Echinamide, is grown and harvested at the Natural Factors Certified Organic Farms located in the Canadian Okanagan region. Growing our ingredients on our own certified organic farms gives us complete control over securing the best quality raw materials possible. Literally, control from seed selection to finished products.

Echinamide is processed from fresh the whole plant, including the flowers, roots and stems and is standardised for potency. The patented extraction method ensures the bioavailability of the three key plant actives in Echinacea purpurea: alkylamides, cichoric acid, and polysaccharides. These compounds provide the foundation for the specialised ingredient Echinamide, and the whole herb base provides completeness and ensures that no minor actives are missing from the ingredient. In clinical trials Echinamide has  been shown to be an effective immune stimulant that combats upper respiratory tract infections.
