Echinacea Extract ECHINACEA PURPUREA ROOT EXTRACT;ECHINACEA PURPUREA EXTRACT Echinacea angustifolia,Coneflower extract 289-808-4 90028-20-9 photo picture image Scientifically, echinacea has been found to stimulate the production of leukocytes, the white blood cells that fight infection in the body. It also assists phagocytes in their job of engulfing toxins and preparing them for disposal. These immune fighters also remove damaged cells and any other irregularities in the blood.
 It has a mild antibiotic effect, helping to protect cells from such invading pathogens as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The plant both stimulates the properdin/complement system, which helps the body control and prevent infections, and increases production of alpha- and alpha-2 gamma globulins, which prevents viral and other infections.
 Note: Each of the species has different medicinal properties; and some can be confused with, or adulterated by, Parthenium integrifoium, a non-therapeutic plant. This is more likely to result when manufacturers do not state the origin of their echinacea. E. angustifolia is considered to be the most potent by some practitioners.
