A. Vogel Echinaforce Forte

What is Echinaforce® Forte?
Echinaforce® Forte Cold & Flu tablets are a traditional herbal medicinal product used to relieve the symptoms of the common cold and influenza type infections, exclusively based upon long-standing use as a traditional remedy. Always read the leaflet.
 
Echinaforce® Forte is ideal for those looking for a high strength echinacea with more convenient dosage.
 
Our Echinacea products are 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 by research – extracts from fresh plants contain almost 3 times more active substances compared to those obtained from equivalent amounts of dried herb*.
