Product Description

Echinacea species are perennials that belong to the Aster family and originate in eastern North America. Echinacea contains numerous active phytochemicals such as high-molecular-weight polysaccharides, caffeic acid derivatives, and alkyl amides contribut to its immunostimulatory action. Cichoric acid (a caffeic acid derivative) has also been shown to inhibit integrase, an important enzyme in viral reproduction. Echinacea has also exhibited anti-inflammatory action which is often attributed to the alkyl amides and high-molecular-weight polysaccharides.
