Hi Mark & Donnie
Echinacea is supposed to help by stimulating the immune system to fight off viral infections more effectively.
Unfortunately all studies to date have only shown a very slight reduction if any in the chances of catching a cold, and has shown no effectiveness in reducing the duration of a cold or any other upper respiratory tract infection.
In my honest opinion the very minimal proven effectiveness of this product does not warrant it’s regular use, and on top of that the side effects include stomach pain and nausea, and long term daily use of 8 weeks or more has been known to cause liver damage.
Best give this one a miss.
Cheers, Tom
