Started elderberry for sleep, but my skin is glowing?!
Okay, so I started taking elderberry gummies about 2 weeks ago because I’ve been desperate for better sleep (toddler life, y’all). I haven’t noticed a huge change in sleep yet, but my skin looks amazing! Like, clearer and brighter. Anyone else have this? Is this a known side effect?
that’s awesome! i’ve heard elderberry is packed with antioxidants, so it could be helping with inflammation. maybe it’s reducing any skin redness? i take it for immune support, but my sleep has been better too. placebo effect maybe? lol
Oh yeah, elderberry is legit for skin! I’m a barista and my hands are always dry and cracked from constant washing. Started taking elderberry gummies and the skin on my hands healed way faster. Also, I’ve been crashing harder at night. But I still need my 3 cups of coffee. 😅
Funny you mention skin – I actually make my own elderberry syrup from scratch (chef life). The berries have anthocyanins which are like natural sun protection from the inside out. So yes, could def help skin. For sleep, try adding a magnesium gummy at night, total game changer.
Thanks for the validation! I thought I was imagining it. And Bob, I might try that magnesium combo. Anything for more zzz’s. But hey, glowing skin is a nice bonus!
