Echinacea's main active ingredients, polyphenols, caffeic acid derivatives and polysaccharides have the following function -- Significantly improve immune system:

·         Antibiotics

·         Activation of tissue growth

·         Blood purification

·         Antiviral effect

·         Anti-oxidation and anti-free radical effect

·         Tumor inhibition

·         Inhibiting effect on hyaluronidase

·         Anti-inflammatory effect

·         Interferon-like effect

1. Immune stimulation

Inulin: plays a role by increasing the number of granulocytes and white blood cells, and increases the chemotaxis of monocytes and neutrophils.

Polysaccharide: the hydrocarbon receptors on the surface of T lymphocytes and macrophages produce immune stimulation, which can increase the phagocytosis ability of macrophages, and stimulate macrophages to increase the number of tumor necrosis factor, interferon, and white blood cell intermediation, which can destroy tumor cells.

Alkylamines and caffeic acid derivatives: lipophilic alkylamines can increase the phagocytic ability of macrophages.

Echinacea: increases the activity of non-specific T cells, produces interferon, promotes the secretion of lymphocytes, reduces t-helper cells, and reduces the ratio of t-helper cells to inhibitory factors.

2. Tissue renewal and anti-infection effect

Inhibiting hyaluronidase (hyaluronidase) can stimulate the growth of fibroblasts and the synthesis of glucosaminase, produce corticosterone and promote the secretion of adrenal cortical hormone.Polysaccharides have anti-infection effects.

3. Antibacterial effect

Echinacea and caffeic acid derivatives have weak antibacterial activity.

4. Antiviral effect

Can inhibit influenza, herpes and blistering viruses, antiviral activity is attributed to the inhibition of hyaluronidase, can block the cell surface of the virus receptor.
