What is Echinacea Extract Powder ?

Native to North America, echinacea is a coneflower that has been used in natural medicine for more than 400 years. In fact, Native Americans from the Great Plains Indian tribes were known to use the flower for medicinal purposes. Although it's technically an herb, medicine can be made from echinacea's roots, flowers and leaves.

Before the mass introduction of antibiotics during WWII, echinacea extract powder benefits were widely enjoyed by the medical community. But the famed herb lost the bulk of its esteem after antibiotics caused a massive shift in the medical world. Surprisingly, the chemicals found in the root of echinacea differ greatly from those in the upper section of the flower. When the roots are analyzed, we can see elevated concentrations of essential oils. Contrast that with the polysaccharides contained in the parts of the plant that grow above ground, and you can see how the plant has real immune boosting powers.

In fact, several of echinacea extract powder's chemical constituents are known immune system enhancers and offer great therapeutic value. These include essential oils, vitamin C, insulin, flavonoids and polysaccharides.
