China Echinacea Purpurea Extract

Tests have proven that Echinacea can relieve the symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections and colds in the early stages, and can shorten the duration of the illness, especially for early symptoms. Many American family doctors currently recommend patients use Echinacea medicine to prevent upper respiratory tract infections and other inflammatory diseases. They point out that for the early stages of colds and flu in healthy young people, Echinacea may be a reasonable choice, potentially even better than antibiotics.

Echinacea is used for the treatment and prevention of diseases mainly by activating different immune cells to improve the function of the body's immune system.

• In human medicine, Echinacea is widely used in the treatment of bronchial asthma, genital herpes, various infectious and immune disorders, cancer, and AIDS. Echinacea can increase the phagocytosis of pathogens by alveolar macrophages and boost the body's resistance. It can also produce a variety of cytokines, controlling their activity and the activity of other immune cells.
• In veterinary medicine, experiments have shown that feeding Echinacea to horses can increase the phagocytosis of neutrophils and the number of peripheral lymphocytes, effectively stimulating the immune activity of horses. The plant extracts act as a blood tonic for horses, increasing the number of hemoglobin, red blood cells, and some physiological and training indicators. Feeding Echinacea purpurea root products as feed additives to chickens significantly increased the weight of the experimental group and reduced coccidia infection.
