ECHINAMIDE® is the only standardized echinacea extract shown in placebo-controlled clinical trials to reduce the duration and severity of upper respiratory infections. It is manufactured using the proprietary EnviroSimplex® process, which isolates and concentrates three key active compounds (alkylamides, cichoric acid, and polysaccharides) in a clinically proven ratio, delivered in a base of the whole herb to preserve minor actives. Certified organic echinacea, grown and processed in Canada. The supporting herbs — lomatium, astragalus, reishi, and licorice — each provide complementary immune-supporting properties in a synergistic herbal blend.
