Uses & Benefits
Feature Summary
ECHINAMIDE is the only echinacea extract clinically proven to increase immune response. When taken at the first sign of symptoms, Natural Factors ECHINAMIDE Echinacea Fresh Herb Tincture can help stop a cold from developing, ease symptoms, and accelerate healing.
Backed by more than a decade of research, ECHINAMIDE has been clinically proven as an effective treatment for upper respiratory tract infections in multiple randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials. A patented extraction method guarantees consistent levels of the three plant actives in Echinacea purpurea: alkylamides, cichoric acid, and polysaccharides. These compounds are the foundation of ECHINAMIDE’s powerful ability to reduce the length and severity of viral infections, and the whole herb base ensures no minor actives are missing.
While many supplements use only the purple flowers of this herb, ECHINAMIDE uses both flowers and highly potent roots. Natural Factors’ herbs are grown to the highest organic standards on a certified organic farm in British Columbia, or wild-crafted from organic sources and harvested when active ingredients are at their peak concentration. Each batch is rigorously tested to ensure purity and potency. The 1:1 liquid extract is equivalent to 1000 mg of crude herb.
