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 Clinical Strength Fresh Herb Extract can help stop a cold from developing, ease symptoms, and accelerate healing, and taken daily, it provides preventative immune support.
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. ECHINAMIDE uses a patented extraction method to guarantee consistent levels of the three known plant actives in Echinacea purpurea: alkyl amides, 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 from the formula.
While many supplements use only the purple flowers of this herb, ECHINAMIDE uses both flowers and roots. Natural Factors’ echinacea is grown to the highest organic standards on our own certified organic farm in British Columbia, and harvested when active ingredients are at their peak concentration. Each batch is rigorously tested to ensure purity and potency.
