Echinacea and Goldenseal are often teamed up together to form a strong immune support product. Echinacea/Goldenseal Liquid by Vitabase further enhances these two natural ingredients by adding a number of complementing herbs for maximum effectiveness.
Echinacea is one of the most popular herbal supplements in use today. Although its use declined in the 1930s with the introduction of antibiotics, in recent years it has experienced a resurgence of use. Echinacea’s primary application comes in fighting infections and boosting immune system function. It appears to be particularly beneficial in treating upper respiratory tract infections. Echinacea is most effective when taken at the first sign of infection instead of as a preventive.
Goldenseal has a long history of use. A native North American plant, it was widely used both internally and externally by American Indians and early settlers. The active alkaloids in goldenseal help make it particularly effective against mucous membrane infections.
Yerba Mansa functions similarly to goldenseal. It is useful for treating inflamed mucous membranes. It can also offer relief for a sore throat.
Red Root is also known as New Jersey Tea and functions as an expectorant helping the body rid itself of mucous from the respiratory tract.
Wild Indigo is used to treat infections and inflammation of the ear, nose, and throat.
Oregon Grape is a close relative of goldenseal and functions very similarly. Many herbalists today will prescribe Oregon Grape interchangeably with goldenseal. Oregon Grape contains berberine which helps boost immune cell function. It can also help prevent throat infections.
Licorice acts as an expectorant helping clear drainage from a cold. It can also help relieve a sore throat and cough.
Myrrh is a beneficial for treating mild inflammation of the throat or mouth.
You will not easily find a more complete natural supplement to boost your immune system or counteract the symptoms of colds and infections. The alcohol free tincture is easy to take. You can add it to water or juice. Because it is a liquid you get superior absorption of the beneficial compounds.
