Echinacea 400 mg
Brand: Biovia
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
The primary active compound in Echinacea is Echinacea purpurea, which contains alkamides and polysaccharides. These compounds interact with immune cells like macrophages and monocytes. At the cellular level, they modulate cytokine production, potentially reducing inflammatory responses. NIH studies suggest Echinacea may inhibit viral replication by blocking viral entry into host cells. This mechanism supports the body's natural defense system, enhancing immune surveillance without overstimulating the immune response.
