BENEFITS

EchinEeze® is a traditional herbal medicinal product used to relieve the symptoms of the common cold and influenza type infections based on traditional use only.

PRODUCT FEATURES

Each tablet contains 70mg of extract (as dry extract) from Echinacea purpurea root equivalent to  460-530mg of Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench root. 

Echinacea increases the production and activities of certain types of white blood cells, called lymphocytes and macrophages. These cells remove impurities (including bacteria, viruses and yeast cells) from the blood by engulfing them and breaking them down. The components responsible for this are thought to be: Alkylamides/Polyacetylenes, Caffeic acid derivatives and Polysaccharides.

Bacteria and viruses spread into the tissues by breaking down the “glue” between cells, allowing them to penetrate further. Caffeic acid derivatives are thought to protect the “glue”, called hyaluronic acid, from breakdown by bacteria and viruses and therefore slow the spread of infection. 

An acute anti-inflammatory response is caused by Echinacea’s Alkylamides/Polyacetylenes and polysaccharides. They stimulate certain white blood cells to move spontaneously to areas of  infection and kill bacteria.

Echinacea also increases interferon production, a substance produced by cells that restricts the growth of viruses.
