    Questions and Answers about NOW Foods, Echinacea

    Have a Question?

    Ask a Question
    • What are the benefits of taking NOW Foods, Echinacea?

      Taking NOW Foods, Echinacea may provide support for the immune system, potentially helping the body defend against various infections, particularly upper respiratory tract infections. Echinacea is believed to stimulate the production and activity of white blood cells, which play a crucial role in the body's immune response.

    • Why should you not take echinacea every day?

      Long-term, daily use of echinacea is not typically recommended as it may potentially reduce its effectiveness over time. The immune-stimulating effects of echinacea are thought to be most beneficial when used for short periods, particularly at the onset of illness or during times of increased susceptibility to infections.

    • What foods are high in echinacea?

      Echinacea is not typically found in common food sources. It is primarily consumed as a supplement or herbal preparation derived from the echinacea plant. The most common forms of echinacea supplements are made from the roots, leaves, and flowers of the plant, rather than being naturally present in everyday foods.

    • Is NOW Foods, Echinacea good for the kidneys?

      There is limited scientific evidence specifically addressing the effects of NOW Foods, Echinacea on kidney health. While echinacea is generally considered safe for most people when used as directed, its impact on kidney function has not been extensively studied. Some herbal supplements may interact with kidney function or medications, so it's important to be cautious, especially if you have existing kidney issues.

    • What are the side effects of NOW Foods, Echinacea?

      Side effects of NOW Foods, Echinacea are generally mild and uncommon when used as directed. Some individuals may experience gastrointestinal discomfort, such as nausea or stomach pain. In rare cases, allergic reactions may occur, particularly in people with sensitivities to plants in the daisy family. Headaches, dizziness, and skin rashes have also been reported in some users.

    • Who cannot take echinacea?

      Certain individuals should exercise caution or avoid taking echinacea. This includes people with autoimmune disorders, as echinacea may stimulate the immune system and potentially exacerbate their condition. Individuals with allergies to plants in the daisy family (such as ragweed or chrysanthemums) may be more likely to experience allergic reactions to echinacea.
