Elderberry Gummies for Immune Support (Kid-Friendly + Gut-Boosting!)

When cold and flu season hits, these homemade elderberry gummies are one of my favorite ways to support our family’s immune system naturally. They’re made with real elderberry syrup and grass-fed gelatin, so they’re packed with nutrients that both strengthen the immune system and nourish the gut.

My toddler loves them! They’re slightly sweet, chewy, and a less messy way for little ones to get their daily elderberry!

Why Make Elderberry Gummies?

Elderberries have been used for centuries to help the body fight off colds, flus, and respiratory infections. Modern research shows that elderberry extract may help reduce the duration and severity of cold and flu symptoms, while also supporting a healthy inflammatory response.

Pairing elderberry syrup with high-quality, grass-fed gelatin and raw local honey makes these gummies even more beneficial!

Raw honey adds natural sweetness while providing enzymes, antioxidants, and trace minerals that support immune function.Using local honey may help your body adapt to seasonal allergens, which is a great bonus during the winter months.The gelatin supports gut health and tissue repair, making this combo deeply nourishing for the immune system and digestive health alike.

Together, these ingredients make a powerful, real-food immune support you can feel good about giving your family.

Kid-Friendly and Easy to Make

These elderberry gummies come together in just a few minutes of active cooking time and can be stored in the fridge or freezer for easy grab-and-go servings.

My son enjoys fruit and veggie gummies by the handful, but these are more medicinal, so I give him about 8ml per day for prevention, and a little more if he’s starting to show signs of getting sick. You’ll want to weigh your gummies, since every mold makes slightly different sizes.

Tips for the Best Elderberry Gummies

Use high-quality gelatin from grass-fed cows for maximum nutritional benefits.

Use raw local honey for added immune and antioxidant benefits. Avoid boiling water when mixing, otherwise you’ll destroy the beneficial properties of the honey.

Store in glass containers to maintain freshness and avoid plastic exposure. Keep them refrigerated and enjoy within two weeks, or freeze for longer storage.

Natural Immune Support for the Whole Family

These gummies have become a staple in our home! Such a simple, nourishing way to keep our immune systems strong through the colder months. They’re easy to make, toddler approved, and made entirely from real, whole-food ingredients.
