2. Product Efficacy and Mechanism of Action

Echinacea purpurea extract is a well-researched botanical known for its immune-supporting properties. Its efficacy is attributed to a combination of active compounds, including alkylamides, polysaccharides, and caffeic acid derivatives like chicoric acid.

Efficacy 1: Immune System Support

Mechanism of Action: The active compounds in Echinacea extract stimulate the immune system by activating macrophages and T-cells, which are crucial for the body's defense against pathogens. It also promotes the production of cytokines, a type of protein that regulates immune responses, helping the body fight off infections more effectively.1Echinacea Extract_ Mechanism of Action - visual selection

Supporting Data: Numerous clinical studies demonstrate that Echinacea supplementation can reduce the duration and severity of the common cold. A meta-analysis published in a peer-reviewed journal concluded that prophylactic use of Echinacea can significantly reduce the incidence of colds.2

Efficacy 2: Anti-inflammatory Properties

Mechanism of Action: Echinacea extract exhibits anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α and IL-6. It also modulates the activity of enzymes like cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), which plays a key role in the inflammatory process. This can help to alleviate symptoms associated with mild inflammation.3Echinacea Extract_ Mechanism of Action in Anti-Inflammation - visual selection

Supporting Data: In-vitro and animal studies have shown that Echinacea extract reduces markers of inflammation and can mitigate inflammatory responses in the respiratory system, complementing its role in fighting infections.4


 

3. Market Applications

Echinacea Purpurea Extract is a highly sought-after ingredient in the dietary supplement market.

Dietary Supplements: It is primarily used in capsules, tablets, tinctures, liquid drops, and lozenges.

Dosage: A typical daily dose ranges from 300-500mg of a standardized extract, taken in divided doses. For acute immune support, higher doses may be recommended for short periods.

Target Population: Adults and children (consult a healthcare professional for children) seeking to support their immune systems, especially during cold and flu season or in stressful periods.

Functional Foods & Beverages: Can be incorporated into immune-boosting teas, juice blends, and health shots.

 

4. Our Advantages

Product Comparison:

Superior Standardization: Many generic Echinacea extracts on the market have inconsistent active compound levels. Our extract is meticulously standardized to a minimum of 4% total phenolics (or chicoric acid), ensuring a consistent and reliable dosage of key active compounds.

Sustainably Sourced & Pure: We collaborate with certified organic farms to ensure our raw materials are grown without pesticides or harmful chemicals. This commitment to purity is verified through rigorous third-party testing for heavy metals and contaminants.

Optimized Extraction: Our proprietary extraction method preserves the full spectrum of active constituents, including both the water-soluble polysaccharides and the alcohol-soluble alkylamides. This provides a more comprehensive and synergistic effect compared to single-solvent extracts.


Quality Assurance: Our manufacturing facilities are certified with ISO 9001 and cGMP standards, guaranteeing traceability, quality, and safety from farm to finished product.

Technical Support: We provide comprehensive technical documentation, including Certificates of Analysis (CoA) and product specifications, to support your product development and regulatory compliance.
