A.Vogel's Echinaforce products
Protect yourself & your entire family with clinically proven immune support
With virus prevention at the top of all Canadians minds, it is imperative to remember that the best form of prevention is a strong immune system, particularly for those in higher risk categories such as the elderly, children, people under high stress levels or fatigue and smokers.
With so many products on the market it is important to ensure whatever you choose is backed by science and approved claims.
Clinical research shows Echinaforce's potent antiviral, antiinflammatory and antibacterial properties can significantly prevent and relieve symptoms of a wide range of cold and flu viruses.1,2
To protect you and your family, Echinaforce can be taken daily up to 4 months3 to effectively modulate the immune system to help reduce the inflammatory response of an attacking cold and flu virus and activate the body's antiviral defenses to prevent infection.4,5
With over 65 years on the market and 30 clinical trials backing its efficacy, Echinaforce has become a trusted brand to help Canadians, aged 2 and up, (including pregnant and nursing women) significantly reduce their chances of falling victim to cold and flu viruses.
