best elderberry gummy flavor? I don't wanna waste money on another dud. Help a girl out!
I feel you on the grape! I'm paleo so I try to stick to natural flavors and the grape ones always have that artificial taste. I've been using the elderberry gummies from [Brand X] in the raspberry flavor and they're pretty good. Not too sweet, kinda tart. But I've heard the mixed berry is also decent. Anyone tried that one?
Strawberry is my go-to! I'm a fitness pro and I take elderberry for immune support after tough workouts. The strawberry ones from [Brand Y] are bomb. They actually taste like real fruit, not candy. I tried the grape once and yeah, never again. Also, pro tip: check the sugar content if you're watching macros. Some brands pack in the sugar.
As an amateur chef, I'm picky about flavors. I've tried a bunch: grape is the worst, no contest. Strawberry is good, but I actually really like the elderberry + zinc ones that are unflavored or lightly honey-flavored. They're not as fun but they don't have that weird aftertaste. If you want flavor, go strawberry. If you want effectiveness without the ick, try the plain ones. Just my two cents.
Thanks everyone! Looks like strawberry is the winner. I'll grab a bottle of the strawberry from [Brand Y] next time. And XenonX82, I might try the plain ones too for days I'm not craving something sweet. Appreciate the help!
