Only Natural Factors ECHINAMIDE® extract has been proven to consistently enhance immune system function.

ECHINAMIDE™ is a patent pending extract of E. purpurea, certified organic echinacea grown in BC's Okanagan Valley at Factor Farms. Add the potent respiratory support of Golden Seal and you have a valuable ally against colds, flu and viruses.

The combination of Echinacea purpurea flowers and roots and Golden seal root (Hydrastis canadensis) in 3:1 ratio. This product can be used for severe illness. Echinacea and Goldenseal work together to fight a broad spectrum of viruses, bacteria, fungi and yeast. Goldenseal has anti-mucous properties and is excellent for bronchial infections.

ECHINAMIDE™ describes a patented, super-extracted Echinacea purpurea liquid that guarantees high levels of alkylamides, polysaccharides and cichoric acid, (together or individually), the three key actives that are responsible for echinacea's effectiveness in clinical studies and that contribute to make echinacea one of the world's most popular herbs for immune support.

ECHINAMIDE™ contains these actives in a base of the whole herb, so that none of the minor actives are missing. We prefer to use Echinacea purpurea because this species contains the highest levels of alkylamides, cichoric acid and polysaccharides.

Not all echinacea products qualify to be called ECHINAMIDE™. A proprietary double extraction process obtains the water-extracted polysaccharides and cichoric acid, as well as the alcohol-extracted alkylamides.
