How It Works
How It Works
Echinamide uses a patented triple-standardization process that guarantees high levels of alkylamides, polysaccharides, and cichoric acid — the three compounds proven most effective in clinical studies. The proprietary herbal blend works synergistically to support your body's natural immune response during seasonal challenges.
Who It's For
Adults seeking proactive immune support during cold season. Those who want research-backed herbal protection with standardized potency. People who prefer the convenience of softgels over liquid extracts.
Who It's Not For
Not suitable for those with soy allergies. Pregnant or nursing women should consult their healthcare provider before use.
About This Product
Natural Factors Echinamide Anti-Viral Herbal Extract is a five-herb softgel led by 44 mg of echinacea 25:1 extract. Used in Herbal Medicine to help fight off infections, especially of the upper respiratory tract.
What is Echinamide?
Echinamide is the Natural Factors name for its extract of Echinacea purpurea, prepared from the herb top and the root of certified organic echinacea grown in Canada. In these softgels it is combined with four other concentrated extracts: lomatium root, astragalus root, reishi mushroom fruiting body and licorice root. Every extract is concentrated 25:1, a ratio in which roughly 25 parts of plant material go into one part of finished extract. That is how a few milligrams in a softgel can stand for a much larger quantity of the original herb.
Key features
- 44 mg echinacea 25:1 extract per softgel
- 29 mg astragalus and 29 mg reishi mushroom extracts
- 18 mg lomatium and 7 mg licorice extracts
- Bottles of 60 or 120 softgels
- Gluten-free, non-GMO, dairy-free and soy-free
Why a softgel?
Liquid herbal extracts can taste strong and bitter. Sealing the same herbs inside a softgel gives a measured amount of each one without the taste of a tincture. Both bottle sizes hold the same five-herb formula.
