ECHINACEA
Echinacea has gained world-wide
recognition as a natural alternative to Antibiotics. With the growing concern
about the increase of drug-resistant bacteria, due to the overuse of antibiotics,
such a natural alternative is most welcome.
Echinacea helps
to:
-
Increase immune function.
-
Reduce the effects
of colds and flu’s.
-
Fight off viral, bacterial
and fungal infections.
-
Purify the blood.
-
Flush waste from the
lymphatic system.
Known more commonly as the
purple coneflower, Echinacea Purpurea and Echinacea Angustifolia are the
two species most often used therapeutically. The most well studied immune
stimulating compounds found in Echinacea are the polysaccharides.
Unfortunately polysaccharides
can be easily destroyed by excessive alcohol (greater than 25%).
Echinacea also contains other immune stimulating compounds which must be
extracted with alcohol. A superior Echinacea product must contain
both the polysaccharides and also the compounds extracted with alcohol.
Therefore to solve this dilemma the Scientists at Omega Alpha Pharmaceuticals
used a patented "low" alcohol and water extraction process in order to
preserve the polysaccharides and also maximise the overall potency of the
Echinacea product. |
