Can anyone tell me about a very popular gummy vitamin that is some type of Blackberry that is a boost to the immune system. ?

I think you are referring to elderberry. It's suppose to boost the immune system.

@BeccaLou Sambucol - has black elderberry.  There  could be something to elderberry and the immune system.  Over 15years ago I would get every cold flu (even with a flu shot) that went around where I worked which always ended up with ear issues and bronchitis.  I started taking elderberry juice daily and have never even had a cold.  I do have spring allergies but even that doesn't lead to ear issues and bronchitis like it used to.  May just be coincidence but...

@Pook I drink elderberry tea and have a honey made with elderberry and turmeric.  Sisters use an elderberry syrup.  Between us no bad colds/flu (fingers crossed) for quite some time.  Seems to work!

My daughter had been worried about me, (Bless her heart) and she sent me a bottle of the gummies. I have been taking them since they arrived. I know that they help.
