Echinacea and immune health studies

The active compounds in echinacea, including echinacosides, alkamides, and phenolic compounds. Both species of echinacea (E. purpurea and E. angustifolia) have been shown to also help lessen the duration and severity of immune challenges. Clinical studies also indicate that supplementing with echinacea may give you a better chance of staying healthy all season long, as well.¹

Echinacea has been used to support immune health for centuries. But there’s more than one kind of echinacea—and the various compounds that help your body protect itself are found in different parts of the plant.

The solution: make an echinacea supplement from the two most studied echinacea species: Echinacea purpurea and Echinacea angustifolia—and use standardized, whole-plant extracts.
