Echinaforce to support immune health

Seasonal changes may bring your family more health challenges, including greater exposure to cold viruses. Holistic pharmacist and author Sherry Torkos taught Ottawa, Canada’s CTV noon news viewers how to stock a natural medicine cabinet, explaining why that it should include scientifically proven Echinaforce.

As days get shorter, we spend more time indoors where children share more germs. They also wash their hands in a less-than-optimal fashion. Torkos, author of The Canadian Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine, shared that her own four-year-old “likes to play with everything, then suck his thumb and then he’s playing with other things.” Perhaps not the best hygiene. What can you do to help support your family’s immune health?

Torkos recommended organically grown, clinically proven Echinaforce. She explained that the biggest study to date was conducted at Cardiff University’s Cold and Flu Center in the United Kingdom. It involved more than 700 people and “found that this product could not only help lessen the number of episodes of cold and flu, but people that did get sick had fewer symptoms and got better quicker. So that’s something to think about.”

She stated that Echinaforce is “very different from other types of echinacea you may encounter in a health food store or pharmacy.” It can be taken regularly to support overall immune health. Or, “if you feel like you’re coming down with something, you get that tickle in your throat, that sore throat,” Torkos suggested throat-soothing Echinaforce Sore Throat Spray, which contains sage and peppermint for pain relief.

Torkos explained that Echinaforce Junior is suitable for children ages two and above. “You just have to watch the age and really look at the labels carefully.”

Look for Echinaforce at health and food stores; pharmacies and supermarkets. Or speak with your health care professional. The entire Echinaforce line is also available online at
