Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Be very careful, this product contains a very large amount of echinacea. I purchased this at face value by looking at main image that clearly states it is Elderberry. Well, not true. This contains over 200 mg of ECHINACEA and only about 25 mg of elderberry! I had planned to give this for daily maintenance but anyone who is experienced in the use of herbs knows that echinacea should NOT BE GIVEN longterm for more than THREE MONTHS. If you are using this for daily maintenance this needs to be considered. Also, echinacea should not be taken on an empty stomach as it can cause bleeding ulcers. My daughter came down with a cold virus and I started giving this to her three times a day on an empty stomach because she had no appetite. She kept complaining that she had pain in her stomach and I thought she had a stomach virus because she vomitted once. I didn't put two and two together until she went one, two, three days without throwing up again, but she did keep complaining of stomach ache every time I would give the elderberry to her. Finally I looked on the side of the bottle and low and behold ECHINACEA! Nature's Way really needs to add the words "with Echinacea" on their product description. Actually this should read, "Echinacea syrup with Elderberry"!! I feel awful that I was not more careful and did not double check ingredients before administering this to my daughter. We usually subscribe to this but I have cancelled my subscription. I am very disappointed.
