Busy back-to-school mornings and new fall routines are no match for you when you prepare for the season ahead. Sambucol has tips to set you and your family up for success and get the best start to this school year.

Essential Tips for the New School Year

  • Create an Evening Routine: Have a stress-free morning routine by organizing backpacks and extra-curricular items, such as piano books and sports equipment, the night before.
  • Stock Your Refrigerator and Pantry: Prep your kitchen with healthy and delicious lunch and snack items: easy-to-eat fresh fruit, veggies and healthy grab-and-go snacks.
  • Set Up a Paper Spot: Designate an “Important Paperwork” area to corral school forms and permission slips that need to be reviewed and signed. Post school schedules and calendar notes to keep track of important dates and events.
  • Prep Their Immunity: Start your kids’ days with Sambucol Black Elderberry Gummies for Kids, which taste great and help support their immune system.* Plus, they’ve got added Vitamin C and Zinc, are low in sugar and gluten free.

Why Elderberry?

Elderberries have been used since 400 BCE. Yep, you read that right. In fact, the classic Greek physician Hippocrates called elderberries, “Nature’s medicine chest,” and they’ve continued to be a helpful tool in supporting a healthy immune system for kids and grown-ups.

Support for All Ages

One kid loves gummies but isn't a fan of syrup, while your other child is the exact opposite? Oh, do we understand. With a wide variety of products, Sambucol has you covered. From infants to adults, there’s a form of black elderberry that will fit everyone in your family best:

  • Infant drops for toddlers and babies as young as six months
  • Syrups and gummies made just for kids
  • Drink powder, gummies and syrup, as well as chewable tablets, capsules and throat lozenges, for all other ages

Anytime, Anywhere

These little berries make a big impact, and the best part is you can take them daily anytime and anywhere. Add a gummy to your child’s lunch for mid-day immunity support. Enhance your teen’s favorite cup of hot tea with a quick pour of syrup. Carry the daily drink powder in your purse to add to your water any time of the day.
