Echinacea is a flowering plant in the daisy family, native to eastern and central North America. The remedial usage of Echinacea began in its place of origin, in North America, where it was historically used by various American Indian tribes for different purposes.
It may be surprising to learn that there are actually 10 different species of Echinacea, 3 of which have been proved to have medicinal qualities. In our extracts, we only use the variety known as: Echinacea purpurea, which is arguably the most medicinal. This is due to the fact that the entirety of the plant possesses the medicinal qualities, whereas the other 2 varieties use only the roots of the plant.
In terms of the production of our Echinacea supplements, we source only from cultivated and sustainable farms and never from wild habitats. Each tablet contains 1,000mg Echinacea Extract Whole herb equivalent.
