Organic Echinacea Root Extract
Echinacea is one of the most respected herbs worldwide and best known for its beneficial effects on the immune system.
Cold/Flu:
One review of 16 studies concluded that echinacea was more effective than a placebo at preventing and treating upper respiratory infections like the common cold.
Another review of 14 studies found that it reduced the odds of developing the common cold by 58% and decreased the duration of symptoms by 1.4 days.
Similarly, in one study in 80 people, taking echinacea at the onset of cold symptoms reduced the duration of symptoms by 67%, compared with a placebo.
Recurrent infections:
In a review including nearly 2,500 people, echinacea extract was found to reduce the risk of recurrent respiratory tract infections and decrease complications like pneumonia, tonsillitis, and ear infections.
Anti-viral:
Studies on Echinacea extracts have shown that they possess multiple beneficial actions in the treatment of viral respiratory infections. A combination of beneficial activities could reduce the amount of prevailing viable virus, and their transmission, and also lead to amelioration of the virus-induced symptoms.
Active Ingredients
Echinacocide and polysaccharides
Echinacea has been traditionally used to protect from both physical and spiritual conditions. Evidence suggests that Native Americans may have used echinacea for more than 400 years to treat infections and wounds, and as a general "cure-all."
Our Echinacea is organically cultivated for six years on our partner co-operative farms near Bologna, Italy. The roots are harvested, cleaned, and processed on site, they then undergo gentle extraction and are suspended in glycerine, providing a natural, alcohol-free formulation.
Organic Echinacea Extract is rich in echinacoside, polysaccharides and other key compounds to support the body's natural defences.
