Echinaforce tincture is a licensed herbal remedy for colds and flu. It supports the immune system and in doing so helps to maintain the body’s resistance to these infections. Echinaforce tincture is generally well absorbed the body and is made from fresh Echinacea which has a higher quantity of active substances in it. Echinaforce® Echinacea is a licensed medicine made from fresh extracts of Echinacea purpurea herb (95%) and root (5%).
Echinacea is a plant native to America but is now cultivated extensively in Europe. The plants which go into this product are cultivated organically in Switzerland at A.Vogel's herb farms. Up to 10 species of Echinacea have been identified, but only three (E. purpurea, E. angustifolia and E. pallida) are used medicinally. Echinacea purpurea is considered to be the one which has been most widely researched and this is the species we use.
Vogel Echinacea is produced using extracts of freshly harvested, organically grown Echinacea purpurea herb and root, picked fresh and used within 24 hours of harvest. The benefit of using freshly harvested herbs has been demonstrated in research - extracts produced from fresh plants contain almost 3 times more active substances compared with those obtained from equivalent amounts of dried herb*.

This stuff has kept me healthy for about 6 years now. Whenever I feel a cold or flu coming on or if I have any infections anywhere on my body, Echinac
...ea gets rid of it. You might not react as well as I do with it, because everyone is different, but it is worth a try, especially if you have nothing to lose and you feel like crap. It just tastes a bit foul, but its medicine, what do you expect???
Read the instructions, but do as you will. But I found that the dosage works best for me when mixed with a very small amount of water and if I kept it under my tongue for about 20 minutes. The skin in your mouth absorbs stuff more efficiently. If you would just swallow it, the medicine would have to deal with your digestive system and will be less effective.
