ECHINAMIDE is a super-extracted Echinacea purpurea liquid that guarantees the high levels of alkylamides, polysaccharides and cichoric acid, the three key actives responsible for echinacea's effectiveness in clinical studies. ECHINAMIDE contains these actives in a base of the whole herb Echinacea purpurea.
Not all echinacea products are as effective as ECHINAMIDE. It has been clinically tested and proven to reduce the severity and duration of the common cold. The Anti-Viral formula combines the power of ECHINAMIDE with other potent herbs to fight viruses and strengthen your immunity. This incredibly potent herbal formula, also available in liquid, is used to stop a cold, flu, or other virus in its tracks.
How it works
A virus is a tiny strand of genetic material inside a protein shell. Because it is not a living cell, a virus needs a host to survive. When viruses invade an animal, they penetrate the host’s cells and use them to replicate. In the process, they damage or destroy the cells. The immune system recognizes these viruses as invaders and fights them.
Certain plants contain compounds that increase the immune system’s response. The active compounds in echinacea stimulate phagocytosis, the process by which white blood cells destroy foreign invaders, including bacteria and viruses. Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus) enhances the activity of natural killer (NK) cells that rapidly respond to viral infection. Lomatium (Lomatium dissectum) contains compounds called furocoumarins that disrupt the ability of viruses to replicate. Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) inhibits viruses from attaching to and penetrating host cells. Beta-glucans derived from reishi enhance the function of many immune cells, including monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells, neutrophils, and NK cells. Licorice (Glycyrrhiza glabra) contains glycyrrhizin and glycyrrhetinic acid, with immune-stimulating and anti-inflammatory properties.
Astragalus, reishi, and licorice all induce production of interferon, a signalling protein that triggers the immune system to attack infected cells and interferes with the ability of viruses to replicate.
