What makes A.Vogel Echinaforce unique?

• A.Vogel Echinaforce is made from freshly harvested Echinacea purpurea resulting in a product with significantly higher levels of the anti-inflammatory active ingredient,
  Alkylamides, and stronger antiviral effect than dry plant extracts.
• Only A.Vogel Echinaforce is formulated using 95% aerial parts (herba) and 5% roots; this
  unique combination being proven to have the optimal anti-inflammatory and anti-viral action.
• A.Vogel Echinaforce is the most extensively researched and scientifically proven Echinacea product on the market with a proven mode of action, impressive safety profile and a number of clinical trials confirming its successful clinical application.

Mode of action:

• Antibacterial (direct bactericidal action, inhibits bacterial induced inflammation and prevents secondary bacterial infections by preventing the expression of bacterial receptors on host cells).
• Antiviral (direct viricidal action, inhibits viral induced inflammation, prevents viral entry into host cells and prevents viral propagation).
• Anti-inflammatory (inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokines).
• Immune system modulator (interacts with cannabinoid type 2 receptors within the immune system).

Clinically proven to:

• Prevent colds, flu and recurrent respiratory tract infections in general AND in those most vulnerable (stressed, sleep deprived, smokers, those with recurrent RTI) – young and old.
