WHY WE STOCK IT
A concentrated, single-herb liquid extract made from the leaf and root of Echinacea purpurea. It is traditionally used in herbal medicine to support respiratory health and help relieve symptoms associated with colds and upper-respiratory infections.
 
The liquid format allows for a small 1 mL serving that can be taken directly or mixed with water or juice.
 
BEST FOR
Adults seeking short-term herbal support at the onset of common-cold or respiratory symptoms. The 1:1 extract provides the equivalent of 1,000 mg of echinacea leaf and root in each 1 mL serving.
 
Evidence for echinacea is mixed, and results may vary. It does not prevent every cold, treat influenza or replace an antibiotic when a bacterial infection requires one.
 
HOW TO TAKE IT
Adults: Shake well and take ¼ teaspoon (1 mL) three times daily. It may be mixed with water or juice.
 
At the labelled dose of 3 mL daily, the 120 mL bottle provides approximately a 40-day supply.
 
Consult a healthcare practitioner for use longer than eight weeks.
 
Refrigerate after opening and consume within six months.
 
MEDICATION AND SAFETY CAUTIONS
Consult a healthcare practitioner before use if you:
Take an immunosuppressant or medication following an organ transplant
Have an autoimmune condition or progressive systemic disease, including multiple sclerosis, tuberculosis, leukosis or collagenosis

Do not use if you are allergic to echinacea or another plant in the daisy family, including ragweed, chrysanthemums, marigolds or daisies.
 
An allergic reaction may include rash, itching, swelling, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Stop use immediately if hypersensitivity occurs and seek emergency care for facial or throat swelling or breathing difficulty.
 
This formula contains 15% ethanol. Ask a healthcare professional before use if you avoid alcohol because of liver disease, alcohol-use disorder, pregnancy, medication interactions or another medical reason.
 
Seek medical assessment for difficulty breathing, chest pain, confusion, dehydration, a persistent high fever, symptoms that are severe or worsening, or symptoms that improve and then return. Echinacea should not delay testing or treatment for influenza, COVID-19, pneumonia or another significant infection.
