Echinacea, an immune health hero, is a plant native to America but is now cultivated extensively in Europe. The echinacea plants used by A. Vogel are cultivated organically in Switzerland at their own herb farms.
Up to 10 species of Echinacea have been identified, but only three (E. purpurea, E. angustifolia and E. pallida) are used medicinally. Echinacea purpurea is considered to be the one which has been most widely researched and this is the species they use.
Their Echinacea is produced using extracts of freshly harvested, organically grown Echinacea purpurea herb and root, picked fresh and used within 24 hours of harvest. The benefit of using freshly harvested herbs has been demonstrated in research – extracts produced from fresh plants contain almost 3 times as many active substances compared with those obtained from equivalent amounts of dried herb.
A.Vogel Echinaforce® Echinacea is made from fresh extracts of Echinacea purpurea herb (95%) and root (5%).
This is why, when you need a herbal remedy to help you fight the symptoms of cold and flu, not all Echinaceas are the same.
If your throat is feeling scratchy then the Echinacea Throat Spray works brilliantly – put your tongue down and two squirts to the back of the throat and leave it to work its magic!
