Echinacea extract - immunostimulatory agent, an immunomodulator of plant origin.
The extract of Echinacea has antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and antiviral (against pathogens influenza and herpes) properties. Most studies confirm immune-boosting activity of Echinacea.
The plant Echinacea purpurea L. is traditionally used in various infectious diseases. The plant contains in its composition: polysaccharides, caffeic acid derivatives (including Echinacoside), polyacetylene, alkylidene amides (mainly isobutylamides), essential oils with sesquiterpenes. Had traces of pyrrolizidine alkaloids.
Apparently, the impact is to intensify the cleansing of the body from pathogenic microorganisms, viruses, and toxins. In particular, the influence of polysaccharides, alkaloidy amines and derivatives Kapinovo acid (but not echinoidea) gives the maximum effect. Alkaloid amines have an inhibitory effect on the lipoxygenase, and the number of derivatives Kapinovo acid and polyacetylene possess direct antibacterial activity. Oral ingestion of Echinacea significantly suppressed the process of tissue necrosis from injured rats.
Extract of Echinacea as a nonspecific stimulant that increases the body's resistance.
The extract of Echinacea increases the number of leukocytes (granulocytes, T-lymphocytes), activity of phagocytes, prevent the penetration of pathogenic germs into the organism, suppresses the proliferation and promotes elimination.
Extract of Echinacea lengthens the intervals between separate colds in the winter, softens the symptoms and reduces their duration.
