Nature's Way Echinacea

Nature's Way's popular Echinacea purpurea is organically grown by Trout Lake Farm, Washington. Echinacea purpurea supports the immune system. It grows wild and was used by the plains Indians more than any other herb. Echinacea is one of the most researched herbs, as its benefits have been shown in many European research clinics. An estimated 350 scientific studies have investigated echinacea's pharmacology and clinical uses with modern research showing that echinacea has many immune-stimulating effects. According to studies out of Europe, echinacea increases the number and activity of circulating immune-system cells as well as enhancing the body's production of immuno-active compounds such as interferon.

Directions: Take three capsules 3 times daily with water at mealtimes. After taking Echinacea for six to eight weeks, a two- to four-week break is recommended before restarting use for best results.

Warnings: Should not be used with known or suspected autoimmune diseases. Theoretically, all non-specific immunostimulatory agents are contraindicated in conditions in which the immune system itself causes disease disturbances of various body tissues. For example; generally contraindicated in multiple sclerosis (which involves a heightened immune response) and in tuberculosis. Do not use this product if you are allergic to flowers of the daisy family (composite flowers).
