Top Immune Health Ingredients
|
As part of our special edition on immune support, NutraIngredients presents our pick of the top immune ingredients. First up: Echinacea. The purple flower is one of the most recognizable herbal products out there. A meta-analysis published in 2007 in The Lancet Infectious Diseases (Vol. 7, Pages 473-480) concluded that echinacea may cut the risk of catching the common cold by almost 60%. Researchers from the University of Connecticut combined the results of 14 different studies with positive results. In one of the studies they found in that echinacea taken in combination with vitamin C reduced cold incidence by 86%, and when the herbal was used alone the incidence was reduced by 65%. |
