Echinaforce in the Treatment of Colds and Flu.

A recently published review of Echinacea trials by the authoritative Cochrane Library gives some very positive news for Echinacea purpurea, the herb variety used in Echinaforce.

This latest research confirms that Echinaforce is an effective treatment for colds and flu.

The key findings are:

There IS EVIDENCE that Echinacea purpurea is effective in the early treatment of colds. Echinacea preparations differ greatly in quality and effectiveness. Products using Echinacea purpurea based on the aerial parts of the plant are more likely to be effective.

Beneficial effects of other Echinacea preparations or products may exist, but have not been proven in independent, rigorous trials.
