I’m going to be honest and say I don’t often take supplements, especially when they’re in pill or capsule form. But, sometimes, they can really help. When I do take them, I prefer gummies because they are easy to pop in my mouth. Recently, I tried Viva Naturals Elderberry, Vitamin C + Zinc Gummies in Raspberry Rush flavor that are designed to support the immune system.
We all went through a multi-year pandemic and know the importance of boosting our immunity. No one enjoys being ill. So far, I managed to skate through it without catching anything and I believe it’s because I always try to eat real food, exercise, and take precautions.
What I like about Viva Naturals is that all its products have been sourced from Mother Earth. Only the finest ingredients are used in its supplements, and they are affordable.
Viva Naturals Elderberry Gummies provide 150 mg of Elderberry, 45 mg of Vitamin C, and 5 mg of Zinc. You take 2 gummies per day after a meal for a total of 20 calories. They are non-GMO, gluten-free, and dairy free. I make sure to take mine right after my first meal of the day.
Antioxidant goodness that is easy to take
Elderberries are an excellent source of antioxidants and vitamins that are often used for immunity in the form of cough drops and homeopathic cold medicines. That’s because they reduce inflammation and stress in the body and protect the heart.
Viva Naturals uses European Elderberries which are darker than American berries. Dark berries are thought to be best for medicinal purposes because they contain higher amounts of antioxidants, minerals, vitamins, and phenolic acid.
European elderberry has been used as a medicinal as early as 400 B.C. when the Greek physician Hippocrates was said to call his elder tree his “Medicine Chest.”
Other organic ingredients
To make gummies palatable, sweeteners are often added. Some brands use iffy artificial sweeteners. Viva Naturals makes its gummies with organic tapioca syrup and organic cane sugar. It’s like having a special treat each morning.
Why I believe in Viva Naturals
I love the fact that Viva Naturals uses organic and pure ingredients. It also offers organic foods such as psyllium husk, goji berries, and maca root as well as luxurious organic oils for skincare.
