| Our Echinacea capsules contain equivalent of 3200mg of Echinacea purpurea plant.
Echinacea is a natural herb which can assist your body's immune defences to fight infection and protect against colds and flu.
Echinacea is now one of the best selling herbal remedies in Europe and America and continues to gain recognition and popularity as a safe and effective immune-system booster.
Ultra Health and Beauty uses the most effective species of echinacea, 'Echinacea purpurea'. Several constituents in echinacea are believed to work together to support the body's natural defence system but research suggests that cichoric acid appears to be the primary immune stimulating, anti-microbial constituent. It is obtained from the expressed juice of the 'above ground' parts of the plant Echinacea purpurea and is most abundant in the leaves and the flower heads themselves.
Each Ultra Capsule contains 320mg of highly concentrated fresh plant juice extract (10:1) obtained from 3200mg of fresh herb. This extract is standardised to contain 3% of the active ingredient cichoric acid. Our extract also contains alkamides, glycoproteins and polysaccarides that are also effective as immunity modulators; but for consistency of quality, this extract has been standardised on cichoric acid.
