Who EchinAce Capsules Is For

  • Adults who want to act early when a cold starts
  • People looking to shorten the duration of a cold or upper respiratory infection
  • Those who prefer capsules to the taste of echinacea tincture
  • Anyone wanting two echinacea species in one product
  • People who want an alcohol-free echinacea option

Who this product is NOT for:

  • People allergic to ragweed or other plants in the daisy family
  • Anyone with an autoimmune disorder, a progressive systemic disease, or taking immunosuppressants
  • People with kidney (renal) disease
  • Children — the label gives an adult dose only

Vitamart's Take

Echinacea is the classic cold-season herb, and EchinAce capsules use both of the main species — purpurea and angustifolia — in a concentrated 5:1 extract. The label is clear: it helps relieve symptoms and shorten the duration of upper respiratory tract infections like the common cold. Capsules make it easy to take without the strong taste of a tincture. Keep it to short courses and check the cautions if you have an autoimmune condition or ragweed allergy.

How EchinAce Capsules Compares

Capsules vs. EchinAce Original liquid

EchinAce Original is the tincture version with two echinacea species. The capsules are alcohol-free and tasteless.

Two species vs. one

EchinaPura uses E. purpurea only, and Echinacea Angustifolia uses E. angustifolia only. EchinAce capsules combine both.

EchinAce vs. Virafect

Virafect is a seven-herb andrographis formula for cold and flu symptoms. EchinAce is a simpler echinacea-only product.

  • Echinacea purpurea and Echinacea angustifolia are the two most widely used species
  • Different parts are used: roots and tops of E. purpurea, roots and rhizomes of E. angustifolia
  • It is one of the best-known herbs for colds and upper respiratory infections
  • This product uses a 5:1 powdered extract of each species

Recommended Purpose

  • Helps to relieve the symptoms and shorten the duration of upper respiratory tract infections (e.g. common colds)
