Research on Echinacea

Active compounds in echinacea, including echinacosides, alkamides, and phenolic compounds, promote an active and healthy immune response in various ways: preclinical studies indicate that echinacea promotes the activity of natural killer cells. Natural killer cells are the body's first, immediate response to previously unknown immune challenges. This makes them an invaluable part of both seasonal and year-round readiness.

Both echinacea species (E. purpurea and E. angustifolia) have also been shown to help reduce the duration and severity of immune challenges. Clinical studies also indicate that supplementation with echinacea can give you a better chance of staying healthy throughout the season.

Benefits of Echinacea for the Immune System

Cytokines are a group of chemical compounds released by immune cells. Echinacea compounds can help inhibit these cytokines, supporting a healthy immune response. The better your immune system functions, the easier it is to stay healthy.
