Has anyone else noticed weird side effects with Elderberry?
Hey all! I've been taking elderberry gummies for about a week now (the ones with zinc and vitamin C), and I've noticed that I'm having super vivid dreams at night. Not nightmares, just like... incredibly detailed and real-feeling. Anyone else? Also, my urine is like neon yellow, but that's probably the B vitamins, haha.
Ooh, the vivid dreams could be from the elderberry itself? Some studies suggest it may affect sleep quality or maybe it's the interaction with other supplements. But honestly, it's not harmful. The neon urine is def the B12 or riboflavin, so no worries there. Have you changed anything else in your routine? Might be worth noting if it persists.
I've been making my own elderberry syrup at home for years (way cheaper than gummies, you should try it!). I get crazy dreams too, but I kinda like them lol. Also, if you take it closer to bedtime that might amp up the dream factor. Try taking it in the morning and see if that helps. And yeah, the yellow pee is just excess vitamins, no stress.
Hi! I'm a fitness instructor and I take elderberry regularly to boost my immune system. I remember the first week I had some vivid dreams too, but they faded after my body adjusted. As long as you're not feeling dizzy or anything, it's probably fine. Just make sure you're drinking lots of water, especially since the extra vitamins might dehydrate you a bit. Also, what brand are you using? Sometimes fillers can cause weird reactions.
