Echinacea Premium 1:2 is made from the roots of two Echinacea herbs to support healthy immune system function and support upper respiratory tract health.*
Echinacea has been traditionally used in herbal preparations to:
• Support healthy immune system function*
• Support healthy immune system response following temporary seasonal stressors*
• Encourage healthy upper respiratory tract function*
• Help relieve temporary mild throat discomfort associated with hoarseness, dry throat and irritants*
Echinacea Premium 1:2 combines the roots of Echinacea angustifolia and Echinacea purpurea to enlist properties unique to each. The blending of these two plant species ensures that the specific caffeic acid derivatives (cichoric acid, echinacoside, cynarin) and the lipophilic components (especially alkylamides) are present in appropriate quantities. This product contains a minimum of 1.5 mg/mL of alkylamides to ensure optimal strength and quality.
NOTEWORTHY FACTS
• Alkylamides are the clinically relevant active constituents of Echinacea and the major markers of quality and activity.ˆˆ
• 2-ene alkylamides
• occur in Echinacea angustifolia but barely or not at all in Echinacea purpurea
• protect the 2,4-diene alkylamides against degradation by cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes and thus improve the bioavailability of these important bioactive alkylamidesˆˆ
• are an important measure of quality
• 2,4 diene alkylamides
• occur in both Echinacea species but are rapidly degraded by hepatic CYP enzymes unless protected by 2-ene alkylamides from E. angustifolia
• The combination of both types of alkylamides in MediHerb’s Echinacea Premium results in a unique, bioavailable and clinically efficacious product.*
• The true value of combining alkylamides from the two Echinacea species has come to light through MediHerb’s extensive Echinacea research program, and the formulation is patented in Australia, New Zealand, USA and United Kingdom.
• Echinacea Premium provides the practitioner with a research-based, bioavailable, high-potency Echinacea product that is unrivaled.
