Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
This liquid blend utilizes Echinacea and Goldenseal to modulate immune responses. Echinacea (Echinacea purpurea) contains alkamides and polysaccharides that interact with cannabinoid receptors and macrophages, enhancing phagocytosis and cytokine production. Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis) is rich in berberine and hydrastine. Berberine inhibits bacterial adhesion and disrupts microbial cell walls. It also inhibits NF-kB pathways, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines. Together, they support the innate immune system at the cellular level, targeting upper respiratory health and microbial balance.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Supports a healthy immune system response
- Promotes upper respiratory function
- Aids in maintaining microbial balance
- Provides antioxidant protection
- Supports mucous membrane health
Usage & Safety
Shake well before use. The standard dosage is 0.67 mL (approximately 20 drops) taken in a small amount of water or juice, 2 to 4 times daily. For best absorption, take between meals. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Consult a healthcare provider before use, especially if you are taking medications for blood pressure or diabetes, as berberine can interact with these drugs. Avoid use during pregnancy or nursing as per label warnings.
