Echinaforce® by A. Vogel acts by modulating the immune system to help reduce the inflammatory response to viral attacks and activate the body's antiviral defenses to prevent infection - especially in more vulnerable individuals such as the elderly, children, people under high stress or fatigue, and smokers.
Echinaforce® by A. Vogel has a long-standing reputation for efficacy and safety, demonstrated by over 30 clinical studies, ranging from in vitro to randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies.
An in vitro study, published in the Virology Journal in September 2020, measured the impact of Echinaforce® against enveloped viruses, including members of the coronavirus family such as MERS, SARS-CoV-1 and common cold HCoV-229E.
The study was carried out by independent researchers at the Spiez laboratory in Switzerland. Cell experiments showed positive preliminary results on antiviral activity.
While the authors conclude that "Echinaforce® could be effective as a preventive treatment for all CoVs due to their structural similarities", these results have yet to be confirmed in human clinical trials.
