Take Echinamide
Echinamide provides the best way to gain all of the
benefits that echinacea has to offer in the fight against
the common cold. Echinamide is available in several
different forms. Here are my recommendations on
which form is best for you along with dosage
recommendations:
For example, in addition to the Echinamide Anti-
Viral Formula described on page 64 , there are
Echinamide products designed specifically for infants
and children (e.g., Big Friends Echinamide); coughs
and colds (Echinamide Cough & Cold Syrups); and
extra strength Echinamide products available in
capsules, alcohol-based tinctures and fluid extracts,
alcohol-free liquids and syrups, and as throat sprays.
For general use to boost immune function, follow
the dosage recommendations on the label. However,
when dealing with a cold or flu, you will need to start
with a “loading dosage.” Basically, double the dosage
amount stated on the bottle and take it every two to
three waking hours during the first 48 hours of use.
(Note: This recommendation does not apply to the
Echinamide Cold Formulas that contain ephedra.) For
example, the dosage recommendation on the label for
Echinamide Extra Strength Tincture is 12 drops two
times per day in a glass of water. During the first 48
hours of use, the loading dosage would then be 24
drops in water every two to three hours.
