INGREDIENTS

Echinacea spp. (Echinacea)

Best known for its immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties, Echinacea is used especially in the alleviation of cold and flu symptoms. Due to its immunomodulating actions, echinacea is a key herb for preventing a cold or flu; however, when combined with other herbs such as Andrographis, Echinacea works to reduce the severity of infection.

NOTE: good quality Echinacea extracts will make the tongue and mouth tingle for approximately 10 minutes after taking, do not be alarmed. If this sensation persists, along with other symptoms associated with an allergic reaction, please contact a health professional immediately.

Sambucus nigra (Elderberry)

Whilst it provides a yummy flavour to many cough and cold syrups, Elderberry has been used traditionally and in clinical studies as a supportive agent against the common cold and flu. Pharmacological studies have shown its antiviral and antimicrobial properties are effective in reducing severity of infections. Elderberry also contains anti-catarrhal properties, reducing sinus pain and runny noses associated with the cold and flu.

Andrographis paniculate (Andrographis)

Andrographis has traditional and clinical studies supporting its use in preventative and symptomatic treatment of upper respiratory tract infections, such as the common cold, flu, sinusitis and bronchitis. The immunomodulatory and antiviral properties work well alongside Echinacea to provide symptomatic relief and reduce severity of infection.

NOTE: there have been reported allergies to Andrographis. If you are aware of an allergy to the herb, this product is not suitable for you and an alternative can be provided. If you experience symptoms associated with an allergic reaction, please contact a health professional immediately.
