Echinacea 3,600 mg
Brand: Jamieson Natural Sources
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
The active compound in Echinacea Top Extract (600 mg) works by modulating the immune system at a cellular level. It stimulates the production of white blood cells, specifically macrophages and neutrophils, which are critical for fighting pathogens. Research suggests it enhances phagocytosis—the process where cells engulf bacteria and viruses. Additionally, Echinacea promotes the release of cytokines, chemical messengers that coordinate the body's immune response. This high-concentration extract aims to trigger these defenses rapidly, potentially reducing the duration of common colds and supporting respiratory health.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Supports a healthy immune response during seasonal changes
- May reduce the duration and severity of common cold symptoms
