Product Information

In fact, with a massive epidemic of flu in the Southern Hemisphere reported this year, record numbers of cases are predicted to hit the UK. Respiratory tract infections (RTIs) – which is a blanket term for infections of the chest, nose and throat – are a major clinical issue leading to a high number of hospitalisations. It’s also possible have an allergic reaction to echinacea, so starting slowly, in small doses, is important. There’s one thing that for years has been hailed as a natural cold prevention and treatment remedy – echinacea.

But what’s the actual evidence for echinacea’s effectiveness? And what is it proven to actually do? You know that thing where you get a cold and you think it’s over but then you get a worse one with the symptoms of full-blown flu – or the symptoms just won’t go away, or perhaps moves to your chest. A clear olive aromatic, bitter liquid in amber glass dropper bottles. Fresh plant tinctures can occasionally become cloudy, which does not however affect the efficacy of the product. So long as you aren’t allergic to Echinacea, or taking immunosuppressant medication, or in the grip of some disease that affects immune cells, there’s not much to worry about (although obviously, always read any leaflets that come with Echinacea products – they’re there to help).Those in the study were taking Echinaforce Echinacea Drops. Proven effect #5: It’s as effective as flu medication There are many factors in our day-to-day lives, such as stress or an unhealthy diet, that can weaken the immune system. Echinacea can be beneficial here as it is well-known for its ability to strengthen the immune system and keep colds and flu at bay. Echinaforce Echinacea Drops The majority of children aged using the echinacea remained free of respiratory tract infections (RTIs) and overall there were 32.1 per cent fewer cold and flu episodes than in the vitamin C group. Where RTIs still occurred, they were less severe and shorter by 3.3 days than those in the vitamin C group. Echinaforce ® Echinacea is made from fresh extracts of Echinacea purpurea herb (95%) and root (5%). It is available as drops (tincture in 15ml, 50ml & 100ml bottles) and as tablets (42 tablets & 120 tablets). We are, however, often asked, in general terms, about using the herb Echinacea preventatively and our honest answer is that there is definitely evidence to support this. This is one of the ways the herb Echinacea has been used for centuries, and Alfred Vogel himself used it daily into his healthy nineties, and never had the bother of a cold.

It’s become a popular plant to grow in North America, however. Also called Echinacea purpurea, commonly known as the pale purple coneflower, the echinacea plant is a favorite of gardeners and butterfly enthusiasts. An attractive flower that resemble daisies with mounded heads and rose, pink or purple petals, it grows on strong stems far above the foliage. The fresh plant preparation Echinaforce® drops is made from the fresh, blooming leaves and fresh roots of the Echinacea purpurea plant. Echinacea lozenges contain echinacea, essential oils, herb extracts and honey. Those who are already infected may find they help to soothe a sore or irritated throat. Echinaforce Sore Throat Spray A meta-analysis of studies published in 2015 in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that echinacea use, if started when the first symptoms appear, may help modestly reduce the duration and severity of the common cold. 3.

Patients who suffer from any form of an autoimmune disease, must please consult with their health practitioner or homoeopath before using this product. Echinaforce has a modulating effect on the immune response. The alkylamides are the active components in echinaforce. They bind specifically to the CB2-receptor an endocannabinoid receptor. Through this linkage, activation of the gene for tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) takes place. The reaction to pathogens with Echinaforce results in a modulated release of TNF-alpha and acts to produce long-lasting response of the immune system. Echinacea is also a fantastic remedy for a whole slew of infections. One study found that taking echinacea and applying a medicated cream to the skin can lower the rate of reoccurring vaginal infections by to 16 percent compared to simply taking the medicine alone. But how can we stimulate our own immune response to help us fight those pesky pathogens before they become a cold or flu? It helps maintain the body's resistance bysupporting the immune system. The benefit of this is that the body is able to fight the symptoms of cold, flu and upper respiratory tract infections better.
