Description
How does Echinacea and Goldenseal work?
Echinacea and health
A large body of scientific evidence points to the effectiveness of
Echinacea on health. Extensive research has gone into determining
what the active ingredients are, and what they do. Both, Echinacea
leaves, and roots contain polysaccharides, phytosterols, phenols
(cichoric, caffeic, and caftaric acids and echinacoside), and
alkylamides. These support the production of white blood cells and
work as a natural antibiotic. They suppress the activity of a virus
while also stimulating your immune system’s T-cells. These
are its natural bacteria killers.
Goldenseal and health
Goldenseal is also native to North America. Widespread use
resulted in heavy over-harvesting of wild plants. So we use only
cultivated Goldenseal from Washington and Oregon. The root contains
alkaloids such as berberine and hydrastine which are strong
antibiotics, and fight infection by activating white blood cells.
It also has an antibacterial action on mucus membranes, and helps
to reduce gastric inflammation.
What does Echinacea and Goldenseal treat?
In herbal medicine, Echinacea is used to treat colds and flu, as
well as for curing urinary tract infections. It’s the best
selling herbal remedy in the United States, with a number of
scientific studies showing how beneficial it is to the immune
system. Goldenseal has also been shown to enhance immune-system
functioning. These two plants also stimulate each other and work in
synergy to produce more effective results. More detail about how it does this
One of the concerns that consumers have with all plant-based natural remedies is the consistency and strength of the ingredients. NaturalWellbeing sources the highest-quality ingredients. Then we carefully standardize them to ensure their consistency and effectiveness. Our Echinacea is standardized to 4% phenolic compounds, the main active compound in Echinacea. Our Goldenseal is commercially cultivated and is standardized to 5% total alkaloids. This way, you can be confident that our Echinacea and Goldenseal will be both consistent and effective.
Maintaining and Enhancing Immune Systems
Your immune system is your first and most important defense against disease and illness. It’s an intricate network of glands and cells that help your body cope when it’s invaded by disease. If this system is weakened, you are more susceptible to illness. If it’s properly stimulated, you are better able to resist. The wonderful thing about Echinacea and Goldenseal is that they are non-specific stimulators. While a vaccine only works against one specific disease, these plants stimulate the immune system to resist all kinds of invasions. They increase the number and activity of immune system cells which helps you fight infection.
Can Echinacea and Goldenseal really fight off cold & flu?
Yes. A huge number of scientific studies show that these two plants are effective helping your immune system fight off diseases.
Can I take this supplement all the time to fight illness?
No. It loses its effectiveness if taken all the time. We recommend using this for two weeks at a time. Then go off it for several weeks to let your body return to its normal state. Start taking it as soon as you feel an illness coming on.
Does taking Echinacea and Goldenseal cause any side effects?
Not if used as we recommend above.
Are Echinacea and Goldenseal addictive or habit forming?
No. They are all-natural supplements and are completely non-habit forming and safe to use.
What’s the recommended dosage?
Take 1 capsule twice daily as needed. Do not use for more than two consecutive weeks in a month.
Should I consult my doctor before using it?
This is a safe, natural supplement. All ages can use it. However, it’s always a good idea to consult with your doctor before taking it.
How long does it take before I see results?
If you take it as soon as you start getting sick, clinical studies have shown it will lessen the severity and duration of colds and flu by between 1 - 4 days.
