Effects

Vitamin A, like vitamin C and zinc, is necessary for the immune system to function properly.

Vitamin B6 is very important to antibody formation.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), echinachea has been shown in over 350 studies to be effective in boosting immunity, particularly respiratory immunity. It is also recognized for its ability to promote mucosa repair. It plays an important role in the mucosae of the respiratory, urinary and gastro-intestinal systems during infections.

Finally, bioflavinoids act in synergy with vitamin C, thus boosting its effectiveness.

This formula is intended to increase immunity. It is very effective in cases of respiratory infections, such as a cold or flu.
