Echinacea Extract
Echinacea, also called purple coneflower, is one of the most popular herbs worldwide.Native Americans have used it for centuries to treat various ailments .Today, it's best known as an over-the-counter herbal remedy for the common cold or flu. However, it's also used to treat pain, inflammation, migraines, and other health issues.
Echinacea plants are loaded with plant compounds that function as antioxidants.
Antioxidants are molecules that help defend your cells against oxidative stress, a state that has been linked to chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, and many others.
Some of these antioxidants are flavonoids, cichoric acid, and rosmarinic acid.
These antioxidants appear to be higher in extracts from the flowers and roots of the plants, compared to other parts, such as the leaves.
In addition, echinacea plants contain compounds called alkamides, which can further enhance antioxidant activity.
