Echinacea Root Botanical Immune Support 60 Tabs Echinacea is one of North America's most celebrated and relied upon botanicals for mobilizing our natural immune defenses. Michael Tierra was largely responsible for bringing this valued botanical back into Western herbal practice after 35 years of disuse. Planetary Formulas Echinacea Root contains 1,000 mg of freshly harvested, wild crafted Echinacea root. KEY FEATURES Echinacea works with the bodies own defense mechanisms. It contains polysaccharides called Echinacins, which bind to cells and prevent viruses from invading. By protecting cells and preventing their breakdown, it counters the spread of viruses and reduces inflammation. Echinacea also improves immune function by increasing the chemical recognition of an invading virus; the speed at which the immune cells migrate to the site of infection and destroy the virus is markedly increased. Echinacea was used traditionally, to help heal insect bites, diphtheria, typhoid, blood poisoning, and other diseases such as tuberculosis that affect the body's immune system. Even if you don't start taking Echinacea at the first sign of illness, this herb can shorten the severity and duration of many common illnesses. It helps keep infections from settling deeper into the body. Suggested Use: One to two tablets daily between meals, or as recommended by your health care professional.
