Truth be told, any answer given here will just be personal opinion (I can give you my opinion if you'd like). There are many higher quality companies out there that are readily available and well priced... just make sure the company has a good rating with either the GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) or USP (U.S. Pharmacopoeia), as those are the main quality assurance organizations (USP is for the U.S., GMP is for the U.S. and worldwide).
That being said, Elderberry is a fantastic immune system booster, but I've found that L-Lysine is actually one of the best nutrients for cold sores, so I'd try that first. You should be able to find either of those at most health food stores. Good luck!

Try iHerb.com. They have several elderberry products
put 'elderberry' in the search box
Use coupon code 'TIC557' to get $5 off your order at iHerb.com. This coupon is good for a new customer only.
Good Luck!

You can buy it at your local health food store or co-op. Good brands:
New Chapter Immunity Take Care
Gaia Herbs
Quantum
Nature's Way Sambucus
Flora
The best product in a health food store for cold sores is: Lysine tablets. You can take them to prevent or help clear them up.
Also good is Herpicin topical cream.
