The Solgar Echinacea Root and Leaf Extract is a dietary supplement in phytocapsules, with two forms of echinacea per phytocapsule. Contains 300mg raw flowers Echinacea purpurea and 125mg titled root extract Echinacea angustifolia, standardized to 4% echinacosides. The package contains 60 phytocapsules.
Intended for adults who want a botanical preparation with clear labeling of the active group, and not just ground plant material, in a form suitable for vegans.
Echinacea is a genus of plants in the family of composites, originating from North America, where it was traditionally used by indigenous populations. In supplements, three species are mainly found, most commonly Echinacea purpurea and Echinacea angustifolia. These two species differ in their chemical profile, as the first is richer in caffeic acid derivatives and alkamides in the aerial parts, while the second stands out for its echinacosides in the root.
Titledness, i.e., the statement that the extract contains 4% echinacosides, means that the batch is controlled to yield a consistent amount of the specific group of compounds. Without titledness, the content of a plant extract can vary significantly from batch to batch, depending on the soil, harvest, and extraction method. For botanicals, the European Union has not completed the assessment of health claims, so echinacea is described here in terms of what it is and what it contains.**
According to the product presentation by Solgar itself, the preparation falls within the range of standardized plant extracts, with the following points:
The above formulations are attributed to the producer. Echinacea does not have an approved health claim from the EFSA and remains a subject of research, so the e-shop does not make an outcome claim in its own voice. Formulations from the producer's material that refer to immune support or benefit to the respiratory system are not reproduced here, as they are not allowed for dietary supplements.**
It suits adults who use herbs seasonally, especially during the winter months, and want a standardized preparation instead of tincture or infusion. It suits those who evaluate titledness as a quality criterion in plant supplements. It also suits vegans and vegetarians, as the product is declared without animal products. It is not recommended for long-term use by people with autoimmune diseases without a doctor's recommendation. It is a dietary supplement and does not replace medical diagnosis or treatment. Infections and feverish illnesses always need a doctor's assessment.
