Echinacea dietary supplement
Echinacea, native to the vast plains of North America, is a plant with remarkable medicinal properties. Its use and virtues have been valued for centuries by indigenous Indian peoples.
Whether organically grown, wild-crafted or non-organic, it contains numerous micronutrients and active principles essential to the body, such as alkamides, polysaccharides, echinacosides and flavonoids.
Reduced to a powder for use in supplementation, our echinacea extract, derived from the aerial part of the plant rather than its roots, can bring its benefits to the body whether in winter or in other seasons.
Echinacea to boost the immune system
Thanks to its bioactive components and immunostimulant properties, echinacea fortifies the body's natural defenses and helps strengthen and support the immune system.
Its main uses are as a preventive treatment or cure for colds, flu or chills, to support the immune system.
Thanks to its antiviral and antibacterial properties, it has also proved effective against viruses, respiratory infections and, in particular, urinary tract infections such as cystitis.
Anti-inflammatory use
Reduces inflammation, notably in respiratory infections, wounds and skin conditions, by inhibiting the COX-2 enzyme (cyclooxygenase-2) responsible for inflammation when it is over-produced.
Active as an antioxidant
Protects cells from free radicals responsible for oxidative stress and premature cell aging.
