Immunity advice from A.Vogel

The immune system is the body’s defence mechanism – the army with which the body protects itself against disease-causing organisms such as viruses, bacteria or fungi, which are known as pathogens. The troops that make up this army are various types of white blood cells, which are produced in the bone marrow.

When working well, the immune system is constantly vigilant in order to protect us from infection, infestation and general invasion by bugs of all descriptions

If you have a fully functional immune system, then when you are exposed to a bug, you should kick it out quickly and symptoms such as a raised temperature will not last for long.

But if it’s not working well:

Weak immune function makes it harder to withstand infection by viruses, bacteria or fungi. You will be more susceptible to contracting colds, flu and cold sores. The immune system will take longer to detect and conquer the bug, so symptoms such as raised temperature, swollen glands, sore throat,coughs, catarrh, etc., will be present more frequently.

What weakens the immune system?

  • Eating a bad diet
  • Eating lots of sugary or fatty foods
  • Drinking excessive amounts of alcohol
  • Smoking
  • Being stressed and unhappy
  • Not getting enough sleep

How can A.Vogel Echinacea help you?

Echinaforce® is a licensed traditional herbal remedy for colds and flu. It helps the body fight the symptoms of these infections by supporting the immune system, helping to maintain the body’s resistance.

A.Vogel Echinacea is produced using extracts of freshly harvested, organically grown Echinacea purpurea herb and root, picked fresh and used within 24 hours of harvest. The benefit of using freshly harvested herbs has been demonstrated in research – extracts produced from fresh plants contain almost 3 times more active substances compared with those obtained from equivalent amounts of dried herb*.

This is why, when you need a herbal remedy to help you fight the misery of colds and flu, not all Echinaceas are the same.

Panacea stores stock a wide variety of A.Vogel Echinaforce® products including liquid tinctures, tablets and their latest Echinaforce® Hot Drink
