No matter how healthy you are, sometimes your body needs help—especially when you’re trying to fend off a cold or you’re fighting an infection. And no two herbs are more noted for their immune-enhancing and infection-fighting properties than Echinacea and Golden Seal. That’s why Basic Organics has combined them into a convenient, single-capsule formulation. Echinacea contains copper, iron, iodine, potassium sulfur, tannins, protein, fatty acids, and vitamins A, C and E. Its other constituents are essential oil, polysaccharides, polyacetylenes, betain, glycoside, sesquiterpenes and caryophylene. It is the polysaccharides that stimulate the immune system to increase the production of T-cells—a type of white blood cell—that attack invading microorganisms and toxins in the bloodstream. That’s why Echinacea is often referred to as a natural antibiotic. The ingredients in Golden Seal include calcium, manganese, iron, and vitamins A, C, E and B-complex. Golden Seal also contains the alkaloids berberine and hydrastine, which are noted for destroying many types of bacterial and viral invaders. These alkaloids are also responsible for relieving congestion, as well as reducing gastric inflammation. Golden Seal’s astringent properties can help soothe the irritated mucous membranes of the nose, throat and eyes. Golden Seal is also noted for its ability to enhance the efficacy of other herbs. This synergy between Golden Seal and Echinacea is what makes it the first supplement you should reach for at the first sign of cold or flu symptoms. This combination not only helps lessen the duration of the cold or flu, it also helps reduce fever, and supports the immune system in fighting other upper respiratory infections. Suggested Usage: Take 3 or 4 capsules each day. Take with water. |
