Echinacea Tablets are a herbal supplement made from extracts of the Echinacea plant, traditionally used to help support the immune system. They are often taken to reduce the duration and severity of cold and flu symptoms or as a preventative measure during times of increased susceptibility to infection. Echinacea is thought to work by stimulating the body’s natural defences, helping it fight off infections more effectively. The tablets are usually taken daily for short-term use, particularly at the first sign of illness. While generally well tolerated, they should be used as part of a balanced approach to maintaining immune health.
