Modern research has shown Echinacea to exert significant effects on immune function in over 300 scientific investigations. Echinacea is thought to support the immune system by activating white blood cells and also increasing production of interferon, an important factor in fighting viral infections. However, there are a plethora of choices in the marketplace and what seems to determine the effectiveness of any herbal product is its ability to deliver an effective dosage of active compounds.In each 5ml dosage, Thompson’s new Echinacea Complex delivers over 2500mg of Echinacea. This means this product actually meets potency levels specified in research.As both Echinacea angustifolia and Echinacea purpurea exhibit a different profile of beneficial compounds, it makes sense to incorporate both types of Echinacea together in a complex. Furthermore, because different parts of the Echinacea plant yield stronger concentrations of actives, it is useful to combine roots and aerial parts of the plant to give a full spectrum of active ingredients. Thompson’s new Echinacea Complex 2500+ provides both angustifolia and purpurea (root and top). While an Echinacea product high in active compounds is critical to effectiveness, guaranteeing this level of active substance, bottle after bottle, dose after dose is equally important. Every 5 ml dose of Thompson’s new Echinacea is standardised to contain an impressive 3mg of the key active ingredients Alkylamides.

Recent studies have suggested that Echinacea may be less effective at preventing colds and flus and may have better efficacy in treating the symptoms of these conditions when used at the onset of these conditions. Echinacea is recommended for upper respiratory tract infections such as cold and flu. Furthermore, liquid Echinacea may help soothe a sore and inflamed throat.
