As part of it's new expansion of Echinacea products, ThinkNatural is focusing on all the Echinacea products available on the site. This week's focus is on Echinacea purpurea 360mg tablets from Lifeplan.

Echinacea products can be a rather vague term, that applies to any number of remedies or preparations. ThinkNatural believes this product is worth shouting about for a number of reasons:

• It is prepared from the Echinacea root - the root (and seed) of Echinacea was traditionally used, because it was thought the healing essence of the plant resided here. Nowadays we know the constituents in Echinacea that have been meausred for their various immune-enhancing effects are more concentrated in the root or seed. 

• It is prepared from Echinacea purpurea - there are many different varieties of the Echinacea genius, and not all of them have proven therapeutic effects. Echinacea purpurea is known as the officinal species, which has long been used as a herbal remedy.

• It uses a standardised extract - Lifeplan has used a 4:1 extract, which means that for every 90mg tablet you take you are having the equivalent of 360mg of fresh herb goodness. This allows you to consume more of the herb in a smaller quantity
