Echinacea
EchinaceaCommon names:Coneflower (Purple)- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

Comments about NATURES WAY Nature's Way® Echinacea:
I take the recommended amount as directed on the bottle daily and I strongly believe this product works. I am a college student, so I am in classes with all kinds of people who may be sick and I do not want to catch whatever it is they have. Taking Echinacea helps a lot with that by building up my immune system. I take it year around, but more heavily during the school year so I do not get sick and end up missing class.
