The antiviral formula offers a synergistic combination of five clinically validated plant extracts, standardized to ensure optimal potency and efficacy. ECHINAMIDE is a well-established formulation of organically grown Echinacea purpurea, triple-standardized for key constituents (alkylamides, chicoric acid, and polysaccharides) that have been shown to enhance immune function and significantly reduce cold symptoms in randomized clinical trials. ECHINAMIDE stimulates non-specific immunity, increasing total white blood cell, neutrophil, monocyte, and natural killer cell counts. Its alkylamides have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects, partly by binding to cannabinoid receptors on immune cells. Polysaccharides and polyphenols induce cell-mediated immunity and help stabilize secretory IgA levels. While meta-analyses generally support the use of echinacea as an antiviral, standardization of its key components is essential to ensure clinical benefit.

This potent antiviral formula also contains extracts of lomatium and reishi mushroom, long-traditionally used antiviral herbs. Reishi contains triterpenoids that inhibit both viral cell entry and viral replication, and lomatium has in vitro inhibitory effects on rotavirus and blocks the production of CXCL10, a key signaling molecule for influenza and other viral infections. Extracts of echinacea, licorice, and astragalus have been shown to increase CD25 production and work synergistically to induce greater CD69 expression, both indicators of immune cell activation and regulation. The broad antiviral and adaptogenic properties of these herbs support their combined use to optimize immune function and support upper respiratory health.
