Echinacea purpurea has a long history of use in traditional medicine to help fight off infections and has the most significant clinical support of all the echinacea varieties. This Big Friends formula features ECHINAMIDE, a clinically proven extract standardized to E. purpurea’s three key active compounds: alkylamides, polysaccharides, and cichoric acid. While many supplements use only the purple flowers of this herb, ECHINAMIDE uses both the flowers and the therapeutic roots. Every 1 mL of the 1:1 liquid extract is equivalent to 1000 mg of fresh, certified organic herb, harvested when active ingredients are at their peak concentration.
Children simply love the delicious berry flavour of Big Friends Echinacea. Our alcohol-free liquid tincture can be added to water, making it easy for children to take. Plus, it’s naturally flavoured, contains no sugar, and has been tested and verified as clean and non-GMO by ISURA®.
