Echinacaforce for families’ cold and flu relief praised on Canadian TV
Staying healthy means being prepared. While many people turn to over-the-counter medications to manage the season’s inevitable illnesses, pharmacist Sherry Torkos explains that you can fortify your defenses naturally by supporting your immune system with a clinically studied form of echinacea. Torkos appeared on Southern Ontario’s CTV to share natural strategies for managing colds and flu in the entire family, including the Echinaforce Junior Echinacea Tabsapproved for children as young as two years old and Echinaforce Echincea Tabs for adults.
“It often begins when school starts. A couple of weeks later, after the children have been playing indoors close to one another,” said Torkos, author of The Canadian Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine. “It doesn’t take long before they bring it home to their family members and spread the germs.”
While families may already know that echinacea may help fortify the immune system, they may not realize that effectiveness among brands can vary. “There are lots of different types of echinacea. What’s unique about Echinaforce is that it’s made from wild organic echinacea,” Torkos explained. She described this particular organically grown echinacea plant has been clinically studied at the Common Cold Centre at Cardiff University. “What we know is, if taken regularly, it can reduce the frequency, severity and duration of cold and flu symptoms. And it’s safe for children two and above. There are not many things safe for kids.” Torkos mentioned that she gives her son Echinaforce Junior Echinacea Tabs. The chewable tablets help maintain immune system health which can improve the body’s speed of responding to invading cold and flu germs.
Torkos also shared information about Echinaforce Sore Throat Spray. “A lot of colds start with that sore, scratchy throat,” Torkos said. “This is echinacea, sage and peppermint. It provides relief of the pain and discomfort of a sore throat. It also targets the site of action and helps to speed healing.” The clinically proven spray is fast acting, cooling and soothing to the throat.
