Additional Information

Andrew Lessman’s ECHINACEA is our special blend of two standardized extracts of the Echinacea plant, which is the most frequently consumed supplement for those seeking to support their immune system. Echinacea has been studied extensively in Europe for its beneficial effects on the immune system, and has also been used traditionally for centuries by Native Americans for immune system support. We provide high levels of a standardized blend of the most active, researched and beneficial forms of the Echinacea plant – Purpurea and Angustifolia. Both of these special extracts are standardized for their total Phenol content and are included in a special two to one ratio for optimum balance and efficacy. We also include our unique non-acidic Vitamin C, since it is so easily depleted by stress and is also essential to support optimal immune system function. These standardized Echinacea extracts offer high quality nutritional support for your immune system when you need it most.
