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 derived from organic farming, wild harvesting, or conventional cultivation, it contains numerous micronutrients and essential bioactive compounds, primarily alkamides, polysaccharides, echinacosides, and flavonoids.
Reduced to powder for supplementation, our echinacea extract, derived from the aerial parts of the plant rather than its roots, can provide its benefits to the body, whether in winter or during other seasons.
Echinacea to strengthen the immune system
Thanks to its bioactive components and immunostimulating properties, echinacea helps fortify the natural defenses and contributes to strengthening and supporting the immune system.
Its primary uses are in prevention or treatment against colds, flu, or respiratory infections to support the defense system.
Also, due to its antiviral and antibacterial properties, it has demonstrated effectiveness against viruses, respiratory infections, and particularly in urinary infections such as cystitis.
Anti-inflammatory use
It helps reduce inflammation, especially during respiratory infections, wounds, or skin conditions by inhibiting the enzyme COX-2 (cyclooxygenase-2) responsible for inflammation when overproduced.
