Echinacea Root (Echinacea purpurea): Echinacea is a plant native to North America, used for centuries by indigenous populations for its therapeutic properties. Echinacea root is rich in bioactive compounds, including polyphenols, alkylamides, and glycoproteins, which can contribute to immune system stimulation. Echinacea is known for its ability to reduce the duration and severity of cold and flu symptoms, as well as for its anti-inflammatory effect.
 

Goldenseal Root (Hydrastis canadensis): Goldenseal is a perennial plant native to the eastern regions of North America. Goldenseal root is prized for its high content of alkaloids, especially berberine, which provides antimicrobial and antibacterial properties. Goldenseal is traditionally used to support digestive and respiratory health, with the ability to calm irritated mucous membranes and promote toxin elimination.




 

Echinacea & Goldenseal Root Benefits

 

• Enhances Immune Response Against Microbes

Echinacea and Goldenseal Root contain active compounds that stimulate the immune system, increasing its ability to recognize and fight against pathogens. Echinacea boosts the activity of leukocytes and macrophages, key cells in the primary immune response, while Goldenseal's alkaloids, especially berberine, inhibit bacterial adherence to host cells, thus preventing infections.

 

• Reduces Duration and Severity of Infections

By activating and supporting the immune system, Echinacea and Goldenseal Root can reduce the duration of upper respiratory infections and other common conditions. Their direct antiviral and antibacterial effects contribute to the rapid elimination of pathogens, decreasing symptom severity and accelerating recovery.

 

• Prevents Flu and Common Cold

Prophylactic use of Echinacea and Goldenseal Root can strengthen the immune system, making it more effective in preventing viral infections such as flu and the common cold. This preventive approach is particularly useful during peak flu seasons or when exposure to viruses is inevitable.

 

• Combats Bacteria, Viruses, Fungi

The bioactive compounds in Echinacea and Goldenseal, including polyphenols, alkylamides, and alkaloids like berberine, have demonstrated antimicrobial properties, fighting against a wide range of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. This makes the supplement a versatile option for supporting health against multiple types of pathogens.

 

• Natural Systemic Anti-inflammatory

Inflammation is a natural defense reaction of the body, but when it becomes chronic, it can contribute to the development of diseases. Echinacea and Goldenseal Root have anti-inflammatory properties, helping to reduce systemic inflammation and alleviate symptoms associated with various inflammatory conditions.

 

• Increases Production of Antibodies and Interferons

Echinacea stimulates antibody production, thereby enhancing the body's ability to neutralize pathogens. It can also encourage interferon production, proteins that play a crucial role in antiviral defense. These mechanisms of action help in forming a robust immunity and faster recovery from illness.
