Now Foods Echinacea 400mg 100Veg Capsules

Echinacea supports the immune system through multiple mechanisms that contribute to phagocytosis and T-Cell production. The extracts are standardized to specific levels of index compounds known to boost immunity. Derivatives of caffeic acid (echinacosides), polysaccharides, polyacetylenes, alkylamides and flavonoids are among the ingredients contained in this plant.

The main active ingredients of Echinacea are caffeic acid derivatives (phenolic compounds), alkylamides and polysaccharides. Chicory acid is the main phenolic compound in Echinacea purpurea, in greater concentration than in Echinacea pallida and Echinacea angustifolia.

NOW Echinacea contains 400 mg of the most active form of Echinacea purpurea. Echinacea purpurea, rich in chicory acid, is also known to stimulate the immune system, preventing inflammatory and viral diseases such as the common cold, flu and chronic respiratory infections.
